The selection of the 2015 Super Bowl isn’t getting quite the attention that the selection of the 2014 game received last year.
In fact, we forgot the NFL owners were meeting today in Houston until we did our work for this morning’s one-liners.
Here’s what you need to know: The game should be awarded sometime this afternoon. It will be played in warm weather, and there are only two candidates up for the gig: Tampa and Arizona.
Both cities have hosted Super Bowls recently. Both cities are confident they will win. Tampa Bay’s host committee paid for billboards touting Tampa’s mild February weather for owners to see on their way in from the Houston airport.
I’d roll with Tampa for completely selfish reasons: It’s set up better for the media. Arizona is very spread out.
Really, I’ll just be happy if I’m still employed covering football in 2015.
