Thank you everyone – all 3624 of you so far. This is our 102nd post and hopefully the start to many more. I would like to thank all of the fans, supporters, family, God and baby Jesus.. Check that, I want to thank my Mom and Grandmother who are no longer with us but there spirit drives me each and every day.
This post has become an annual one. With just a few days remaining before the Super Bowl and all the pregame hype coming close to that annoying level, I like to look for the random stuff that you may or may not hear during the two weeks between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl itself. So, here’s the 2013 edition of Super Bowl Fun Facts. Hope you enjoy…
Ed Koch — one of the most popular mayors in New York City history — died early this morning 2/1/2013 at the age of 88. Koch died of congestive heart failure at about 2 a.m. (0700 GMT) at New York-Presbyterian hospital following a year of repeated hospitalizations, George Arzt, his spokesman, said.
Today was Super Bowl Media Day, but that didn’t stop Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco from making headlines with something he said yesterday. When asked about next year’s Super Bowl in New York, Flacco said the idea was “stupid.” That, of course, didn’t go over well with the NFL suits and Flacco was pretty much forced to apologize. Problem is, though, he’s right.
I don’t think there’s any question what city is the King of American Sports right now. The Giants are three months removed from their second World Series title in three seasons, and San Francisco has a chance to make it back-to-back championships with a 49ers victory next Sunday. That’s a lot of sick/vacation days that fans in the Bay Area need to use up solely for going to championship parades and a lot of money spent on the ridiculously overpriced t-shirts/hats/DVDs that they simply have to have.
It’s Not the Worst, and At Least It Makes Sense. It’s official. Come next season, the New Orleans Hornets will be known as the New Orleans Pelicans, and they’ll change their colors from teal and gold to navy and red.
Well, we all know that the HarBowl is going to be cool. And it’s going to be the overriding storyline for the next two weeks. It, obviously will be the first time that two brothers are coaching against each other in the Super Bowl. We’ve all been waiting for the Peyton vs. Eli Super Bowl. Still waiting. This John vs. Jim one snuck up on us. And it’s great.
I’m not sure the Conference Championship Games will be able to match the Divisional Playoffs in terms of excitement. Talk about those games last week! WOW!! Broncos-Ravens was an instant classic, then there was Colin Kaepernick proving why Jim Harbaugh made the right decision. And that was just Saturday! Then on Sunday wee got those two ridiculous comebacks in Atlanta
Women in all branches of the military soon will have unprecedented opportunities to serve on the front lines of the nation’s wars.
