News: Super Bowl MVP won't go to Disney World

Posted at 4:17 PM EST (2117 GMT)

Jan. 27th, 2005 -- It's happened for the past nineteen years, but it won't this year. Disney has abandoned plans for the star of the Super Bowl to do promotional advertisements proclaiming "I'm going to Disney World!".

Former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms was the first to utter the phrase after the 1987 Super Bowl. It quickly became a pop culture fixture after every Super Bowl game. While America's top theme park has cut out the ad this year, they have not ruled out bringing in back in 2006 or the near future.

For more information and a list of who has been involved in the advertisements in the past, visit FOXSports.com.

I could have swore the Patriots were going to win and Tom Brady was going back to Disney. Maybe that was just me.

Tom Brady is actually doing Hershey advertisements now.

I wonder how much they pay the players to say it.

I also wonder why they would just choose to not do it anymore.

I've thought it was getting old for a while now, so I'm glad to see it go.

I wonder why after all these years they decided not to do it. I'm curious what it must've cost to do it. And if think about it, this actually a fairly silly and obtrusive advertisment. Imagine if other companies tried ads like this. A player in the locker room after winning a big game "I'm gonna pop a couple Viagra and have Budweiser and go have wild sex with my girlfriend.... uh ah, I mean my wife"
