Super Bowl XLII Travel: The Least You Need To Know
February 1, 2008 at 9:00 AM | 0 Comments
Time was Jessica Simpson was married to man who cared about football. Without the bonds of marital love, she must feel relieved that she doesn't have to keep up with the NFL any more. Well, relieved enough that when a reporter asked her who she was rooting for in this weekend's Super Bowl she said, "Go Cowboys!" (The Cowboys already lost in the playoffs.)
This weekend, don't be a Jessica. The undefeated New England Patriots are playing the New York Giants in Glendale, Arizona for this, the 42nd Super Bowl. If pressed for details, either draw a quick metaphor to the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, or (in case you want to look like you read the New York Times) mention how Pats quarterback Tom Brady is dating a supermodel while Giants QB Eli Manning is engaged to his college sweetheart. If you really know nothing about football, loudly criticize the halftime band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Don't forget your coozy!

Jordin Sparks Makes Glendale The New Idolville
May 24, 2007 at 8:51 AM | 0 Comments
Come out from underneath your soundproofed rock! "American Idol" is over and we've given up hope that Sanjaya could somehow be un-kicked off at the 11th hour. The champion, one Jordin Sparks, is at 17 the youngest "Idol" winner ever and a plus-size model who has sung with Alice Cooper. She was something of a surprise winner after former back-up singer Melinda Doolittle was voted off last week, but first caught the eye of the judges with her performance of "I (Who Have Nothing)" in Week 2.
Sparks was born in Staten Island, but hangs her hat in Glendale, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix best known as the home of Super Bowl XLII, which will be played there on February 3, 2008. If you are going to Glendale, check out Deer Valley Rock Art Center, a primarily outdoor museum showcasing and protecting a set of petroglyphs and pictographs. And for a taste of the region's history, then speed into the 20th century at the Speed Street Indoor Racetrack, where Ms. Sparks will surely be doing the national anthem one of these days.
