New York goes nutso over the NFL draft. I would think even without the home-teams involved -there would be more buzz in NY.

come to think of it, why do we care?

I don't care. I thought his blog post was funny.

So did I. I've never been to NYC, so I appreciated the perspective.

This guy played out the Super Bowl in Madden, and the Seahawks were on pace to win about 1,500 to 0.

OK, so he cheated and made all the Seahawks players 7' tall, 400lbs and maxed out, and all the Broncos players 5' tall, 160 lbs and inept. Some of the resulting gifs though are hilarious.

Another guy saying the same thing as the other guy in a slightly less obnoxious way, but not totally free of obnoxiousness:

Here's a pretty safe prediction: This will be the last Super Bowl they ever have in New York/New Jersey.

Super Bowl Week, so far, has not been poorly run. The weather is cooperating; it's even supposed to be sorta warm on Sunday. The Sheraton Times Square hotel has served as an efficient, well-located media hub; Radio Row is the madhouse it always is, but not in any particularly unusual way. Volunteers are helpful, transportation is reliable and all schedules are being vigorously adhered to. It's all working out. It's not Atlanta, it's not Jacksonville, it's not Detroit. Everything is going fine.

But this will be the last Super Bowl they ever have in New York/New Jersey for one reason: No one in New York seems to notice the Super Bowl is even happening.
He makes this claim, too:
It is driving everyone involved with the game crazy. This is the NFL! All that we survey is ours! There is an undeniable sense among those involved with Professional NFL -- from league execs to former players to, most of all, media -- that this New York Super Bowl is going terribly because, unlike every other city, New York is not bending over backwards to just hand its city over. By becoming just another thing in town -- by becoming just one more thing that changes your cab route or alters your train schedule -- the Super Bowl is somehow... diminished. And that is something that cannot stand.

LA is so bad of a sports town she moved them to a city that just lost a team 10 years before....and if they go back to LA it won't do them any good. LA is filled with transplants and bandwagon types, ZERO local fan support. But St. Louis is a baseball town and it won't skip a beat if the Rams move....nobody in STL cares either
