Thursday Pictures

Here are a few of the pictures I took on Thursday. I was hoping to get some better ones of Aaron Rodgers but that didn't end up happening. The producers of Best Damn Sports Show Period saw the Packer shirt I was wearing and grabbed me and another Packer fan and pulled us on stage to the stand in the front row of the crowd to be the first people to greet him when he walked in. I got a few seconds of face time on the show cheering and screaming! The only new name for the Friday show I haven't seen down there yet is Joe Montana which is awesome. I'm sure there will be others though!

Michael Strahan drinking water... my buddy offered him a beer when we first got there and he said "No thanks, I'm a water guy today."

Super Bowl Week - Monday

I know a guy who likes haiku... he should get this shirt.




Super Bowl Week!

This is the first time I've ever been in the city where the Super Bowl was taking place. I can only assume it will be similar to when the MLB All-Star Game was in Milwaukee, only without that pesky tie.

Little storefronts with banners reading "OFFICIAL SUPER BOWL MERCHANDISE" have popped up everywhere, I think retail vacancies in Tampa are down to 0.01% this week.

I'll try to bring the camera around where I head off to this week. Both teams arrive in Tampa this afternoon and their fans will be sure to follow. We'll be certain to see some drunken out-of-towners wandering around!

UPDATE: I've already seen the Goodyear blimp floating/flying/whatever a blimp does around town this morning. If he gets close enough I'll try to snag a decent picture.
