In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Jacksonville took a lot of unnecessary bad press for the inclement weather the week leading up to its Super Bowl.

With the recent ice storm and cold weather coming up in Dallas this week, it will be interesting to see if they get the same media "heat".


Media Hacks:
"NFL sponsors throwing lavish parties and players who had planned to attend festivities also are being left in the cold. Even the most dreadful city ever to host a Super Bowl â€" Jacksonville â€" looks like paradise in comparison."

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/brutal-conditions-for-super-bowl-should-serve-as-lesson-to-nfl-020411



Dallas has had an ice storm on top of 5-8 inches of snow on top of a taxi strike on top of hundreds of cancelled and delayed flights on top of rolling blackouts on top of temps in the teens on top of injuries due to ice falling off of Cowboys Stadium on top of parties and events being cancelled and this could go on and on and yet they are still considering Dallas as a future contender for SuperBowls simply because the stadium can fit 100,000 people.  Well news flash, the cheapest tickets for the SuperBowl this year dropped from $3500 to $2000 and many people won't even make it to the Superbowl, so is it still the money maker they are promising?

The Superbowl is only going to "new stadium" preferably indoor stadium cities now, which rules out CA and FL (well I guess LA will be getting the new $800M Farmer's Field).

I guarantee you that Dallas will still be a contender because it is the home of the Cowboys and it has some big NFL commission head honchos.  I guarantee you New Orleans will still be in the running even though the Superdome is the crappiest stadium ever because it's politically correct to have it in NOLA.  Even though they say it won't be in CA or S FL until new stadiums are built, I guarantee you that there will be Superbowls in those areas because the NFL guys and the media love those areas.  The cold weather experiment will not last.

The Falcons have been in serious talks to build a new stadium for the past year, and I bet that this episode in Dallas will spur those talks into action pretty soon.  LA has a $700M commitment for a new stadium already.  I'm sure there are other cities that are discussing new stadiums as well and I hope we don't become one of them.  The Jaguars (or any team for that matter) are not worth $500M+ to the taxpayers.

Bottom line: Dallas isn't really getting much heat even though it should!  The NFL has turned into a purely political machine bent on making money, all to the unfortunate cost to the fans/taxpayers.  Let's see what happens in Indy next year.  Wonderful NOLA will get it in 2013 and New York will be another blizzard filled Superbowl in 2014.

Went to a saints game this year, the superdome is a hellhole.  Maybe I'm spoiled but the worse stadium I've been in since the old orange bowl, the old tampa stadium was better.

LMAO! Love me a good double entendre

It's always a good thing when Jax-area Steeler fans are humbled. Just like in 07' with the Garrard run.

Are you really sure that was Slash... Looked like an animatronic figure to me.  I friend of mine tweeted that Axl Rose probably drove his 89 Honda Accord off a cliff after that performance last night.

I was just impressed that Polamalu had time during halftime to perform with the Blackeyed Peas... ;D

Wow, someone finally stood up to Big Ben and avoided getting locked in the bar restroom with him.  Congrats Green Bay.
