Yah-ta-ta yah-ta-ta TALK TALK TALK:
Tomorrow, someone or some place will be changed forever. Such is the transformative power of the Super Bowl.
It changes players, making legends of some and punch lines of others. It turns coaches into geniuses or fools. It can turn a city's fortunes around.
Yeah.
Ask Mitt Romney. Despite his biggest city (or rather, his biggest metropolitan area) having won TWO Super Bores and a World Series in the last three years he was close to being fitted for a straitjacket when P&G took Gillette away. Don't mention Bank of America either.
As for US in Philly, our local KNIGHTRIDDER NEWS MONOPOLY has spent so much time chanting
I-G-G-L-E-S -- IGGLES!!!!! it's happily ignored the likelihood of a transit strike next month --
possibly a long and painful one given our transit authority's budget problems. Meantime we're waiting for our BELOVED MAYOR to be INDICTED for his slow-cooking CORRUPTION. Yes, THE SUPER BORE REALLY CAN TURN A CITY'S FORTUNES AROUND.
Blah-blah-blah-blah MOON, blah-blah-blah-blah STAR....
