  WHAT:     The 989 Sports™ "Game Before The Game®" is the
            PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system version of the
            Super Bowl, played on the popular football videogame franchise
            -- NFL GameDay™ 2001.  989 Sports is pitting Super Bowl
            participants Jason Sehorn, Defensive Back for the New York
            Giants and Qadry Ismail, Wide Receiver for the Baltimore Ravens
            head-to-head on NFL GameDay 2001 to see who will be the

            Rams to victory against the Titans on Super Bowl Sunday -- A
            feat that the previous four Game Before Game winners have all
