I AM CORNHOLIO!

Right after Chad Lewis caught that touchdown pass with about four minutes to go, the touchdown that cemented the victory and ensured the Philadelphia Eagles would be in the Super Bowl, some guy in the stands joyfully held up a sign that said, "We're Going To Jacksonville."
And I thought: What on earth is second prize? You have to build there?
How did Jacksonville get the Super Bowl? What, Tuscaloosa was booked?
If going to Jacksonville for a week is the reward New England and Philadelphia get for being the best teams in the NFL this year, Peyton Manning ought to be happy he didn't get there. Imagine how Manning would have felt, having to play all year in Indianapolis, and then landing in Jacksonville? Which gods would he have offended to get that killer quinella?
The NFL must see itself as handing out some sort of charity when it awards the Super Bowl to any place other than New Orleans, Miami and Southern California. Because, believe me, nobody wants the game to be anywhere but there. So when the NFL insists on putting it in outposts like Detroit, Houston or Minneapolis, people ask, "Are you guys nuts?" But when you pick Jacksonville, people are agape and say, "Who in Jacksonville has a photo of Tagliabue with a goat?"

I went to Highlands Jr. High. I believe ya'll were our major rivals at the time......
I AM CORNHOLIO!
Skynyrd's hometown, man.
Jefferson Davis Jr. Hi.
295 to Old St. Augustine south, right on Hood, straight till you drive into the river ;o)
And just when did that numbskull figure that J'ville EARNED it's bid for the Superbowl from the NFL?
Gee. 8<)
Do ya believe he actually thinks that they changed the city (from ??? to J'ville?) on some unknown day in November (after the election) based on Carl Rowe's call from the White House?

Well seeing as I look like a redneck, and bring my own gun, I pretty much go where I want with impunity ;o)
As well as patrons!
And they will have every right to whine.
"Jacksonville is a dirty, rotten city!"
No...wait...
That's Baltimore.
...Whitey's Fish Camp? Be sure to bring your gun along. It's the last redneck outpost on Fleming Island. Scary place.
Give me a break.
I think your panties may be too tight!
C'mon Major! Just having some local banter fun. My panties are perfectly well-adjusted, I assure you.
They're friggin' sportswriters. If they can't handle spending a week in a snowy part of the country, then perhaps they should try another profession.
I've never found Kornheiser's "whiny Jewish boy" schtick to be all that funny. And the fact that he's a liberal pantywaist doesn't help that much either. If the Redskins ever get good again he'll be just about intolerable.
The blue zone yankee is not comfortable traveling in the Red Zone provences.
He fears meeting his betters in the flesh.
Compost compost
I grew up in Jax and hope to retire there
I went to Ribault High, you?.......
Terry Parker for me.
Clark's Fish Camp has the best Fried fish. So light.
Ditto that thought!
