Tampa Bay awarded Super Bowl XLIII

WASHINGTON (May 25, 2005) -- Tampa was awarded the 2009 Super Bowl in a vote at the NFL owners meetings. It beat out three other finalists for the game: Atlanta, Houston and South Florida.

Super Bowl XLIII will be the fourth Super Bowl in Tampa, and the first one since 2001, when the Baltimore Ravens defeated the New York Giants 34-7 in Super Bowl XXXV. The first Super Bowl in Tampa was held in 1984, when the Los Angeles Raiders beat the Washington Redskins 38-9 in Super Bowl XVIII.

The 2006 game -- Super Bowl XL -- will be held in Detroit, followed by Miami in 2007 and Glendale, Ariz., in 2008.

I know we're all for the Jets in Detroit in 06, but can anyone think of anything sweeter than if we made the Big Show in Miami in 07, and won in front of all those ignorant Fins fans? My best friend (who's die-hard Fins) wouldn't hear the end of it for the rest of his life.
