The Saints are coming!!!


Shit, I had that title planned as my lead up post to the SuperBowl over 4 weeks ago, and now it's redundant.
This weekend is important for more than just the start of the Super 14, for Instance it is also the 20 year anniversary of the people of the South Island of New Zealand discovering fire. But more importantly it is the SuperBowl. This event is the basis that all sporting finals shout aspire to

The game takes place in Miami, Florida, regardless of the fact that neither competing team is from Florida. The reason for this is that the decision on where to host the most important domestic fixture is made based on venue compatibility. Weather being a big factor, as well as logistics and the ability to accommodate the enormity of the event. I mean, without that level of planning, you may have a final being played somewhere where the weather is so SHIT!! that the players themselves can't see 3 feet in front of them. I mean, that'd be pretty fucking embarrassing wouldn't it.

Cheerleaders, an underrated, yet hugely important part of the over all atmosphere of the game, take this for example:

Six members of the elite Philadelphia Eagles CheerleadingHollywood Beach, Florida, for "Beauties on the Beach" - an NFL-sponsored cheerleader challenge taking place Saturday, February 3, at 2 p.m. ... The Eagles cheerleaders... will compete against cheerleaders from the Houston Texans, WashingtonNew Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, MiamiBuffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars in the two-hour challenge. squad are heading down to Redskins, Dolphins,

What do men love? Sports, beer and breasts (and the occasional quilt making, but that falls outside of the scope of this conversation). Is it so inconceivable to combine them in one beautiful event. The only reason this has not happened in the Super 14 is because a South African team has not hosted a Final (Woe is me, i know.) But hear this, SuperBowl in Florida = Super14 Final in Durban. And before you ask, I don't have to ask myself how ridiculous that sounds, because if I let a little thing like facts get in the way of me talking, I'd never say a word.
