It’s Bigger Than Jesus (Well, His Birthday, Anyway)

A A A Comments (19) By John Linn Thursday, Feb 3 2011

Rejoice, all ye sports fans! America’s most venerable holiday, Super Bowl Sunday, is finally upon us. A time for family, friends, and food, the Super Bowl is just like Christmas... only with way more Cheez Whiz sculptures and commercials that make nut shots on America’s Funniest Home Videos look like high comedy. With the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers facing down the gridiron tonight, you could easily hunker down on your couch with your Ben Roethlisberger Fatheads and your Aaron Rodgers-branded Snuggies and watch the big game in style. But where’s the fun without some fellow fan barking obscenities in your ear about the opposing team’s quarterback? (Answer: There’s not, bub.)

So here’s what you do: If you’re a fan of those gold and black Steelers, then grab your Terrible Towels and head to the Wayward Sailor Pub (3045 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale). Winner of New Times’ Best Sports Bar Award in 2009, this dingy porthole is lively, colorful, and refreshingly unrefined — just like the Steeler Nation itself. Conversely, let’s say the blood that runs in your veins is definitely gold in hue but resembles something more like an aged Wisconsin cheddar. First, get yourself to a doctor, man! But immediately afterward, don a cheese hat and point yourself toward Slackers Bar & Grill (995 W. State Road 7, Fort Lauderdale). Why do the Pack hang out at the Slack? Simple: Packers fans dressed in green and gold get to sit in their own private section at this fan-friendly watering hole. Plus, the management (which hails from Wisconsin) busts out authentic Green Bay grub during games, including beer brats and (get this) fried cheese curds. Now that’s what we call festive.

For more info on Wayward Sailor, call 954-630-2856. Or to find out more about Slackers, call 954-530-4758, or visit slackersbarandgrill.com.

It's just a part of the Total Onslaught to make Jesus Christ less than The Only Son Of God in the minds of the masses !! and it's working.

What a stupid title for an article. Lets see if the super bowl will save you when u need to be saved. Shallow dude, shallow.

So people question Jesus deity? But not wether he existed? Wasn't Jesus born from a virgin? No such thing, therefore; no Jesus existed.

Gilberto is an idiot 02/03/2011 2:03:00 PM

Gilberto, You must be retarded or just that dumb. The existence of Jesus has never been disputed...it is his deity people question. I will say this slowly for you - deity meaning whether he is the son of God or not. Entiende amiga?

I WON'T go there just cause of the offensive title.

02/03/2011 5:12:00 AM

Oh it's soo obvious you make friends well. Now go to bed child, it's way past your bed time.

02/03/2011 5:00:00 AM

I'm mocking you, numbnuts. Of course, anybody who believes in imaginary beings is too dumb to realize that. Wouldn't expect anything better of you.

02/03/2011 4:47:00 AM

From the way you speak it seems he already has!

02/03/2011 12:34:00 AM

Ahhhhhhugggghhhhhhh. Spoken like a true Neanderthal. Hey, SaIA, have your god smite me! Nothing is bigger than Jesus, not even my head? That's the problem. Your head is the one creating your imaginary friend. Come on, smite me. I want to prove you wrong!

02/03/2011 12:13:00 AM

I take offense to your headline. Nothing is bigger than Jesus not even your head!

Super Bowl Sunday by no means compares with the marriage supper of the Lamb. Enjoy the game now but also be prepared for what is really important.

02/02/2011 7:46:00 PM

Again, answer the question, why does your god feel threatened by this? Isn't he powerful? BTW, not interested in football or god. Just pointing out religious flaws.

Kimosaki 02/02/2011 5:19:00 PM

Of course, only just another idol mankind has placed before the Creator. The very reason you all live and have breath. I hope Superbowl can help you while the world is given over to destruction.
