Ah, we are just a year away from hosting the Super Bowl here in Motown.
In all honesty, I think its pretty cool. The Super Bowl is a world-event now, being watched all over the planet and it truly showcases the host city.
With that said, the City of Detroit doesn't stand a chance.
We here in Motown are just going to have to face up to it.
Those of us fortunate to live in Southeastern Michigan have a f-in chip on our shoulder. A big chip.
Why?
Well for a half century we've been told what an arm pit, rundown, piece of shit our city is.
Well, you know what?
It is.
We firmly admit it.
But its OUR PIECE OF SHIT. If anyone wants to freakin' pile on it, it damn well should be us and not some namby pamby, cafe' latte sippin', pussy reporter from LA who will fly in here for one week next year and bitch about the 22 degree weather.
Note to the National and World media: When did the Super Bowl become about you? When did it become your mini vacation where you report on how much you like the local Hooters and if the strip clubs are first rate or not? Isn't it about the football game? Of course its not. Its about whether the dude from the Dallas Morning News, New York Post or ESPN has a hotel room close to the stadium where they can get hammered for a week, get a lap dance and report on the weather. Yep its all about the media and their Super Bowl vacation reports.
Media, here's .another note: Its cold in Detroit in early February. Sometimes it gets so cold your nose hairs freeze when you breath outside. I can't wait to hear you bitch about that. I hope it snows like hell and then the temp plummets to 2 below. We're used to it, but it'll be great to see some slappy from California standing in some ridiculous parka reporting on it.
Sure, we'll throw the "Motown Winter Blast", a giant block party to cover up for the fact that we're not New Orleans or Miami and maybe even some of you will use the snow slide or watch the sled dogs (sled dogs are native to Detroit you know). We'll even throw parties and other diversions from the weather to shut your asses up, but we know it won't work.
Media, one more thing. Kiss my ass now. I don't want to have to waste my time bitching about you a year from now.
Wouldn't it be fitting if the perennial losing Lions made the Super Bowl in their home city? It won't happen. But it might be the only thing to keep them from bashing Detroit and the weather.
As for the strip clubs? Don't stay in Detroit. Go over the bridge or tunnel to Windsor and see the real ballet. You probably won't bitch about that.
My prediction for the upcoming Super Bowl....Patriots 27 Eagles 24.
