One day left. The verdict is in. The North Texas Super Bowl is a disaster. Or so say the media members.
What's odd is that some of the criticism is marked for people living in Dallas-Fort Worth. As if A) we have control over meteorlogical events; B) as if we planned this shindig; and C) as if we get snow and ice all the time.
Listen here, assholes:
1. Getting an inch of ice, day after day of 15-degree weather and then SIX inches of snow NEVER, EVER, EVER happens. Just hasn't. Not in my 30 years and I very much doubt in the 30 years before that. It's shitty luck.
2. For you New Yorkers or New Englanders, you're right. We freak out at ice and snow. We also know that people from your part of the country get this four three or four months a year. WE GET IT! However, there's a reason we live in Texas and not New York or Boston or Chicago. Because we don't like ice, sleet, snow and below-freezing temperatures. We don't like it. We don't know how to drive in it. Our governments aren't prepared for it. We freak out about it.
I invite all of you back in August after the 20th straight day of 110-degree temperatures and then you can tell us how weather works.
3. None of this is our fault. For every member of the Super Bowl Committee there are a million people in this area that just have normal jobs making normal pay. We could give a shit about the Super Bowl outside of the restaurant owners and hoteliers that are striking out.
Get the fuck over it.

Whilst Peter King is having a hard time getting his fucking Starbucks and other media members can't get to the strip club, six people were injured at the stadium from falling ice. Perspective, assholes.
