Search for Mr. Right expensive

Amy Borkowsky is looking for Mr. Right.

But after striking out in some traditional avenues for meeting members of the opposite sex -- bars, nightclubs, houses of worship, grocery stores -- the 40-something New Yorker decided to take her search in a different direction. She is looking to purchase commercial time during the upcoming Super Bowl.

Borkowsky, a comedian and former advertising copywriter, is hoping to raise $3 million to purchase 30 seconds of air time for what is usually America's most-watched TV program.

She has launched a Web site -- SuperBowlSingleGirl.com -- to help promote her cause and to raise the $3 million.

"Because people are living longer, it's more important to meet the right guy," Borkowsky told the Los Angeles Times. "You have to decide, 'Can I see myself on the porch when I'm 90 having a prune-juice martini with this guy?' "

Borkowsky admits she's not a football fan. But she knows that with the Super Bowl comes exposure and with exposure comes opportunity.

"I just want to make sure I get the largest pool of guys to choose from," she said.

• A HELPING HAND -- Angelo Dundee wants everyone to know he's not making a comeback.

He also wants everyone to know that despite being 87 years old, he's not ready to play shuffleboard in Florida.

The Hall of Fame boxing trainer, who has worked with 15 world champions, including Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, has been retained by Oscar De La Hoya for his upcoming fight with Manny Pacquiao on Dec. 6 at the MGM Grand Garden. But don't look for Dundee to take over the Golden Boy's training camp or be in his corner on fight night, though he will be close enough at ringside that if De La Hoya is in trouble, he'll be able to shout at him, "You're blowin' it, kid!"

"I'm there to observe and help out in any way I can," Dundee said. "Whatever they want me to do."

Dundee will spend time at De La Hoya's Big Bear, Calif., training camp later this month, but he said lead trainer Nacho Beristain will be calling the shots.

Not everyone was impressed with De La Hoya's hire. Freddie Roach, a former De La Hoya trainer who currently works with Pacquiao, said, "I don't care if Oscar has Major Dundee in his camp. No one is going to be able to help Oscar pull the trigger when he faces Manny on Dec. 6."

• NO TRICKS, JUST TREATS -- Tens of thousands of fans cheered with pride and jubilation as the World Series-champion Philadelphia Phillies set off on flatbed trucks Friday to begin the city's first sports title parade in 25 years.

The last time a Philadelphia team won a major title was in 1983, when the 76ers won the NBA championship. The Phillies won their only other World Series title in 1980.

Nick and Patricia Gavin of suburban Delaware County, who were children when they attended the 1980 parade, brought their kids downtown Friday.

Jaclyn, 10, planned to dress as a Phillies ball girl later in the day for Halloween, but her brother, Nicholas, 8, was too excited about the World Series win to think about trick or treating.

"This made me forget about Halloween," Nicholas said.
