Snowblowers

Has anyone read Gene Wojciechowski's article on ESPN.com about Indianapolis? If you haven't heard Indy was awarded the Super Bowl in 2011. They nearly got the 2010 game but were edged out by 2 or 4 votes. This is a city that has hosted the most Final Fours of any other city, NBA All-Star games, the NFL combine and not to mention the 1997 Peru Tiger football team against Madison Grant in the Hoosier Dome! Needless to say, the city knows how to host. It is a perfect setting for any major sporting event. You have all the first class restaurants, 5 star hotels, high end shoppping and plenty of waterin' holes. And it has all of this in a very compact space where you can walk or take a short cab ride within a matter of a few blocks. Yet, Gene Wojciechowski would rather the NFL go on strike in 2011 than play a Super Bowl in Indianapolis. He states that it is too cold; that he you're gonna need snowblowers to get around. What a toolbox! The avg temp in Indy in February is around 30, but knowing the midwest it could just as easily be 60! Hey, lets have it in Miami where it's 70 in February...oh wait they did 3 years ago and it poured down rain the entire weekend and cost Da Bears da Super Bowl! I say we take up a collection and buy this A-hole a nice packet of hot chocolate and some ear muffs...just in case.
On another note...Carb day is getting rained out; ruined my tv watching for today. Oh, and I got new pillows; they're just ok. Oh, and I went fishing and caught a 378lb Marlin...I thought it was Miguel Cabrera but then remembered he's in Detroit. Big up's!! Bye!!
