The JETS and GIANTS jointly announced today that they will submit a bid on Wednesday to host the 2014 Super Bowl at the new Meadowlands Stadium.
New York obviously takes a shit on both Miami and Tampa, the two other cities up for the opportunity to host that years Super Bowl. The only factor affecting this no brainer is the weather issue and the fact that New York may have about 20 feet of snow and a wind chill of negative 50 come Sunday night of the biggest game in all of sports. But that is the biggest horseshit reason not to give us the chance to have the big game here.
Think about where New York will be at come the year 2014. NYC will have bounced back fully from the recession and the ballers that roam the streets of Manhattan (I am included myself in this by that time) will have some serious money to spend on tickets, parties, dinners, hotels, etc.and on top of that the NFL has their headquarters located on Park Avenue and tell me they wouldn't be glad to reap the benefits of every public figure i.e. actor/actress, musician, athlete, models, etc. descend on their home turf and spend money like it is water.
Another factor to consider is where New York sports will stand at that time. The Yankees will have probably won at least two more World Series by then (kills me to say it), the METS will...who am I kidding will still be the Mets, the Knicks and Lebron will probably be going for at the least their second title run, the JETS would probably be going for their fourth straight title and the GIANTS may have finally rebuilt by then and could have a shot to see the Subway Super Bowl and as for the Rangers and Islanders well hopefully hockey won't even be around.
Also you have to take into consideration the biggest factor and that is global warming, I mean if Al Gore says it's happening then it definitely is. So by the year 2014 Miami and Tampa will probably have been wiped off the planet due to hurricanes which would leave you with no choice to pick New York. Realistically more then half the league plays in cold weather throughout the entire regular season and playoffs so what is the difference if its cold out the day of the Super Bowl, sack up and play the game.
The NFL needs to host the big game in the Big Apple period. There is no better sports town in the entire world. It will be the biggest sporting event in terms of a non-New York team event that has ever happend in New York history and we all know us New Yorkers will not let the NFL down. So I hope you read this Commissioner Goodell and know that if you want to expand this game globally like you are trying to do what better way then to let the best fans in the world show you how to get it done.
Maybe you'll get lucky and instead of Joe Namath getting hammered and kissing Suzy Kolber maybe we will get to see A Rod finally come out of the closet and try to lay one on Chris Berman, want to talk about ratings.
