Better late than never...

The latest from Elitist Northerners that wish they could host the Super Bowl.

This column ran on Jan 26. Now Tony hits it right on the head when he says us Jacksonville-ians are going to rant and rave about his opinion. And why wouldn't we? Those of us that live in this fair city, I don't know... actually enjoy it? Just this past Saturday, I recall my friend Kristin finally admitting that "It's not such a bad place to live."

Tony writes for the Washington Post. His work speaks for itself. But is Washington going to get a Super Bowl Bid?? Not likely, Tony. I think if a town elects a mayor arrested for somking crack, the NFL might go in another direction... and this is the NFL we're talking about here. The league that suspended Jim Miller for an over-the-counter protien supplement, but lets Michael Irvin and Ray Lewis run amuck.

Jacksonville is the city I call home right now. It's the city where "I can wear flip flops on Christmas Day."* It's where friends of mine from Griffith, like Mike Smith, live. And where friends from college like Kirk live. We got the Super Bowl, and Tony's town didn't. Get over yourself.

... If we could only get attractive strippers now!!!!
