Blizzard Bowl!

Previously, you have learned that I regularly think the NFL is not only the No Fun League, but also, the No Freaking Clue League. Not this time. The league has made one of the best decisions in history recently by awarding the Superbowl to New York City! Whatever, New Jersey, New York, same difference. The point is still the same: outdoors, cold weather, big city. THIS is what football is all about.

When it snows, everyone grabs a ball and goes out slingin'. When the XBOX is turned on, every kid plays in a blizzard with Miami or San Diego set as the home team. We love it. We all remember when the dumb cowboy player slipped and kicked the ball and we all remember the Raiders vs Patriots AFC Championship. SNOW! Nobody on the planet can explain to me why this is a bad idea. Don't give me that whiney "what about a warm weather team?!" garbage. If weather really was an issue, why do we allow the 2nd most important games (conference championships) be played potentially at a cold weather city? Why did the Raiders (warm weather team) have to travel to play in a blizzard versus the Patriots? Why would it only be a valid complaint if it occurred one game later? Please!

Who's to say there is even going to be a blizzard or sub zero temperatures anyway? How does anyone know? Are we using the same fortune tellers that ESPN uses to tell us the latest "for sure" information about LeBron? Whether the game is played in a clear night in the 80s or a down right snow storm in the 20s, it's still the Superbowl. For 16 games + playoffs teams don't worry (or complain) about the elements, so why cry if it's the Superbowl? It isn't like one conference is played in the south and one in the north like its a freaking civil war reenactment. Not to mention, teams are filled with guys from all different colleges across the country and from different places before that. There is no true "warm weather" or "cold weather" team.

For once the game will be played like it should be. Good for the NFL for drive by mooning the AIGs, Goldman Sachs, and other corporate douches of the world who ruin this game annually. Good for the NFL for pants-ing the sassy glitzy Jennifer Lopezs, Ricky Martins, and Lindsay Lohans of the world. If you don't want to go, THEN DON'T GO! I am 100% positive someone will buy your ticket, even at quadruple the face value.

The celebrities, executives, and stupid pre game crap might disappear because its cold, but the game and its real fans won't. Now if only the NFL would embrace the spread offense....
