For Super Bowl XLIV, many New Orleans Saints fans are choosing to make the 12-hour drive to Miami rather than hopping on a plane.
As the excitement builds and fans are getting ready for Sunday, there is still time to get last minute Super Bowl tickets before the game at Razorgator.com or on-site for guaranteed last minute orders, up until game time on Sunday.
This is a very special moment for the New Orleans Saints and its fans, said Brendan Ross, President and CEO at Razorgator.com. We wanted to provide Saints fans with easy tips to help them navigate their way to Miami to take part in an unforgettable experience.
Why fly when driving is so easy? Razorgator.com helps fans find their way to Miami.
1. It is only a 12-hour drive from New Orleans to Miami and the cost of fuel is only about $91. A flight will run about $800 non-stop according to Travelocity.com.
2. If you drive you can watch Burt Reynolds in The Longest Yard and swing by Palm Beach High School where he earned a football scholarship to Florida State.
3. You can listen to Carrie Underwoods Cowboy Casanova in the car, a song that may or may not have been inspired by former beau Tony Romo. Carrie will beat her ex to the Super Bowl since she?ll be singing the National Anthem on Sunday.
4. Peyton Manning has thrown for over 50,000 yards in his career, which is about 1/30th of the way from his birthplace in New Orleans to Miami. You might not be able to break his passing records but you can bring a football in the car for the world?s longest game of catch on the drive to Miami.
5. Road trips always have better snacks than airplane food. Americans will consume almost 4,000 tons of popcorn, 15,000 tons of chips and 12 million pounds of avocado on Super Bowl Sunday. Flights do not even serve peanuts anymore.
6. Your car trunk does not charge you any baggage fees.
7. Swing by 7 Eleven on the way back. They sell 20% of their antacid for the year the day after the Super Bowl. At least Miami is 1 hour ahead of New Orleans, which gets you another hour of sleep when you get home.

Denny's Free Grand Slam Breakfast Hype or Hope?
With over 306 million grand slam possibilities of being given away we have to examine the Denny's story. A restaurant chain that has come from humble beginnings blue collar work and made an affordable eatery open 24 hours a day.
So like last year Denny's restaurants will be giving away free breakfast to anybody who enters their doors between 6 am and 2 pm the day after the super bowl as will be seen by one of their 3 big game commercials (NFL owns the rights to the name Super Bowl and is trying to say the "Big Game" is trademarked as well but thats another blog rant).
Does this venture help or hurt the great hope of reviving the classic 3 in the morning I can't find a waffle house story? Well the majority of eaters earn less than a measley $45,000.00 a year and thats about what I make from you clicking on my advertisements, go ahead click on it please. Also many of those individuals are believed to be struggling coming from current Denny's CEO and so he would also give anybody free breakfast on their birthday this year. So what happens if your birthday is the day after the super bowl? Do you get two free grand slams?
Apparently the answer is yes because they did it last year and had the best day ever because all of those people brought somebody else who either bought a coffee or another meal and gave Denny back that recognition he had been craving. Also to be able to do it twice in one year (2009) and to do it again for 3 very expensive (over a million a piece) commercials plus giving away free food means that there is hype and hope in the breakfast world.

iPhone
Iphone is great since you are more likely to have it with you regardless of where you are. The ipod/iphone games are generally way below the handheld games in terms of quality and fun, but they have helped me fill lots of 10 or 15 minutes gaps with something more enjoyable than staring out a window. And since they're almost always less than $10, it's easy to find something to grab that doesn't break the bank. As such, i guess the "gameability" of the ipad will depend on whether a gamer has it during a time when he wants to play. I can't imagine rushing home to fire up a game on your ipad, but if you already have one on your desk/lap in front of you, it might be a better option than the ipod (though maybe still not as good as the ds/psp).

The Super Bowl
Super bowl is as much about businesses entertaining clients and salespeople as it is a football game. Rodney barreto, the chairman of the south florida super bowl host committee, says that miami is a logical choice to host the big game. "look across the country, at that time of year, at what there is to offer," barreto said. "for their fan base and for their sponsors, they want to go somewhere that's the best value for them. [the super bowl] is corporate america at its best. To be sure, a few middle-class fans will make their way to south florida for sunday's game. After the 2007 super bowl, an economic impact study estimated that the average attendee spent $668 per day in south florida. With an average stay of five days, a few days at the super bowl cost more than months of mortgage payments, for most people. Which is exactly why south florida wants to host the game.

Super bowl is our last resort," said nfl commissioner roger goodell, who was flanked by the coaches and quarterbacks for the opposing teams. "yes, there are some difficult issues that need to be hashed out, such as who will be the game's mvp, the number of total passing yards for each quarterback, and which team will be named super bowl champion, but i think we made progress today. "the colts and the saints are unwavering in their commitment to avoid any violence and wish to resolve the super bowl peacefully, without a single football being thrown," goodell added. According to team sources, formal overtures to crown a super bowl victor through peaceful negotiation began almost immediately after saints kicker garrett hartley connected on a game-winning field goal against the vikings last sunday. Saints general manager mickey loomis reportedly sent one of the team's high-level ambassadors, deuce mcallister, to indianapolis to see if the colts would agree to a 42-38 outcome wherein the saints would be named super bowl champions. Sources confirmed colts general manager chris polian told mcallister that, while he was open to diplomacy and would do anything to avoid sending his players into harm's way, his organization would prefer a final result that favors the colts 27-17. "absolutely no one wants to see these teams forced to take the field and play 60 minutes of brutal football against each another," colts owner jim irsay said. "but the saints have to understand that if they aren't willing to meet us half way on some our demands, specifically those that are outcome-related, we are fully committed to using all our offensive firepower to achieve our goals.
