I'm am a huge, long time football fan, and I am extremely excited to hear about the news today.
I love the intensity of the game, the pure adrenaline rush and the complete love for the players, and it's all coming here to us. Or, should I say N.J.
For everyone outside of NY and N.J they always put us together. We are two separate states that is always having to share, it would be nice to have something of our own (like a football stadium).
And that's exactly what the Mayor of East N.J feels about this whole 2014 Super Bowl stuff.
East Rutherford mayor James Cassella is not at all that excited. He's fully aware that although the Super Bowl XLVIII will be in N.J in 2014, he knows everything else is going across the river to NYC.
“The NFL would prefer to make this all about New York City”, he told the post. “I'm sure the mayor of New york will be there. I'm sure he'll have no problem going to the game. But I suspect I will be sitting in my recliner watching at home”.
East Rutherford doesn't even get the respect in it's own state. When the Giant's won the Super Bowl two years ago, Cassella wasn't even invited to the celebration. “It bothers me, but I'm not bitter”, he said. “Mostly I'm just immune to it now”.
The Governor of N.J Chris Christie, who celebrated the Super Bowl selection yesterday by giving high fives to Jets center Nick Mangold and Giants guard Chris Snee, said the town will finally get it's due.
“When the game comes on they are going to say live from East Rutherford New Jersey”, Christie said. “The eyes of the entire world will be on New Jersey”.
Side Note* It would be extra nice to actually see one of our teams playing in the 2014 Super Bowl... Just a thought.
