He did ask to be traded back in June, but they talked him down from it.

NFL announces as of now they have no backup plans for next year's Super Bowl and already ruled out moving the game to a different location.
The only possible options were to play the game a day early on Saturday or to delay it by a few days if there was going to be a bad snow storm on Super Bowl Sunday. |

The problem is you don't want the weather determining who is the World Champion moreso than the play on the field, but if you didn't want this issue to come up - DON'T BOOK THE SUPER BOWL IN FUCKING NEW YORK!!!

Either way, it will be a nice change of pace. I like it being in new sites or stadiums they haven't been in in awhile. I'm sick of the Super Bowl being in Florida all the damn time.
Think they will ever have it in the Rose Bowl again? |

Could make the same claim about the conference championships since those determine who makes it to the SB. Only difference is people almost never complain about those being outdoors or the weather being a factor like they do with the SB.

Because the conference championship games' location is based on seeding, not a random "neutral" site that is chosen..

I don't think the NFL is worried about playing the game in snow as much as they're worried about the kind of snow storm that would interfere with logistics and transportation like the one this past weekend. In fact, they're probably banking on some snow to add a new gimmick and level of intrigue to the Super Bowl because they're trying to be too clever for their own good.
Either way it's stupid and kind of fucks the fans that bought tickets and booked hotels for that particular weekend who might not be able to see the game if they delay it by a few days. They better be prepared to hand out refunds too if they pull some bullshit like that. |

How about for a halftime show, they just have some kickass singers sing and cut out all the lasers, lights, pyro, etc.? Have them do it from the pressbox ala Wrigley if they have too.

This Percy Harvin thing is getting pretty interesting. The Bengals are sitting on an extra 2nd round pick from the Carson Palmer debacle. If they acquired Harvin, they would be scary as all fuck. Harvin and AJ Green both on the field would create a black hole in the universe.

Narc that could really be said of any team with good skilled players.. If the Pats get him and keep Welker, they could have Harvin, Welker, Gronk, and Hernadez, with another WR or a RB..
If the Saints get him (won't happen) you'd get Harvin, Colston, Moore, Graham, and Sproles.. ridiculous |

Yeah. The Bengals stick out to me because they have tons of cap space and they are sitting on an extra second round pick. They are also maybe one or two good players away from making a deep run in the playoffs.

Maybe the Broncos can get him and take a shot down the field instead of taking a knee with 30 seconds left in a playoff game.

I don't see Harvin wanting to go to the Bengals though. It's like going from one marginal playoff team to another and since he's in the last year of his contract, any team that trades for him is going to want to make sure he is willing to sign a long term deal because of what they'll be required to give up.
I see the Pats packaging Welker and a couple of picks for him. |

All but guarantee whenever they build that new stadium in downtown L.A. that will get added to the regular rotation and replace Arizona since Arizona seemed to have replaced San Diego

There's also nothing to do anywhere near the stadium in Arizona. The new L.A. stadium will be downtown.

All the people who are yelling because holding the super bowl outdoors in the winter takes away the neutral site concept should realize that the NFL has been playing with fire for most of the super bowls given its a chance a team could play on their own home field at some point. How unfair to the other team would that be? It'd be hilarious, I suppose..if the super bowl next year is jets/giants

This is why the NFL loves NOLA cause the Dome is downtown and with in walking distance to the french quarter, the marigny, the cbd, warehouse district, lower garden district, etc so it's pretty much a 20 minute walk from hundreds of hotels and thousands or restaurants, bars, and other touristy attractions like the french market, river front, aquarium, casinos, convention center, arena, etc..

I heard the most wonderful news on the 680 the Fan ATLANTA today. The 'Aints are $20 million over the salary cap and will probably have to cut Vilma, Smith and Pierre Thomas among others and that's even if Brees and others restructure.
And of course there is no 2nd round draft pick either. Ouch! That defense is going to be so bad, it will be ranked 33rd in the NFL! I don't care what you have to say to the contrary Kris P because it will just be the delusion talking. Get your paper bag ready son!

On the point of PT, Vilma, and Smith, they could all go IMO..
PT is the fucking man and I absolutely love him but I feel that Sproles, Ingram, Ivory, and Cadet could all be just as successful without him.. We would miss him on early downs cause of the screen or run threat but it's not like our run game has been great anyway.. Vilma, who I also love, fizzled when the Jets switched from a 4-3 to the 3-4, which ultimately was the reason they traded him to us.. Saints are now switching to the 3-4.. I realize he is now playing OLB so it might be different, but I guess we will see.. Smith was a beast early on but has struggled getting to the QB.. He is good a stopping the run but again, I dunno how he would do in the 3-4.. |
