Blackout won't hurt N.O.'s chances of getting another Super Bowl [according to Goodell] [MERGED x2] (1 Viewer)

Take it for what it's worth:

NEW ORLEANS -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Sunday's 34-minute blackout won't impact the city of New Orleans' chances of hosting another Super Bowl.

"I fully expect that we will be back here for Super Bowls," he said Monday morning. "And I hope we will be back. We want to be back."

Goodell: Blackout won't hurt NOLA's chances for a future SuperBowl

Well, coming from the mouth of the czar himself...

"Going forward, I don't think this will have any impact at all on what I think will be remembered for one of the greatest Super Bowl weeks."

I can't see how one technical snafu that has also happened in such high-profile venues as Candlestick park and the site of next year's Ice Bowl could detract from an otherwise stellar performance by the city of New Orleans.

Apparently, Goodell didn't check with Peter King first.

This isn't going to be like our second round pick is it?

That would be pretty stupid if NO was too loss hosting the SB because of an outage?? It could have happened any where and I did get a good chuckle out of it. Laugh every time I see that picture of SP holding that screwdriver in front of that breaker box!!

Halftime show was produced by NFL. It's their fault.

Whatever, I don't trust one word coming out of that lying turning red disgusting face.

You're going to take THIS GUY at his word? Good luck with that.

"Yes, it will be possible for the Saints to recoup their 2013 2nd round pick."

"No, the penalty will continue to include the 2nd round draft choice in 2013."

I don't put any stock in what Roger Gotohell says,

You were expecting us to host another next yr? Lmao! Come on! It's only a matter of time before we host another and you have to put in bids. Not like they resort back to same city within 5 yrs. it takes at least a decade.

The NFL will never admit it, but they LOVED the blackout.

The game was a blowout. People were changing the channel. Advertisers were not happy.

Suddenly the blackout changed everything. Twitter blew up. People who would never watch the superbowl were talking about it to THEIR friends and tuning in just to see what was going on. Then the 49ers caught up and made it a game that went down to the wire.

The blackout probably made the NFL a ton of extra money.

There is a lot of truth in what you say. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a "black out" happens in a future Super Bowl when it looks like a blow out is about to happen.

Not true at all. There have been 47 Super Bowls, and that was the 10th time New Orleans has hosted one. So actually, we do average one every 5 years.

Well at least we made history......AGAIN!!

After the "White Out" next year from a foot of snow during the Super
Bowl game in their outdoor New Jersey stadium, the NFL will be begging for another "blackout" in an indoor stadium.
