Super Bowl

What connection to the National Football League do siblings Gedalia and Mendel Schwartz hold?

AThey are the only Jewish siblings both playing in the NFL–Gedalia is Geoff's Hebrew name (he plays for the Minnesota Vikings) and Mendel is Mitchell's Hebrew name (he plays for the Cleveland Browns).

BThey were the heads of the marketing firm that came up with the name "Super Bowl" and chose to use roman numerals to designate the yearly event.

CThey are the proprietors of Schwartz Dogz, the vendor which holds the exclusive franchise for kosher hot dogs at this year's Super Bowl.

DIn 2009, they successfully petitioned NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to change the time of a New York Jets home game to 1pm from 4pm, as Yom Kippur fell that evening.

EWhen they were selected to participate in the NFL's Punt, Pass & Kick competition, they received permission to use a football made from cow skin instead of pig skin, as they were Orthodox Jewish students at the Yeshiva of Flatbush.
