Landing like a wet turd yesterday was the announcement that Atlanta (2019), Miami (2020) and LA (2021) would host Super Bowls LIII, LIV & LV respectively. Lord knows each town has the available hookers & drug supply to handle the job. I’m sure the new Atlanta SphincterBowl and LA’s KroenkeWorld will be sheer palaces of excess that’ll make JerryWorld look like garbage. I’m sure South Beach can compensate for Miami’s other shortcomings.
However, looking at this list, I feel fairly confident we will again fail to have a home team playing in their town’s Super Bowl before 2022.
Arguments have been raised that the game should no longer be at a “neutral site”, but at the stadium of the team with the best record. That’s ridiculous, because what town could possibly prepare for a 80,000 person convention in two weeks? Taking a practical look, let’s use Green Bay.
I’ve been to Lambeau Field:
- Milwaukee’s General Mitchell airport (MKE) couldn’t handle the traffic surge, and O’Hare is 2.5 hours away
- the interstate up to Green Bay is a two-hour drive under the best conditions. It’s a state highway from both Madison & Minnesota.
- guaranteed sellouts means there hasn’t been enough tourist infrastructure built up in the Green Bay area to accommodate the sudden influx.
- unless you pay the premium, most hotels are in Appleton, 30 minutes away.
- they’d have to deputize the National Guard in order to provide enough security.
- “This is Peter King live at Brett Favre’s Steakhouse…”
- February 5th in Green Bay.
Which raises an interesting point: why not a pure neutral-site Super Bowl? Maybe not all the time; how about once every 5 years? Put it in a city that has no NFL ties. Rog has such a hard-on for the international market – let London or Mexico City host in 2022. (Providing, of course, God-Emperor Trump allows international travel.) Or, to accommodate the “AMERICA FIRST!!1!1” crowd, pick cities that don’t have an NFL team. They’ve punished Hawaii with enough Pro Bowls, let them have a real game for once. Why should Columbus or Tuscaloosa lose out, simply because they don’t have an NFL team; thanks to university “donations” and tax laws, those stadiums are better suited for the big game than Jacksonville or San Diego. They’ve held the game at Stanford and the Rose Bowl, so why not The Big House?
Or, they could just accept being the whores that they are, and do what’s right: Las Vegas. It’s got the infrastructure, if not the stadium. But what billionaire and mayor wouldn’t make that happen as part of “developing” the UNLV campus, especially if there were a shot at Super Bowl LVI? Hell – they gave LA #55 and that stadium is still a tract of dirt in Inglewood. The Vegas mob is surely easier to negotiate with than the 111th Street Crips. And I’m sure the “gambling issue” – if not acknowledged – can be easily papered over with donations and misdirection.
Speaking of Vegas, it looks like Rog is still intent on making Oakland beg. He wants to keep them in Oakland, methinks because the League would collect more in expansion fees than they would via relocation. He won’t come out and say that, of course, so he hides behind the usual bailiwick of gambling. But it seems Kraft and Jerrah have come around on the deal, which is shocking given their A-1 stances on moral issues.
I point this out because someone at sports aggravator Bleacher Report asked Mark Cuban about the costs of NFL expansion. Cuban said that the fees would range into “the billions”. The League gets relative peanuts if Mark Davis moves the team. Failing to land that whale could be the only thing that would bring down Rog.
Oh god – it sounds like “X-Men: Apocalypse” is just awful. Worse than Batman V Superman; possibly worse than even X-Men: The Last Stand. I’m still going to go, because I’m admittedly in the bag for comic book movies, but I dislike hate-watching movies. “So bad it’s good” I can deal with, but simply bad might be a cry for help.
I wonder who Aaron Rodgers favourite character is?
Finally, loogit this horseshit:
I believe we’ve reached peak OHMYGODWHATTHEFUCKISTHISBULLSHIT?!?!WHENDOESTHESEASONSTART?!?!

Thanks Beer Guy Rob for the Inglewood experience drop.
I’m about due for part two.
Survey says they are building the new Hollywood Park Casino before they even begin construction on Ramsopolis.
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
This crooked fucking city man!
I have a date on Friday night to see these two in SLO.
Leave it to us stoned Angelinos to abbreviate San Luis Obispo.
Fantastic seats in a fantastic venue.
I’ll be home in time to make Sunday Gravy.
I hope Friday is awesome! That should be fantastic!
I really really love these two.
Congrats on your Sharks, Kitty Cat!
Now go kick some Eastern Conference ass!
Here’s to hoping that the Bolts win so WCS’s daughter doesn’t come into the world seeing her only father typing obscenities to an internet antagonist in the final round!
Hasn’t he suffered enough!
Sleep well Blondie.
I’m rooting for your team from here on out.
Good night, buttercups! Time for me to slumber off to Stanley Cup dreams!
No problem – one should always references their sources & inspiration.
Up and out.

ergot |ˈərɡətˈərˌɡät|

Nice night.
I’m on board with the Super Bowl being just a flashmob order event. Like, all of a sudden at noon on the first Sunday in Feb, the 2016 Cardinals and Texans show up at any random shopping mall and commence playing their league championship game.

Alright, I’m off to bed. Thanks, btw, for the Seattle recs. Not sure the ladyfriend will want me to add breweries to our vacay, but I’ll do my best. Night, all.
Tell her she’s going or else you’re gonna withhold sex.
That always works.
Just drive there and tell her you got lost because of all the construction.
Those are great suggestions. Maybe stop at several and act like the prostate commercial dude who has to go to all the restrooms?
Eep. From CB:

Per the backup QB question on Super Bowls, Earl Morral?
Griese played, but Morral got them there. As hippo said the position of a backup is important for practice reps, running the scout team competently enough to test the defense, and another perspective on the side lines. That is why teams with a younger QB try to get an experienced starter for a backup. If you are a descent team the backup should be good enough to get you through 4 – 6 games at at least .500. The teams like the Broncos and Ravens had good enough defenses to have QBing that was no better than a backup.
Another one of those situations was Hostetler and Simms.
Even the 85 Bears needed Steve Fuller to not shit the bed while the punky QB was out for a spell.
Shit, I can’t believe I didn’t think of Hostetler.
Of course, Kurt Warner and Dreamboat were backups at the beginning of their first SB seasons too…
Steve “Motherfuckin'” Fuller. He ran like lighting. He passed like thunder. People forget that IMO.
Like the motherfucking bat signal brought you here

A good back helps team morale, too good of a backup divides the team, a shitty backup….. Dallas.
All backups: Cleveland. Or 2016 Denver.
/ducks
The bottom 14 starters are backup worthy.
Also; looking back on it; I personally don’t have a problem with Denver’s shitty QBing in 2016.
