Post Super Bowl Fever

Its official, the favorite son of Drew, Ms won it all plus a shiny new red Cadillac. Its amazing to think that the MVP of the Super Bowl, the most profitable and expensive sporting event in the world only receives a Cadillac for being the MVP. Lets put this into perspective. A television advertisement cost approx. 2.3 to 2.5 million dollars for thirty seconds. A ticket cost a couple of thousand dollars, hotel, car rentals, and private parties, add up to thousands of dollars. I think it is wonderful that people in our country can work hard, save and spend their money as they please, what I do have a problem with is a player who has a contract worth more than $100 million dollars, including endorsements, only receives a Cadillac. I believe the NFL needs to rethink this, Super Bowl I, give a Cadillac, Super Bowl II, give a Cadillac, men in those days could only dream of a Caddy. Now any moron with good credit can get a Caddy. The NFL should have given Payton a small island in the Caribbean or in the South Pacific or even better they should have given him a trip to fly into space. Even better they should have given him the opportunity to be President of the United States for a day.

I am going to regret the day when the only reason players play in the NFL is for the glory of the Super Bowl hype and pregame and post game festivities and not the actually game. Would the players play as hard if the game was held at a local high school stadium with only a handful of fans? Would they lay it all on the line? I hope the answer is yes. I am afraid that one day the answer will be no.
