Good morning all. Another nice day is store for here. Somehow I don't get it. The Super Bowl is set to be played in New Jersey this Sunday, right across from New York City. Not a bad spot to play, but In February????? 
Not only that, but seats are selling for in the thousands, I heard some up to $50,000, for what, to sit in a frozen seat to watch a bunch of millionaires slipping and sliding in the snow? I saw pictures of them sweeping snow off the seats and using shovels and tractors to clear the snow off of the field, but there's not much they can do about the freezing cold.
On the other hand, the Phoenix Open golf tournament starts today with the final play on Sunday as well, and there's pictures in today's paper showing men mowing the grass and getting things ready for the start of play. There are thousands of folding chairs around, none of which has to be swept of anything but a bit of dust.
Oh, and admission is $30, first responders and military and one guest get in for free.
'nuff said, except that you must have to like football or golf an awful lot to go to either event at any price....
