Until this year, I’ve never lived in a city that has a team playing on Super Bowl Sunday. If you’ve read anything I’ve ever written, you might know that I’m from Cleveland, since I rep that pretty hard.
Of course I’m talking about the New York Giants, led by Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning. If they win, we get a parade in this city, and the prospect of that is pretty cool. But other than their name, they really don’t have any connection to Columbia—especially since they actually play their home games in Jersey. So if you’re planning on watching the game but not the biggest football fan, there really isn’t too much you can hang your hat on with them.
But if you look to the other sideline, there is a pretty strong Columbia connection. Before you even think it, no, it’s not any of the players. It’s New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft.
