Super Bowl XLVIII...The Home Team Wins!!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">We are but a mere five days away from Super Bowl XLVIII, so I thought that maybe, as I did last year, solicit unsolicited invites to the Super Bowl parties of others who would have never invited me in the first place…solicited, unsolicited, or otherwise.<br /><br />See?  Last year when I pleaded for invitations to Super Bowl parties, I actually received a handful of invites, accepted one, and actually showed up to said event.<br /><br />Sure, it was somewhat surreal and odd at the party when I showed up, but I had a good time, because I got to hang out with a friend whom I had<br />n’t seen in years.<br /><br />I thought I would do the same thing this Super Bowl season, and maybe have two fun, spontaneous Super Bowls in a row…so, I posted this last night upon my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mattmaniws" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Facebook Page</span></a>…<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCH-0A3f_6kxDP7I68EqL1hxOce1u_RU3jjXyEQTFthpMMqUR10Jd-K5Zo4Y6vo1mYgHxzGLPcUrhYVGcJ08uizTG1VuHxmp4TvFhFle6hcuO9gMsQ1hIqHELvVzrKZne-QMIkUH1oXEbz/s1600/Super+Bowl+Party+Ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCH-0A3f_6kxDP7I68EqL1hxOce1u_RU3jjXyEQTFthpMMqUR10Jd-K5Zo4Y6vo1mYgHxzGLPcUrhYVGcJ08uizTG1VuHxmp4TvFhFle6hcuO9gMsQ1hIqHELvVzrKZne-QMIkUH1oXEbz/s1600/Super+Bowl+Party+Ideas.jpg" width="381" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Guess what?  Not a single invite, well…not a serious one.  Oh sure…<br /><br />My friend, the wonderfully sarcastic and avid IWS Radio listener Tiffany, told me to come on down for her Super Bowl party, but of course, she only did that because she lives in Florida, and knew that she was safe from me actually showing up.<br /><br />And then my nearly life-long buddy and IWS’ own Nurse Sherri, suggested that I party with our mutual Japanese friend, Saynora Tokahama or whatever.  The dude is pretty cool, but he lives in Japan.<br /><br />Even if I could party and watch the game with him, as he does live in Japan, I’d be watching the Super Bowl on a Monday, and something about that just doesn’t sit well with me, and feels, well…downright un-American.<br /><br />Well anyway, the bottom lie is, thus far I have not been on the receiving end of any party invites, so I guess I’ll have to watch the game here at home with Schmoop.  And, hey…don’t get me wrong!!<br /><br />I love hanging with Schmoop Super Bowl night or any time of year, but getting an acceptance of my unsolicited invite to a Super Bowl would make me happy…would make me chuckle, and most importantly, would provide me with awesome blog fodder.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYFTY3xhgOtkscGSAi7kOLb_xFzpAN1dJH3XGyGpCIQfIlLyqxVHTzV5D8zuWq1veooojNaNWITq9sq5Tb4rAYkol1JCXtJ6OCdMXsrzsPWut5r4WGahjO42Q4inU1amygxw0FbFMwv_t/s1600/Dried+Beef+Cream+Cheese+Roll+Ups.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYFTY3xhgOtkscGSAi7kOLb_xFzpAN1dJH3XGyGpCIQfIlLyqxVHTzV5D8zuWq1veooojNaNWITq9sq5Tb4rAYkol1JCXtJ6OCdMXsrzsPWut5r4WGahjO42Q4inU1amygxw0FbFMwv_t/s1600/Dried+Beef+Cream+Cheese+Roll+Ups.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />However, Schmoop and I will have a wonderful time this Super Bowl Sunday.<br /><br />If we have the funds, we’ll order a pizza.  If not, we’ll make one ourselves.  We can make dried beef cream cheese roll-ups, and have pickles, cheese and crackers, olives annnnnnnnnnd, baked pepperoni.  Mangia!<br /><br />And the best thing about staying home and watching the Super Bowl with Schmoop?<br /><br />Probably as early as the end of the first quarter, we will turn off the game, crank up some tunes, drink beer, eat snacks, and goof on people and each other.<br /><br />And really?  For most Americans, that is what Super Bowl Sunday is all about, having parties which surround a person with laughter and good friends.  The Super Bowl has become much more than a mere NFL Championship football game.<br /><br />The Super Bowl has become the winter thaw.  A day when for a few hours, the soul-sucking, drab, monochromatic winter becomes a festival of watercolors in the shades of flashy uniforms, delicious junk food, funny commercials, too much beer, and the warmth of close friends.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiElmfTAO39qpdJ2imz_G2OAagdy1x0YPOXTTuNY1bigRWZtr9Pw6Y_h72qXs-uD8n7cJSrVwP5s8-9I6LVo9TfkMZC3P0lrquQFBHYoYEvjBwIU_9nmgtzF3DzlxyKekuQSXzYyygHhdP-/s1600/Schmoop+Eyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiElmfTAO39qpdJ2imz_G2OAagdy1x0YPOXTTuNY1bigRWZtr9Pw6Y_h72qXs-uD8n7cJSrVwP5s8-9I6LVo9TfkMZC3P0lrquQFBHYoYEvjBwIU_9nmgtzF3DzlxyKekuQSXzYyygHhdP-/s1600/Schmoop+Eyes.jpg" width="348" /></a></div><br />And since Schmoop<i> is</i> my best friend, I guess watching the big game at home is where I should be, and who knows?<br /><br />If I don’t have too much to drink, perhaps Schmoop will put on a halftime show for me that will rock my world.<br /><br />Oh yeahhhhhhhh…<br /><br />If I play my cards right this Super Bowl Sunday, Matt-Man is going to end up going to “Disneyworld!!”<br /><br /><i>Cheers!!</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>Matt-Man</i><br /><br /><a href="mailto:mattmaniws@ymail.com">mattmaniws@ymail.com</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/MattMan_IWS" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">@mattman_iws</span></a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mattmaniws" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">My Facebook Page</span></a></div>

But it’s nearly 20 years later and in the all that time since the Jets fired him after a one-and-done season, he’s won two national championships at Southern Cal and now has the Seahawks in the Super Bowl while the Jets have won nothing.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Maybe it wouldn’t have been such a bad idea if the Jets let him stick around for a little bit longer.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Carroll hasn’t changed much in his let’s-have-fun approach and if it wasn’t for the gray hair, he would look 42 instead of 62, which makes him the second oldest coach in the NFL after Tom Coughlin. He still has all that enthusiasm, bounces around the sideline like a kid and might be the only head coach in the NFL that actually looks like he’s enjoying himself on game day instead of suffering.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">He’s the NFL’s Peter Pan. And there is nothing wrong with that.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So with all that he’s accomplished, it must be gratifying for Carroll to come back to MetLife Stadium for Super Bowl XLVIII, a few hundred yards from where Dan Marino’s fake spike at the old Giants Stadium ruined the 1994 season and his Jets coaching career, and led to Leon Hess firing him.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Not one bit of me feels that way,” Carroll told the Daily News. “I’m not bitter or pissed off or frustrated. I don’t feel like I have to prove anything. I don’t have that in me at all. Everybody feels I should. That was just one messy year, a one-shot deal. I thought it was a blast being in New York. I thought it was awesome. It was a great time to be in a setting of that magnitude.”</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hess was relaxing on the beach in the Bahamas in the days following another Jets season gone wrong when the oil baron’s daughter broke some news that surprised only Hess: The Eagles had fired his pal, the overmatched <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Rich+Kotite" style="border: 0px; color: #015fb6; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none !important; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Rich Kotite">Rich Kotite</a>.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hess, who wasn’t moving well in those days, still managed to hustle inside to catch the report on CNN. It was true, amazingly enough, that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie had fired Kotite after he lost his final seven games of the season, destroying a 7-2 start. Hess had a soft spot in his heart for Kotite from his seven years as a Jets assistant coach, the last five as offensive coordinator, when Hess would stand in the back of the coaches booth and Kotite made him feel like a real football guy.</div><div class="story-img" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px 0px 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 635px;"><img alt="Carroll's tenure with Gang Green is short and he loses his final five games before being fired." src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1592287.1390800704!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/acr052802218-jpg.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0px -10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 635px;" title="Carroll's tenure with Gang Green is short and he loses his final five games before being fired." /><h4 class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder" style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 11px; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: right; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">NFL PHOTOS/NFL</h4><h4 class="caption" itemprop="description" style="border: 0px; color: #111111; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 25px -10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Carroll's tenure with Gang Green is short and he loses his final five games before being fired.</h4></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Even so, Hess reacted to the news that Kotite was suddenly available in a way you might have anticipated had he been told that Vince Lombardi or George Halas was back from the grave or, just as unrealistic, that Jimmy Johnson, who had quit the Cowboys one year earlier after winning back-to-back Super Bowls, was interested in taking over Hess’ dysfunctional team.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">From the Bahamas, he contacted the overseas operator and placed a call to Kotite, who thought somebody was pulling a practical joke on him. Hess offered to cut his vacation short if Kotite couldn’t wait for him to return. The expansion Panthers were interested, too, but Kotite assured Hess he would wait. It was Dec. 26. When Hess returned, they worked out a deal.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">On the night of Jan. 4, Hess requested a meeting with Carroll. He had been the Jets’ defensive coordinator from 1990-93 under Bruce Coslet and was just one year into a four-year contract as the head coach. But the loss to Miami in a showdown for first place in the AFC East — the Jets led 24-6 late in the third quarter — was the first of five straight to end the 6-10 season. Hess caught Carroll completely by surprise when he asked to meet with him. The coach wasn’t expecting a raise but wasn’t expecting to hear, “You’re fired,” either.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Shocking and sudden,” Carroll said.</div><div class="ym-inline" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="ym" id="ym_662210526407498782" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Only the Jets could replace a coach with a five-game losing streak with a coach who had lost his last seven. Kotite was introduced as the coach with total control the next day. Hess acted completely on his own without the consent of the people around him.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“I’m 80 years old. I want results now,” Hess declared.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Kotite gave him results, for sure. They just weren’t any good.

Even Coughlin takes his team on outings now. What was perceived as a weakness of Carroll’s in reality was a strength. He knew how to relate to his players. He just needed better players. He lets players be themselves — Richard Sherman, for example — and they love playing for him.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“It’s not about going bowling, it’s not about shooting hoops, it’s about enriching times when guys are together,” Carroll said. “It’s not just about having fun.

In a coaching round robin, he replaced defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes, who was hired as the Eagles’ coach to replace Kotite, who was hired as the Jets’ coach to replace Carroll.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">At the time, Carroll had a choice between the 49ers, his hometown team, and the Broncos, where Mike Shanahan wanted him as defensive coordinator. Now he will face the Broncos. The 49ers were the model franchise at the time and spending two years around Bill Walsh and George Seifert and Steve Young helped make Carroll a better coach.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When Parcells worked his way out of New England to New York after taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl in 1996, owner Robert Kraft really wanted to promote Bill Belichick, who had joined Parcells’ staff that year. But Kraft felt he needed to make a clean break from the Parcells coaching tree and instead hired Carroll. Kraft felt Parcells had had too much power, so he made a mistake and limited Carroll’s control.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“They hired me to bring in the San Francisco system and it was not that way,” Carroll said. “That was frustrating. It had to do with the culture and the way you do things. I didn’t get a chance to do it. I didn’t have the control I thought I did. It just didn’t turn out the way I thought it was going to.”</div><div class="story-img" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px 0px 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 635px;"><img alt="Today, the enthusiastic Carroll returns to New Jersey for Super Bowl as coach of the NFC champions and says he does not hold grudge against Jets." src="http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1592286.1390800702!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/seahawks-giants-football.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0px -10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 635px;" title="Today, the enthusiastic Carroll returns to New Jersey for Super Bowl as coach of the NFC champions and says he does not hold grudge against Jets." /><h4 class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder" style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 11px; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: right; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">BILL KOSTROUN/AP</h4><h4 class="caption" itemprop="description" style="border: 0px; color: #111111; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0px 25px -10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Today, the enthusiastic Carroll returns to New Jersey for Super Bowl as coach of the NFC champions and says he does not hold grudge against Jets.</h4></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Carroll was 10-6 and won the AFC East in his first year with the Patriots.

It’s never easy replacing Parcells.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Pete is one of the truly great guys in the coaching fraternity and I didn’t give him all the support he needed,” Kraft told me in my book, “Coaching Confidential.”</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Pete was inclusive. Look, in the end, I needed someone to make me feel good. It was good for me to have a guy like Pete Carroll because he’s my kind of guy. I mean, we loved Pete. You want Pete to marry into your family. I love the guy to this day.

This is pretty amazing.<br /><br />I can see the concerns and don't think every swinging dick should do this but, DAYUM, this is cool!<br /><br /><blockquote><a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/01/26/3895027/big-pine-key-homeowner-has-gun.html"><b>Big Pine Key homeowner has gun range in his yard, and it’s totally legal</b></a></blockquote><blockquote>By Cammy Clark<br />cclark@MiamiHerald.com<br /><br />BIG PINE KEY -- Near the National Key Deer Refuge in the Lower Keys, on a sleepy street called Mango Lane, retired sheriff’s deputy Huey Gordon checked the waterway behind neighbor Doug Varrieur’s home for boat traffic.<br /><br />“All clear?” asked Varrieur, an author of diet cookbooks and owner of rental properties.<br /><br />“Yes, sir, you are,” Gordon said.<br /><br />To which Varrieur replied: “The range is hot.”<br /><br />He put on earmuffs and, within a few seconds, the peace of the residential neighborhood was replaced with the burst of small-caliber gunfire. Varrieur fired seven shots that traveled 21 feet to a target that had three cans inside a box and a picture of a zombie holding a screaming woman.<br /><br />“All right, one dead can,” said Varrieur, 57.<br /><br />It has been a month since the friends first fired their guns in this makeshift shooting area — surrounded by a chain-link fence, a shiny RV and the canal. The shots sent shockwaves through the neighborhood.<br /><br />It became even scarier once the neighbors learned that on Varrieur’s side was a state law on the books since 1987. Varrieur said most gun owners like himself had just assumed they couldn’t shoot in residential neighborhoods.</blockquote><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iWCk-j7QlA4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />Read the rest of this very interesting article<a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/01/26/3895027/big-pine-key-homeowner-has-gun.html"> here</a>.<br /><br /><br />H/T to <a href="http://www.fark.com/">FARK</a> for the link.<br /><br />
