Super Bowl XLI
Bears vs. Colts
Kickoff at 3 p.m. Sunday
on KOIN-Channel 6
Colts quarterback Payton Manning is a two-time most
valuable player.
Super Bowl XLI will have a
fresh look with two teams that
haven't seen the NFL's title
game in a long time.
The Chicago Bears are back
in the Super Bowl for first time
since winning Super Bowl XX
in January 1986, while the In
dianapolis Colts make a Super
Bowl appearance for the first
time since the franchise was in
Baltimore and beat Dallas in
Super Bowl V.
Both teams started the sea
son fast with the Bears win
ning their first seven games on
their way to the NFC North
title and the Colts starting 9-0
on their way to the AFC South
crow n.
The championship game will
feature strength against strength
with the Colts offense, ranked
third in the regular season, going
against a Bears defense that
finished the season ranked fifth
overall.
Both teams have plenty of
talent, with Chicago sending
seven players to the Pro Bowl,
six from the defense or special
teams, and the Colts boasting
five Pro Bowl players, all from
the offense.
Bears coach Lovie Smith and
Colts coach Tony Dungy are
close friends, dating back to
Smith'stime workingon Dungy's
staff with the Tampa Bay Bucs,
and the two are the first Afri

Skin Color
Makes a
Difference
(A P) — L ight-skinned im m i
grants in the United States make
more money on average than those
with darker com plexions, and the
ch ief reason appears to be discrim i
nation, a researcher says.
Joni Hersch, a law and econom
ics professor at Vanderbilt U niver
sity. hxtked at a governm ent sur
vey o f 2,084 legal im m igrants to the
United States from around the world
and found that those with the light
est skin earned an average o f 8
percent to 15 percent more than
similar immigrants with much darker
skin.
“On average, being one shade
lighter has about the same effect as
having an additional year o f educa
tion," Hersch said.
The study also found that taller
im m igrants earn more than shorter
ones, with an extra inch o f height
associated with a 1 percent increase
in income.
