NEW YORK – The Super Bowl commercials are always a highlight of the big game and this year’s crop was especially creative.

The commercial describes the four Greek words, filia as love that comes from friendship, storgi as love for a grandparent or brother, eros as romantic love, and “agape, which New York Life expresses as the most profound, admirable type of love, involves ‘courage, sacrifice, and strength,’” heavy.com reported.
