Based on what Jim says, I'll be cringing when they have the Super Bowl in 2014 at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. Fortunately, I live 45 minutes away but if just your ordinary game days are any indication, oh my god! My son and I went to the last Jets regular season game. Parking was a joke. When the SB comes, Route 3 and Rutherford and environs will be one place to avoid.

Oh don't worry - if there's jacked-up road conditions and you live in an area which is contains an immediate conduit to the stadium and other official venues, hotels, etc, you will see the fullest of attentions paid to your roads.

But if not, hey...better start looking for a good price on some sand and some dump trucks so you can DIY, that's the best advice I can offer.

The ad with Kenny G would have been better if he had been a prisoner, sans saxophone. I hit the mute as soon as one character announced to play his "music."

As for the pop acts, I headed to the basement as soon as the undercooked peas took the stage.

The 400 seats that went unoccupied due to safety concerns were temporary bleachers installed by Jerry Jones to ensure that Cowboys Stadium would set the record for the largest crowd in Super Bowl history. As it turned out, he was about 600 butts short. What an ego. What a jerk. I don't know how anyone can root for that team with such a world class dickhead in charge.

He can make it tough, but some of us are Cowboys fans since long before Jerry Jones bought the team and summarily fired Tom Landry and Tex Schramm. And we remain Cowboys fans despite Jones' overwhelming presence.

That said, if you can manage to take his ego out of the equation, he's actually not a bad owner. He's a terrible GM though.

Screw Jerry Jones.

Here's some football Texas can be proud of, in my humble opinion.

Well, he may indeed be a big ego and a jerk. But considering Texas's reputation for thinking big, I find it easy to imagine any Texas owner wanting to break the record for Super Bowl attendance. I don't think that you can fault Jones for that.

[papsrus]

He could have vacated his own suite and arranged for NFL big wigs to vacate their suites so those displaced fans could use them. Turns out the NFL knew the seats may not be safe. So screw them, too.

He had the power to at least try to make it right for those fans and he didn't. You can fault him for that.

Will we still be using Roman numerals when we get to Super Bowl L?

Why not? Especially with 59 not being that far away. What city gets LIX? Maybe Charlie Sheen's porn "star" can be involved in the ceremonies.

I can't wait for Superbowl C.
