Jacksonville Smells A Little Less Than Secaucus

Boy, ya think Jacksonville might be second guessing the benefits of this whole "Super Bowl" thing?  The city has been loudly criticized for not having enough infrastructure (read: hotel rooms) to support a Super Bowl, and now Washington Post columnist, and Northern elitist, Tony Kornheiser chimes in with "What's That Smell?  Jacksonville."

Here is a bit of interaction from the article:

(Note: Reali is the guy Kornheiser sent to Jacksonville on some sort of scouting mission.)

"I am from Staten Island, and I have lived in New Jersey," Reali explained. "I know bad smells. This was right below Secaucus."

Not as bad as Staten Island?

"Nothing approaches Staten Island," Reali said with conviction.

However, if you are still holding on to the dream of getting a Super Bowl hotel room right in Jacksonville, USA Today's hotel expert, Megg Mueller Schulte, suggests checking out a couple of cruise ships that will be docking in the Port Of Jacksonville next weekend.  

Hey, if the smell gets too strong you can just get the captain to sail down to Miami and you can catch the game on an Ocean Drive bar television.
