So Miami had the Super Bowl and thousands of freezing fans from Indianapolis and Chicago descended on my little town of South Beach to take part in the festivities. ESPN had all of their shows broadcasted from South Beach's Ocean Drive, as did the NFL Network and some other shows. One of the highlights for me was being on the Jim Rome is Burning show in the background and giving the unsuspecting viewers (at least those who cared to watch the background shots) a "SUCK IT" sign like the Degeneration X did when they dominated the WWF. If you were watching Jim talk to Dante Stallworth of the Eagles, you may have seen me in my black Deion Sanders Atlanta Falcons throwback jersey.
Another nice little highlight was being interviewed for NBC channel 6 news. I still have not seen the broadcast, but my accountant confirmed it ran and I was on there plugging Andre Rison's parties and telling how annoying fans from out of town can be.
All in all, a great weekend. My man Pedro and his brother in law visited too. We went out to Bricks Nightclub for a gala event, that ended up being a blast but having about 1% of the celebrities in attendance that were "confirmed." After going to Mark and Susans wedding and flying into Tampa, I was delayed until almost 4:30 pm and didnt arrive at the bar for the Super Bowl party until almost 6pm. Luckily, my comrads Carmine SantaMaria and Hashim Burney were able to scoop up my friends from up north so we could meet at the Parrot Bar, a Philly-oriented bar in Ft. Lauderdale, where we watched the big game. Colts fans dominated the crowd, and Pedro sprained his thumb while he cheered for Devin Hesters kick return on the opening kick!
Lorenzo White and Andre Rison were up there cheering on the Colts, to my dismay. Andre played as a Colt as a rookie before being traded to the ATL where he thrived. Lo likes Peyton Manning....I don't know why! I said if the Bears were to win I'd get in a 3 point stance and make a run at tackling Lo. Obviously that didn't happen. After the game, we checked out a few "adult clubs' and had some beverages. My friend also puked on himself at Pure Platinum....and I tackled a blow up Green Bay Packer doll after bribing the valet $10. I then killed iit with my key and ruined it for good. I hate the Packers!
The day after the game led us to a Casino Cruise, where one of my friends won $1,000 and I won a couple hundred. Latenight Solid Gold was "pretty sweet" and we took shots til 5 in the morning.....I love when people visit. of course everyone except me slept in until about 1 pm the next day while I ran errands. Of course his flight was canceled that night and he was stuck in Ft. Lauderdale....exhausted!
