NFL: XLVII Super Bowl (2014) Selection

[BigSkyCy2]

Anyone watching this on NFL Network?

First ballot just failed, so they are going to the second ballot.

New York/New Jersey, South Florida and Tampa are the finalist.

 

[BigSkyCy2]

No one wins on the second ballot. South Florida has been eliminated.

It's down to New York/New Jersey and Tampa.

No one wants to chime in? I do like talking to myself.

No winner on the third vote. Down to the fourth and final vote. Simple majority gets it now.

Nope. Was hoping they would. Maybe they release it at the end.

They have to have a super majority on these votes?

 

[BigSkyCy2]

New York/New Jersey wins on the last vote.

New York/New Jersey wins on the last vote.

that was pretty much expected.

They have to have a super majority on these votes?

Round 1: Need 24 of 32
Round 2: Need 24 of 32; lowest vote-getter eliminated
Round 3: Need 24 of 32
Round 4: Need 17 of 32 (simple majority)

Interesting. I never knew how this worked.

Neither did I. Used a sling box to watch it live from work. Was kind of interesting.

It will be interesting to see what the Round 4 total was. I believe NFL Network said that two recent game sites got it by the minimum 17-15 margin.

Hilarious that its going to be freezing. I could care less watching on TV.

This is going to be a mess. None of the sponsors, fans, players or media want to be in New York in early February for this game. Feb 9 is one of the target dates. Normal high is 40, low 23. Record high 63, record low -15 (FEBRUARY CLIMATE SUMMARY - CENTRAL PARK NY). Most people heading to the Super Bowl treat this more as a vacation than football game.

A big winter storm could cripple travel leading up to the game or hammer the game itself. Good luck with this NFL. I agree with mj4cy. I'm going to enjoy watching from the comfort of my living room for free while those poor saps pay 4 figures to be cold and/or wet.

I'm now hoping for a gigantic, crippling Noreaster similar to what Washington, DC faced this year for the day of the Super Bowl in February 2014. Then Goodell can tell me whether having a Super Bowl in a city like New York is a good idea...

So the chances of a big snowstorm hitting on Super Bowl Sunday are slim. You'd be a sucker to take the 6:1 odds at Bodog regarding whether it will snow during the game. The over/under of 34.5 degrees at kickoff also looks a tad low.

(The odds on you having a serious gambling problem if you actually bet on this came in at 1:10)
