Bears Owner Michael McCaskey Expects New Orleans To Be “A Real Strong Competitor” To Host Super Bowl in 2013
Four years removed from the devastation that was Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is thinking Super Bowl. Contingent on the resolution of a pending long-term lease agreement between the Superdome and the state of Louisiana, the once-ravaged city could host the big game in 2013.
Bears owner/chairman Michael McCaskey all but gave a ringing endorsement for the city of boobs-for-beads, and I’m sure it had nothing to do with fonder memories of yesteryear.
“Oh, most certainly we would (like to return to the Superdome),” said McCaskey, who stopped short of saying New Orleans would be at the “forefront” of the committee’s list of finalists, but he said: “I expect them to be a real strong competitor.”
By the way, aside from being quite possibly the cheapest fucking owner in the NFL, McCaskey is also chairman of the NFL’s Super Bowl advisory committee. So his opinion, you know, counts a little.
The Super Bowl will be awarded to one fine city the weekend of May 18-20 during the next set of NFL meetings. The deadline to submit a bid is April 1, so Barstow, California — you better get on it.
