If you are headed this way and can’t afford to spend your monthly mortgage on one night’s hotel room, consider this option:
The Benedictine nuns at Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery offer room and board for $250 a night. The only stipulations: No smoking, no drinking, no Marriott points, which rules out the media.
It did get me thinking, though. Which biblical figures most represent some Super Bowl participants?
Tom Brady = Moses. The definitive leader.
Eli Manning = Lazarus. Raised from the dead.
Randy Moss = Aaron. Not as important as Moses (Brady), but played a big part in defeating key opponents.
Bill Belichick = Herod. The greatest builder of his time while being insistently paranoid.
Tom Coughlin = Methuselah. He didn’t look a day over 969 during the NFC title game in freezing Green Bay.
Ticket brokers = Satan.
Have a nice day.
