Super Bowl enters Ice Age in New York

Makes no sense: NFL fears South Florida rain, embraces New York's cold

<snip>

"New York?

Really?

That's why I don't bet on pro football. With the sun, the surf, South Beach and Las Olas, I make South Florida a 12-point favorite to host any Super Bowl.

But in a move that makes that Super Bowl in Jacksonville look inspired, NFL owners on Tuesday awarded the 2014 game to New York. Start spreading the road salt.

This shows how goofy NFL Sheriff Roger Goodell's leadership has been on this issue. He recently said the Super Bowl wouldn't return to South Florida until a few hundred million dollars were spent on a stadium roof. That's because it rained once in 10 Super Bowls held here.

Now Goodell's league is taking the big game to New York, where there is no roof on the new stadium and the Super Bowl will be played at a time known in football lingo as "dead of winter."

That's right. Goodell took the game from South Florida because of a 10 percent chance of wet and handed it to New York despite a 100 percent chance of freezing cold.

That, folks, is leadership. And, by leadership, I mean that's the cool, crisp sound of big money changing hands. Which, surprise, surprise, is what this is really about."

FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS!

They only have it in warm weather places for the benefit of the corporate douchebags who get the comps. Maybe the real fans can get a hold of the tickets the suits won't want because it's too cold for their punk asses.

:thumbsup:

What is the matter with you candy asses? :P

as bad as NE, or the upper midwest. Its not Green Bay or Minnesota for goodness sake. Yeah, it gets cold and sometimes it snows but its NOT the Yukon after all.

is the game that's supposed to be the epitome of what football is about.

No one worries about the fans getting too wet or too cold at games during the regular season, and they fill the stands anyway. They shouldn't make an exception for the Super Bowl--it makes them look all, you know, like, GREEDY!

Nobody cares about Jersey though.

All New Jersians are typically categorized as either New Yorkers, if they are in the northern part of the state, or Philadelphians, if they are in the southern part of the state.

They get no respect.
(Not that they deserve any :hide:)

The bastard stepchild of the tri state area

:popcorn:

At least in CT we did not identify ourselves by the exit we got off the highway.

part of the tri-state area, actually.

Here we are thoroughly New England, none of that Fairfield County/Gold Coast/NYC bedroom community crap...
