Why haven’t we outsourced the Super Bowl to India yet?

I’ve always wanted the Super Bowl to start at midnight the day before I have to work.

Actually, they could start it at around 11PM London time, which won’t bother anyone attending it, since Londoners don’t give a shit about it to begin with, and all the Americans there will still be on USA time. That would translate to the same old start time for the rest of us.

As an English person and therefore speaking for the entire nation, don’t just give us a Superbowl. Give us a franchise as well!! We’ll even take the Jags or something….

Since I’ll never be able to go anyway (barring a miracle bag of Enchiladitos) I’m surprised Goodell hasn’t tried to sneak Toronto in there as a possibility.

As for London, freakish start time aside–it’s not like a majority of Americans can even get seats to the damn game unless they’re willing to sell a child to slavers. London? Sure. Calcutta? Why not? Helsinki? Give it a whirl. Butte, Montana? Go for it.

@ TurleyGirlie

New Orleans has proven itself to be a great city for big time sporting events, no doubt. The reason I say N.O. is out of the running for the SB is that, right now, the rich, powerful and glamorous “fans” (NFL’s favorite demographic) are afraid of going to New Orleans- unless it’s for a shameless publicity stunt to make them appear charitable.

next thing we know, jonas brothers will be doing half time and tackling to hard will be a 5 yard penalty

@ Gino – They should include San Antonio in the rotation. One, it’s a nice city. Two, warm weather. And three, it’ll be like the NFL is smacking Jerry Jones in the face with their penis by having it in his back yard every so often, and he’s never in it.

And, pray tell Gino, why are we leaving NO out?

It’s a GREAT city for a SuperBowl…other than the Dome aspect.

This is actually a brilliant idea. For no other reason than getting to read the Simmons columns, full of whining about hard it is to get around to all the events and how it’s cold. And there’s the odd chance a hooligan hits him in the face with a pint glass when he starts talking about Tottenham.
