What's that Super smell? It's Jacksonville

NFL out of its mind putting title game in this stinking city

<snip>

"Right after Chad Lewis caught that touchdown pass with about four minutes to go, the touchdown that cemented the victory and ensured the Philadelphia Eagles would be in the Super Bowl, some guy in the stands joyfully held up a sign that said, "We're Going To Jacksonville."

And I thought: What on earth is second prize? You have to build there?

How did Jacksonville get the Super Bowl? What, Tuscaloosa was booked?

If going to Jacksonville for a week is the reward New England and Philadelphia get for being the best teams in the NFL this year, Peyton Manning ought to be happy he didn't get there. Imagine how Manning would have felt, having to play all year in Indianapolis, and then landing in Jacksonville? Which gods would he have offended to get that killer quinella?

The NFL must see itself as handing out some sort of charity when it awards the Super Bowl to any place other than New Orleans, Miami and Southern California. Because, believe me, nobody wants the game to be anywhere but there. So when the NFL insists on putting it in outposts like Detroit, Houston or Minneapolis, people ask, "Are you guys nuts?" But when you pick Jacksonville, people are agape and say, "Who in Jacksonville has a photo of Tagliabue with a goat?"

1. I Like Jacksonville...

I've been there several times for Gator Bowls. I guess my sinuses have been clogged when I've been there, as I didn't notice a smell. IHOP, Dairy Queen, Applebees, Waffle House...love 'em all. Maybe that's the attraction for me. Surprised he (TK) didn't crack on the breakfast bar at Shoney's. All of that aside, I still miss Kornheiser's daily radio show on ESPN. Colin Cowherd is a very poor substitute.

3. I HATE Jax
