Are You Ready For Some Football??!!

To answer the question, no not really. Yeah me and Skittles getting the food ready, the TV on lock, and prime sofa seating established, but not to see Arizona and Pittsburgh battle (yawn). No it's all about the Ads, the preshow concert with the diva Jennifer Hudson back with the National Anthem (Be prepared to go to church!), halftime not so much (The Boss ain't that Diva!), and the after game shows on NBC (That preview of the office with the cat is hilarious!). But the economy has taken the bite out of the games this year. The famed Playboy, Sports Illustrated, and other big named Super Bowl parties of the past didn't happen this year due to the ecnomy. Also more people have flown in commerical rather than by private jet like years past and spending is down 30%. When The Ville hosted the game in 2005, parties were everywhere and once $2 hamburgers were $20, but the atomshpere was electric (It's electric!...I had to!). So I wonder how things down south in Tampa are and will Miami next year be affected? Well we will see like my mom would say "Lord's willing"!

No Super Bowl Club: Jacksonville Jaguars!

I was searching for some information for my last post and came across this shocking New York Times article. It states:

It’s pro football’s lonely list: the teams that have never even been to a Super Bowl. But now that the Arizona Cardinals are finally there, maybe there’s hope for the Forlorn Five — Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Jacksonville and New Orleans.

I swear I thought the list of teams who never got to the game was longer. Damn Jacksonville! I know we are new and compared to others, but Carolina was born with us and made it. And to make it worse, we went to the AFC Championship game twice and hosted once and still couldn't pull it off. But no matter the fuckary of this season, I am still a Jag to the end and know we will turn in our membership to the No super bowl club soon. Read the entire article here.

About Damn Time: Hall of Famer Bob Hayes!

After 29 years and a failed attempt during Super Bowl XXIX here in his hometown of The Ville, Bob "Bullet" Hayes is now Pro Football Hall of Famer. For those who know him, he was an Olympic gold medalist in track and played for the Dallas Cowboys. His speed caused NFL defenses to step their game up to zone defense. He is the only man to have both an Olympic gold medal and a super Bowl ring. But to me he deserve it because of hi service to the Jacksonville community with his Bob Hayes Invitational. For 39 years schools from around the southeast come to compete in track and field competition and a highlight for The Ville and all those talented enough to compete. Bob Hayes died in 2002, but his spirit lives in the countless students in the track and lightening fast wide receivers on the field. Here is the TU(Times Union) Story on the vote:

Twenty-nine years after he first became eligible, Jacksonville native Bob Hayes was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday.

Hayes was nominated for the second time in five years by the senior committee and he needed at least 36 of the 44 board members to vote in his favor.

The exact number of votes he got was not announced.

The case for Hayes was that he changed the game with his speed that forced defenses to change to zone defenses.

But he was rejected just five years ago, the first time he was a finalist. The fact he had only 371 catches and didn’t have a signature game in the championship games he played in were hurdles he had to overcome.

Hayes is the only man to win an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring.

He died in 2002.

Joining Hayes in the Hall will be Bruce Smith, Rod Woodson, Randall McDaniel, Derrick Thomas and Buffalo Bills founder and owner Ralph Wilson.
