The Super Bowl does not feel real

Jerry Jones is ready
According to the clock on The Dallas Morning News' new website that's been taking up space for the last year, the Super Bowl is 16 days and two hours away.

Seems a decade ago that we learned that JerryWorld was awarded the Super Bowl. Excitement was high. It's waned and now it doesn't feel real.

More importantly, it doesn't feel that anyone's ready. Except this strip club. I've seen signage and other flair around town.

However, didn't we hear about all the great stuff that was going to be built for the Super Bowl, like a light-rail line to Arlington? Hotels, restaurants and shit?

Where's all this awesome stuff?

Instead, we've got some new roads around the Turd on the Turnpike. That's about it.

It seems so unreal and we in Dallas and Fort Worth seem very unprepared.
