While this is the [auspicious day](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=564552) that we find that the Meadowlands has been granted the 2014 Super Bowl, there is something else for NFL fans to celebrate today: It’s been 107 days since Super Bowl XLIII. The kickoff to the 2010 season is in 107 days. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re about to go over the hump. That _real_ Most Wonderful Time of the Year – football season – will be here before we know it. Woohoo! ---

Phew. I can’t stand baseball. It’s good to know we’re on the downslope to football. ---

Yeah, now that my Sharks have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs, there aren’t any sporting events until September (other than some half-assed football in August). Come on, calendar, hurry up!
