Joe Does Dallas
February 2nd, 2011Though Joe sadly didn’t make Super Bowl Media Day at the house that Jerry Jones built due to the ice storm that buried Dallas Tuesday, Joe found out later he was far from alone. Joe did make it to radio row later in the afternoon and got a few interviews and was able to take some photos.

When Joe wrote earlier he had to drive through the country to get to the NFL Super Bowl credential center near Lone Star Park horse track, Joe meant the country. Floridians, what you see on the road and the hood of Joe's car is ice.

The weather must be a downer. I remember being in the USAF in Colorado Springs in the early 1990’s when me a few freinds decided to do a road trip and spend Turkey-day weekend in Dallas.
We had tickets to go to see teh Cowboys – Dolphins.
Turned out to be an ice storm in Dallas, the day Leon Lett muffed the blocked FG. We were in that end zone and had no idea what happened.
All I do know is that weekend was FREEZING!!!! We were planning on partying but the whole city was shut down! Oh well, we had a good time anyway. Actually ended up in a private party at the hotel we were astaying at and alot of the players were there (it was hosted by Irvin)
Stay warm Joe. The coldest I ever was when I lived in Colorado for 8 eyars was that weekend I spent in Dallas

Dave,
USAF here as well…Stateside weather is nothing compared to Korea. That’s where I’m at for another 6 months. It gets -20 degrees Fahrenheit here and worse!

Peter king was unavailable for pictures and interviews. He was later found scarfing hot dogs, eating oatmeal, shoveling pop corn and spaghetti.

I just love it when God takes a dump on the Jerry Jones Empire.
Retired USAF, try the weather in Alamogordo, NM on the flightline at 2 am in January.

I spent a year atr OSAN.
I have been as far north as Glascow in the winter and lived in Panama in the summer…. I have NEVER been anywhere colder than Korea in January-February and never been anywhere hotter than Korea in July-August.
Must be the Kimchi

I hope this weather finally puts to rest the NFL’s stupid idea of putting the Super Bowl in cold weather sites.

@Dave.
But the Soju helps pass the time. If you can remember what time is.
Coldest was Alaska in Feb, hottest Alamogordo in August.
