ESPN The Magazine's Super Bowl 50 Issue, on newsstands today, focuses on the Super Bowl as a cultural phenomenon.

The issue features Bryan Curtis on the NFL's success in branding more than just the big game in "All That Glitters." Danyel Smith writes about how Whitney Houston soothed a nation on the 25th anniversary of her national anthem performance, and David Fleming plays detective, piecing together the best Super Bowl party of all time in "Joey Fatone, Miss February 1999 and One Epic Chocolate Fountain." This all leads up to the Super Bowl preview, anchored by Tim Keown's examination of why Cam Newton continues to be a lightning rod of controversy, as well as breakdowns of whether the Panthers or Broncos hold the competitive edge, from blitz schemes and passing when pressured to red zone success and players to watch.
