DC appears unlikely to get 2008 Super Bowl.

Hold the presses: NFL sources report that DC and NY appear unlikely to be awarded the 2008 Super Bowl, even though the Commmisioner, Paul Tagliabue, has been pushing those cities since 9-11. As though either would be seriously considered: An outdoor football game at the end of January? And at night, for TV ratings? At the beginning of the game, it'd be below 20, and by the end of the game, down to 10 or less. (And that's at the DC stadium, the one that's farther south.) That's certainly a game I'd like to see, sitting in a metal seat, exposed to the wind.

"Unlikely" indeed. It'll never happen, nor should it.
