Yeah, I've got no problem with the guy getting a trip to the Super Bowl. Better him than the attractive young Hollywood woman who likes the Patriots and Tom Brady "because she likes the logo". Oh, wait. She got a trip, too. She is the NFL's preferred fan.

With regard to the guy (and the two kids), I'm not a fan of the fact that their entries weren't really based on a love of football, but were more of a pity ploy. The contest was supposed to be about why you love football.

But whatever. I wouldn't go to this Super Bowl if they paid me.

Well, maybe I'd go if they paid me. But I'd bring a book.
