O.J. LewisWelcome to East Rutherford, 2014

The fact of the matter is, all of those brain trusts who believe a “cold weather” Super Bowl is a bad idea, fall just short of saying what they really mean; that what they really want is a tropical or desert heat vacation in February. Well, keep faith brethren.
First off, East Rutherford is hardly Anchorage. With an average February high temperature of a balmy 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s a full 14 degrees warmer than that of Anchorage (things are looking up!). In addition, the average precipitation in beautiful East Rutherford is less than 3 inches for the month of February (wow, better get out the shovels huh?).
But you say you can’t play golf? I’m sure some savvy golf course owner will open his course to you battle tested workaholics. And on this course you will probably receive luxuries such as heated tee boxes in addition to hot chocolate/coffee carts speckling the landscape like wagons across the Great Plains. All of this effort will be put forth in order to make you whining outdoor enthusiasts remain tolerable throughout your visit.
As a New Yorker, the only bad news that I can derive from this decision is that the NFL owners have pretty much determined that I won’t see my beloved Jets in the Super Bowl in 2014. However, I can easily come to terms with it by knowing the Giants won’t be there either. I guess more unlikely things have happened, but this curse is pretty strong.
Well, I hope I didn’t embarrass any high ranking “insiders” or “experts” but you guys have never been more transparent.
I can’t wait to see all you grizzled veterans on media row, bundled up like you just discovered the North Pole. As for me, I’ll be the guy just happy to be there.
