The city of Indianapolis and their brand new stadium will be hosting the 2012 Super Bowl. Kill me now.
Indy beat Houston and Phoenix in a vote of the league’s 32 owners after losing by just two votes to Dallas for the 2011 game. Despite its cold weather, Indianapolis had been expected to win because its competitors have hosted a Super Bowl since opening their stadiums.
And their competitors have something to offer as a city, like heat in February, and shit to do while you're there. But they didn't have Dennis Hopper, apparently.
Actor Dennis Hopper, nominated for an Oscar for his role as an alchoholic basketball coach in "Hoosiers," is lending his star power to Indianapolis in its bid for the 2012 Super Bowl. Hopper appears in a video that is part of the city's 15-minute presentation before the NFL's 32 owners today in the Atlanta suburb of Buckhead. Owners will vote for a winner between presumed favorite Indianapolis and competitors Houston and the Phoenix areas.
Dennis Hopper could stick his head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it. God, I hate Indy.

Considering they had it in Detroit awhile back I would imagine it's a step up from the murders and crack dealers.
That's a fine point, Phil. I'm going to have to take a long look at my feelings and think about this irrational bias I cling to with regard to this city.
Dennis Hopper campaigning for Indianapolis is like Jack Nicholson campaigning for Chinatown.
No, Punte, you had it right the first time.
Detroit at least had nightclubs and liquor to even out the sense of danger. A wild night in Indianapolis involves a second helping of unflavored ice milk.
At least in February, the street sewers are frozen, so the only shit smell is from the fresh ones left by the panhandlers.
We're in smack dab in the middle of the NBA and NHL playoffs, the contenders and pretenders are starting to weed themselves out in MLB, and we have two posts from the NFL owner's meeting today. Yes, NFL rules the nation.
/dick joke
I actually lived in Indy for a year and a half. Good luck selling alcohol on Superbowl Sunday in a state that maintains a statewide ban on Liquor sales on Sundays.
Fun Note: Upon being asked if he could lend a hand for Indy's push to host a Superbowl, Gene Hackman responded, "I'd rather fuck Paris Hilton with your penis."
No CBA? Super Bowl in Indy?
Warren Buffet was right; invest in a company so good an idiot can run it, because eventually
oneRoger Goodell will.In his defense, Dennis Hopper probably had no clue where he was or what he was saying.
@scumdog: You'll notice Uff wrote the post about the no-hitter last night. That's because I am contractually obligated to write all of my baseball posts for chronicmasturbatorsonbaseball.org, which is a non-profit news site, as you might have guessed.
Uh oh. Matt hates the Spurs and Punter hates Indy.
This could get ugly.
/Born in Indianapolis (Colts fan) and lives in San Antonio 9Spurs fan.)
The one time I went to Indy I got a bacterial retina infection. The doctors tried to tell me it was from dirty contacts, but I think we all know it was from looking at the women.
By the way, my 4 hours in the E.R there was the highlight of my trip.
@MMP: I'd write for your site, but I masturbate for profit.
Super Bowl in Indy? That's a whole bunch of potential drunk targets for Danica Patrick's car to run over.
While New Orleans may still be under water and have potholes the size of Ufford’s penis, at least we have stuff to do here.
Fuck Indy.
I believe the Super Bowl should only be played in Miami, Tampa, New Orleans, Atlanta, Phoenix, and maybe LA. Places with relatively warm weather, a lot of hotel rooms and things to do, and a stockpile of hookers/strippers/whores.
Indy is 0-for-3 on those counts.
I've hated Indianapolis since they stole my beloved Albany Firebirds of the AFL.
side note: creepy athletic massager Tom Porras played QB for them.
Still waiting for that Buffalo Super Bowl to be announced.
Also, 'Stockpile of Hookers/Strippers/Whores' is also the name of Doogie's new album.
side note:
creepyheroic athletic massager Tom Porras played QB for them.WDYA wins this round. Again.
Gee Prison Mike, you don't seem like the kind of guy who would pick and choose from winners to throw your support behind.
it's funny to hear my friends, who live in fort wayne, talk shit about indy. to me, that means the whole state can eat a dick while i enjoy sunny california.
Alright all you dickweeds. Indy is going to be a great place to host the Super Bowl. There is plenty to do and plenty of room. Indy already host the two largest single day events every year and the Final Four every Four years. Its going to be a great experience and everyone needs to get used to it because I believe this is just the first of many Super Bowl's in Indy's future.
Despite what you may have heard, there are plenty of hookers waddling around Indianapolis.
@UU
I'm sure Baltimore Colts fans can relate to your comment.
Nothing beats an obscure Tommy Boy reference.
Indy is going to be a great place to host the Super Bowl. There is plenty to do and plenty of room.
That's always been my biggest complaint about Manhattan. Not enough room just to go out and mosey for a few empty miles.
Any chance we can convince them to hold the next Super Bowl in an empty stretch of the Gobi Desert?
That's right, Tim. Despite the fact that, as I said I was born in Indianapolis and lived there as a child, and despite the fact that I have lived on and off in San Antonio for 31 years, I am a bandwaggoner. Some other alltime favorites of mine:
Horse: Big Brown (used to be Barbaro)
High School Football team: De La Salle (go Spartans!)
College Football team: Florida Gators
Baseball team: Whoever won last year…was it the Yankees, no wait, the Red Sox.
Album: The Eagles Greatest Hits
Movie: Titanic
Book: The Bible/Quotations From Chairman Mao
TV show: Last episode of M.A.S.H.
Democratic candidate:
ClintonObamaClintonObamaWhat did the polls say today?quit whining and just watch the game on tv like the rest of us for whom it doesn't matter where the the game is played. fucking privileged sports bloggers…
I've had a rough night and I hate the fucking Eagles, man.
The creator of withleather.com sucks dick for beer money and he doesn't even drink. Go Colts!
jesus. a majority of you are idiots.
"there is nothing to do in Indy", how many of you ass clowns have even gone to a SuperBowl? Indy has plenty of bars…since partying is about all that people do at the SuperBowl.
And as many people have already mentioned, none of you dicks are going to be able to afford a ticket anyway. Quit your fuckin crying. Grow up and accept it.
We may not even be alive by 2012…lol.
@TGSH
As the blog's mission statement indicates, this is a blog that emphasizes the negative in the sports world, and the comments tend to follow accordingly.
Hardaway is right, bring the SuperBowl to Atlanta. We're loaded with skanky strippers and this time Ray Lewis may kill two people( alledgedly). Indy can't be crappier than Jacksonville. Can it? Or Raleigh? It could be worse, maybe.
