I'm a football fan. (for my international readers... not that version of football with tiny boy shorts and a round checker boarded ball) I love it. I miss playing it... and I can't get enough of it on T.V. First off, GO AFC! Notice I said AFC.... although my Texans will not be there anytime soon, I will however support the division. Much like the National League in baseball... but that's for my summer time rants. So, back to my original point. The Super Bowl has become an institution of American life. T.V. sales, snack food booms, and countless people clearing space in their houses so nothing gets broken... THEN there are the lucky 65,857 people... plus or minus a few... that will actually be there when it happens at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. I myself, will not be there. I know... many of you are wondering HOW the mighty ChuCK couldn't be at such an event... Well, it boils down to time. But then again... it could have something to do with the nose bleed seats going for $1,600 a pop. Now we all know I would be more than happy to drop the $5,000 -$9,000 for 50 yard sideline seats... no problem. Yea right... So I get that this is THE game. The big momma. There is none higher at any level of football. The NFL even has gag orders on all media outlets that they can't use the words "Super Bowl" unless they sign a contract with all kinds of clauses. Hell, even on the radio they outright said "since we can't say it, the BIG GAME party will be at..." how sad is that... Currently the projections put ticket sales totaling around $57 million, advertising at around $275 million, and oh AND they are still bitching that they will fall short of their goals by around $50 million. OH me oh FRIGGIN my... they aren't making enough money. So how bad is it really hitting the NFL if some radio station says the words "Super Bowl"? What if they broke it up... something along the lines of "the Super event that happens to be played only once a year that uses the reference of a eating surface called a Bowl". Does that work? I don't think it will break the bank for them... Hell, I think my budget, in this wonderful economy we have here, is about $28.75. Just enough for chips, beer, and MAYBE oh just MAYBE some bratwurst... if it's on sale. You know what... somewhere along the line I lost completely what I was talking about... oh well...
Go AFC..
You SUCK NFC...
and this Super Bowl shit is getting WAY too damn expensive...
