This is the fifth year that my family has hosted a Youth Super Bowl at our Franklin home during Super Bowl Sunday.
Football has been a passion of mine throughout my life, going back to 1989 when I was a young boy and my parents allowed me to host my first Super Bowl party. At that time, my father, Marty Walsh, helped me build a replica football goal post from PVC pipe in our backyard and purchased enough cans of spray paint to allow me to try to replicate what the actual Super Bowl end zones would look like.
