Sounds like the Super Bowl expectation of every room being rented in NYC is falling rather short

Now we understand the NFL is never above telling everyone that everything is going smoothly and that everyone is more interested in their product that they were ten minutes ago. So why have only 27% of the available rooms in NYC been booked for Super Bowl weekend? Look, we already know the NFL is giving New Jersey the back of their hands, instead trying for the glitz and glamor of NYC.  Roger Goodell and his merry band of assholes are putting on very very little in the way of Super Bowl events in the Garden State and are giving NJ the short shrift, with practically everything in Gotham.

So, if people could give a shit and NOT rent rooms in NYC, where is all this Super Bowl excitement? We hear the NFL is want for volunteers as well to help shuttle people and do things for those big spenders coming from all points. That's not a very good formula for success at such an event. In fact at this point, after watching and listening to the NFL marketing over the supposed NJ/NY Super Bowl we'd invite anyone from New Jersey to NOT volunteer and let the New Yorkers step up to the plate. Screw the NFL. If they don't care about the very state their biggest game is being held, why would Garden Staters want to volunteer to help them marginalize New Jersey? Do it yourself NFL.

But don't count on those hotels in NYC to fill up JUST for the Super Bowl. 27% two months out? Yeah NFL, we're just not that excited about your game on either side of the Hudson. In fact, here's a troubling stat for the NFL:

Some New York City hotels have reportedly either slashed their rates or reduced the minimum number of nights for which guests will be required to pay.

If this lack of interest in the Super Bowl here continues on (despite what the marketing machine from the NFL will tell you) it couldn't happen to a nicer group, the NFL bigwigs and their acolytes.

Now all we need is a crippling snowstorm. And if you think Johnnys being petty about the snow, former Green Back Packer and NFL Hall of Famer Paul Hornung said he hoped on Feb. 2 in East Rutherford "It snows like a bitch."
