That Just Happened — Tampa Has The Best Strip

Tampa Bay is hosting its fourth Super Bowl. Despite the number of Tampa’s attractions that the city’s tourism bureau would like for you to visit, one industry in particular is looking forward to the big game. It is believed that there are as many as 43 skrip clubs in the Tampa metro. SI.com has some interesting insight to the “Tampa Strip”. Somebody pass me a steak…and shrimp.

How hard is it to get Super Bowl tickets? Well, not that hard at all…just expensive. StubHub.com has a bunch of tickets listed starting at $1,600 per seat up to $10,000 per seat. And if you have $100k to blow and 15 friends (or strippers from the night before) you like alot, you can buy a luxury suite.

Hey, Tony. I can’t stand girls with twig-like physiques, but what did you do to Jessica? Seriously, though…I’m not making fun. But I’m not gonna lie. This is definitely surprising. Somebody pass me the chips and pizza.

Is Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald the greatest wide receiver ever? If the Steelers win the Super Bowl, will they be the greatest team in NFL history? Did you know that Bill Cowher once coached the Steelers? And did you know that Ken Whisenhunt once worked for Cowher? So, who does Bill Cowher pull for in this game? Just a few of the questions you’ll hear over and over again leading up to this weekend. John Royal at HoustonPress has a whole list of Super Bowl Memes you’ll be sick of.

Raise your hand if you thought Paul Blart Mall Cop signaled the end of Kevin James’ movie career. It’s been #1 for two weeks in a row. Somebody pass me the crow.

Earlier this year, one of my friends brought to my attention Erin Burnett’s snobbish tendencies. Ever since then, I’ve been looking for my new fav CNBC hottie. I found her. Did you know Trish Regan is fluent in Spanish and Italian, studied classical voice (opera), and was Miss New Hampshire in 1993?

Is Erin Burnett Stealing Maria Bartiromo’s Spotlight?

Quite frankly, I could care less. As an obsessed avid CNBC viewer, I’ve noticed that Maria has been doing all of the feature stories and big shows while Erin Burnett and Becky Quick share facetime with the telepromter on a fairly even keel.

Apparently, “Mousey” Maria has been complaining about all the attention Erin Burnett has been getting as of late. This is all according to an article in the New York Post on Page Six

Insiders say Bartiromo is in an uproar over her ravishing rival Burnett, who’s begun to upstage her at the business news channel.

An inside source tells Page Six the Money Honey has been fuming that curvy Burnett, in addition to her duties as anchor of “Street Signs” and co-anchor of “Squawk on the Street,” is getting substantial airtime on the “Today” show, which gives her a much bigger audience. “Maria is like, hey, why isn’t it me on the ‘Today’ show? She’s very jealous of all the attention Erin is getting,” our source said.

Hey, Maria. Erin is a hottie. It was only a matter of time before it happened. I mean what’s hotter than a beautiful woman that knows her assets? You can equate that to a woman that likes sports…or cars. Most guys love it, and I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume mostly males watch CNBC. Its not that Maria isn’t unattractive…just not the hot commodity right now (man I’m on a roll). Don’t complain, Maria. I watch The Wall Street Journal Report with Maria Bartiromo. It is America’s #1 Financial News program…and it’s good.

The Ladies of CNBC
Opio at The Beef Jerky Blog posted his Top 10 List of The Beautiful Ladies of CNBC. Great list. Just a few things I’d change. He forgot two of the more attractive female anchors, Darby Dunn and #2 on my “list”, Melissa Francis, who graduated with honors from Harvard University with a bachelor of Arts degree. And Suze Orman? Gone. Sure she helps people become more financially responsible, but I can’t stand her.
