Before I rest my bracket-filled eyes, one post to add to my burgeoning collection.
Maybe economically depressed cities such as Detroit should get to be permanent hosts of sporting events like the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship as a way to boost the city, even if it amounts to a seasonal economy. Every little bit helps when faced with the fact that the once stalwart of the Motor City -- the auto industry -- will be dealing with reinventing itself for some time to come or face economic extinction.
Another not-so hot travel spot to use sports tourism in an economic assistance manner: How about Mississippi hosting the Super Bowl for four years? Why the hell else would you be in Tupelo?
President Obama will be sure to get these proposals first thing in the morning.
