Joe Flacco Says Having The Super Bowl In New York Is Retarded
NY Post – It’s a good thing Joe Flacco gets paid for his right arm and not his mouth. The Ravens quarterback made his first bad pass of the week when he used a derogatory term to rip the idea of next year’s cold-weather Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in his home state of New Jersey. “I think it’s retarded,” Flacco said at yesterday’s press conference before catching himself. “I probably shouldn’t say that. I think it’s stupid. If you want a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium. Then you can get one. Other than I don’t really like the idea. I don’t think people would react very well to it, or be glad to play anybody in that kind of weather.”
First off I like the fact that he said retarded and then took it back and nobody is going nuts over it. I mean I’m sure theres a few uptight assholes who are gonna make a stink about this but for the most part people are actually reacting like reasonable humans. Can we all just agree that “retarded” and “gay” is ok to say now? Please?
Secondly I don’t understand the idea that having the Super Bowl in cold weather is a big deal. What are people worried about? The weather affecting the outcome of the game? Football fans are worried about the weather? When it was 0 degrees in Denver this year did anyone claim it was ridiculous that a playoff game was being decided there? Every year when teams go into New England is it a big deal that theres a potential for snow and cold? The Legendary Lambeau Field is one of the most hallowed places in all of football specifically because its cold. Tom Coughlin’s red plastic frostbitten face will go down in football lore just like the dude who drove that Snowplow right across the field. Football is a sport based on toughness and perseverance and battling in the trenches outside. I think you should argue that having the most important game every year played inside on turf in a perfect 68 degrees is more retarded than having it outside in New York.
Other than the on the field repercussions I don’t see why anybody would really care. Like unless you’re one of the bougie assholes flying out to the Super Bowl who gives a shit what the media week is like. I do not give one single fuck about the Super Bowl Village and if the tents and games and entertainment are ruined because its cold or snowy. Give me a classic Super Bowl in freezing temperatures where we separate the men from the boys and crown a true football champion.
Joe Flacco’s retarded
if you are above the age of 12 and still say the word retarded you have problems and zero self-awareness…
next year’s Superbowl is in New Jersey, get it right
every time this idiot opens his mouth he jams his dick in it
It follows the same question, why do people go skiing when you can go to a beach?
HEAR HEAR
Each NFL city should host the Super Bowl on a rotating basis
or fuck it, it should be played at the higher seed, like every other goddam sport
His fu manchu is the definition of retarded.
Think Ray Lewis will forgive him for saying things in the heat of battle?
Because when you pay thousands of dollars, you don’t want to sit in 30 degree weather the whole game and freeze your ass off. Also, every time I see this guy from Joe Schmo I think it is Prezbolewski.
I can understand why the consumer would be upset. I priced up a trip to New Orleans and it was a big investment. Cannot imagine sitting in LAX watching my money go down the toilet for tickets, hotel, etc. because my flight to NY got cancelled due to a huge storm.
Using cold-weather postseason games in your argument shows what a moron you are. The seeding in the playoffs is designed to reward teams for their regular season performance by giving them homefield advantage. Since the Super Bowl is a neutral site game, there should be NO advantage to either team, and a warm weather or dome setting does the best job of insuring that.
Super Bowl should either be in Miami, New Orleans, or Southern California every year. Any other place is fuckin stupid. Unless Vegas gets a stadium. Then it can be there too.
ya its about the travel to and from the game, wouldnt look good if a monster blizzard swept across jersey new york new england and the stadium was half empty
Fuckin’ Flacco…..
Stop the PC crap. Retarded is a legitimate word, and Flacco used it correctly:

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a mongoloid.
@imtough – If you think a person has problems and zero self-awarenes for using the word retarded, you’re retarded.
What did his father have to say?
He’s just tryin to spice shit up and make his dad . Love him by not being so dull
Retarded people give the word retard a bad name
^that made me laugh way harder than it should have
Superbowl in New Jersey was obviously because some people got paid off to make a ridiculous decision. I really hope the weather is horrible with low temps, it will hopefully make it a one-time thing. It will be fun to laugh at and say “Remember that pathetic Superbowl in New Jersey?” It will be like the World Cup soccer 2022 that pay-offs got to Qatar. Oh, it’s 120 degrees plus during the time games are played so they bullshitted and said they would air condition entire outdoor stadiums they are building. Total bullshit. Heat stroke deaths of soccer players won’t be fun to watch?
you don’t call retarded people retards. it’s bad taste. you call your friends retards when they’re acting retarded
A spades a spade…a retards a retard. They want to be treated equally I’m not gonna go sugar coating shit for em.
Never go full retard
Flacco is talking like this is his 5th Superbowl or something
flacco is the spokesperson for the special olympics here in baltimore…
Who the fuck would pay a couple grand to go to Jersey? Liek the above commenter said…Miami, new Orleans, or SoCal. The shit’s expensive, it should be somewhere nice.
Simple Flack
Let me just close out my jokes on here by saying if my kid was a windowlicker I’d love him just the same. I wouldn’t want him, but I would love him.
what a puss. Everyone knows snow games are the most memorable, he just doesn’t want to break a nail
Gotta agree with imtough actually. Not because I think saying “retarded” is offensive, just because I think anyone who says it is a loser. It’s like someone saying “that’s dope” or “yeah buddy”
or someone who thumbs ups their post…
What’s the over/under for how many pairs of butt-less chaps Flacco owns??
Dull people don’t use the word retarded. Joe’s Dad is retarded.
@carlsweetchuck thanks Captain Obvious. We know it’s a real word. I’m sure it gets used a lot within the mental health field. However, when used in a derogatory manner it makes the speaker look like an imbecile and thus anyone, above the age of 12, who continues to use this word is such and can’t be taken seriously…
it is absolutely ridiculous that you don’t think its a big deal to have the super bowl in the cold weather. these teams work their asses off all year to get to the biggest stage in professional sports and then they get thrown a curveball with this bullshit weather. if you don’t think that teams play different in cold as oppose to warm weather think again. do you honestly think that Peyton would have made that many mistakes in the playoff game if he was playing in a dome?
@arno1dpa1mer, you, my friend, are the poster child for the word retarded. Please go back under the rock you slithered out from.
imtough only retarded people think it’s ok to end a sentence with a preposition
Rainman bankrupted an entire casino and he was a ratard
Yeah it could storm and delay flights. But there is a major flaw.
Who is to say that there will be good weather in a Southern stadium? It could easily snow or downpour rain there. And if either of those happens, you can bet that flights will be delayed.
I hope its great weather next year, and then just creampie central in all the Southern cities in following Super Bowls.
Tornadoes can and have occurred on just about any day of the year throughout the country and I think New Orleans was hit by a hurricane or something a few years ago. If your really worried about the weather maybe we should just play the Super Bowl underground. Ya retards.
@the great cornholio
I thought hurricane season was ova
“Can we all just agree that “retarded” and “gay” is ok to say now? Please?” Instead of “is” I think you are looking for an “are”. Retard.
ugh dumb flacco. hes from nj? damnit
A fucking men. Bout fucking time u said it. Fuck all the filthy corporate Jew fucks who want turn a mans game into the oscars. Next year when that game is played in my hometown the chance to kill thousands of filthy Jews cannot be wasted I am formulating a master race/plan to kill the Jews
the fact that imtough’s comment has 29 thumbs down is phenominal
I wish NY would just buy Bergen County
Honestly, how many of you are actually going to a Super Bowl in your lifetime? Cold weather games are what football is all about. Football has gotten softer and softer since it became popular. The game has become so corporate and about nothing but money. They don’t care about the fans anymore. 20 years ago you could get decent tickets to a Giants game for around 30-40 bucks, now forget about it. Real fans have been replaced by such jobbers it isn’t even funny. I hope they get a foot of snow on Sunday.
.
And what does Bergen County have anything to do with this topic?
