Peter King predicts Atlanta vs. San Diego in SB next year

Actually, this feels like a back-handed remark in this article...

The NFL, in the seat debacle.

Fans Outraged By Super Screw-up
Source: SI

Hundreds of Super Bowl ticket holders were denied actual seats at Cowboys Stadium due to safety concerns over temporary seating.

There is no excuse, and never can be one, when you sell tickets for seats that are not valid. That's what the NFL did with 400 people who had valid tickets for seating areas that were not deemed safe by the local authorities.

It doesn't matter that the league put them in areas where they could stand and see the game, or sit and watch on TV inside the stadium. Imagine people who sacrifice and scrape money together for the chance (maybe the only chance) to see a Super Bowl, and they get to the game and are told they have no seat. The league needs to be quick about this investigation, find out who dropped the ball, and do more than give the fans who got jobbed three times the value of their ticket.

Commissioner Roger Goodell announced this morning that the 400 displaced fans will attend next year's Super Bowl as guests of the NFL. That's a good gesture, but if I'm that Steeler fan from Erie I read about last night, and I'm getting an all-expenses-paid trip to Indianapolis to see Atlanta-San Diego ... I mean, I'm still not happy.

I don't think it's a backhanded remark in any shape or form. Think about it. You just spent thousands of dollars on tickets to watch your favorite NFL team play on the biggest stage of them all, and due to executives fuckin up somewhere, you are told that you are no longer welcome. Now, they want to send you to next years superbowl that may or may not include your team. I wouldn't want to go to a superbowl unless my team was taking part in it. I would ask for my money back and then I would sue Jerry Jones for something..

I may have mis-interpreted what he meant by that

They got 3 times their money back, and free tix for next year's game. They could always just sell them if their team isn't in it. I feel bad of what happened, and I know I'd be pissed too, but they'll be over it by next year.

Yes. And they could probly sell them for double face value and make even more profit. I would be happy if I was one of them

Peter King is the kiss of fucking death and no clue how this fat douchebag get paid to write a column every Monday and be quite successful . He picked Carolina to make playoffs over us last year ...seriously

but that was more of a indictment on the city Indy then seeing SD VS ATL super bowl

[Gritz]

We're thoroughly screwed now.

Having Peter King pick your team to win anything is like having Stevie Wonder for a barber.

You aren't going to have a good outcome.

Have you ever been to Indy? It is a shit hole.
