Miami Superbowl? Yawning, already ... by gimleteye


I'm sure, in ancient Rome, too, there were grouches like me who wouldn't go near the Colosseum. Why pay $2000-- reported by The Miami Herald to be the cheapest price for remaining Superbowl tickets next week-- to watch a sport whose main contribution this season has been to evince admission that its gladiators suffer extraordinarily high rates of brain damage from repetitive concussions? You gather I'm not a football fan. It wasn't always true. So to visitors coming to Miami, a message: Yes! Pour your free cash into our hotels and bars and restaurants and "Joe Robbie Park/ Pro Player Stadium/Landshark Stadium/Dolphin Stadium/Marlins Stadium/Sun Life Stadium": welcome to the Magic City that excels in the trick of turning equity into debt. Pay our bed taxes with, your excess earnings yearning to be free: we'll promise to pay it back with interest ... next time.

USA vs USA - we're gonna bash our heads in, cause we ain't got nothin' in them.

You should really just move out of South Florida since you obviously hate is so much. It must be terrible to live life with such little joy.
