Super Bowl XLIII

"My Super Bowl Team" at Raymond James Stadium

Game Day has finally arrived here in Tampa. The weather forecast is outstanding, maybe slightly chilly for my Florida blood, but all the visitors will love it.
For those wondering why am I here – I am part of the Disney team that produces the “I’m Going to Disney World” commercial and helps bring the player to Walt Disney World the next day. I’ve been doing this since the last New Orleans bowl, which I think was 2002. I missed a few in-between for various reasons. All-in-all, this will be my 6th Super Bowl appearance. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have this opportunity. I don’t and never will take it for granted. I love the pageantry of the event, all the hype, all the devotion of the fans for their teams. I had that same devotion to the Miami Dolphins back in the days of Dan Marino and Don Shula. When those days ended, so did my hard-core passion for football. But, it is really cool to see others having so much fun and enjoying the moment.
So for tonight- I don’t have a favorite team. I only wish that everyone has a great time and enjoys the big game.
