You guys taking a WR in round one? or is Avant your #1?
Nope, R8der -- The SB in NYC (NJ, actually) was a 9/11 deal - and was an exception. The SB in Minneapolis was a business deal -- It was "payback" for screwing the tax payers for building the then-new stadium, which turned out to be a fiasco - with the roof falling in... Now the Vikings apparently want a new stadium... I liked it when they played outside in the COLD weather...
Anyway, those were exceptions -- Simply consider the time of year the SB is held... That essentially limits it to the southern-most teams - southern California, Arizona, Houston, New Orleans, the Florida teams - and maybe Hotlanta... Really, the best venues seem to be Miami, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Arizona, and southern California... I am a die-hard Chiefs fan, but to be serious: Who in their right mind wants to go to K.C. in late January / early February for a SB...?!! The BBQ gets old after a day or so -- I mean you can't eat it every day...!! lol!!
As for who we draft - or anyone drafts - it is like counting the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin... But that is the fun of it... I am inclined toward UPS thinking re Cameron Erving - but I have a suspicion they will go with WR or perhaps CB, if a decent one falls... A lot depends on who is on the boards...
You are quite right VA. The NY deal was because of 9/11. They have discussed having cold weather SB's in the future but that is just talk to satisfy the cold weather teams. It just doesn't make sense. The people that go to the Superbowl are usually corporate types. As they are the only ones that can afford those outrageous prices. And the NFL needs to keep them warm and happy. All the cold weather venues (other than the token NY/NJ Superbowl) were in stadiums with domes to keep the cold out. They wont likely have cold weather Superbowls in the future. Look at the track record for the games. Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami, New Orleans, Miami. Its all about the experience. And the $$$$$$.
Have a good one. Glad to see your crew posting.
