Under the headline Weather is cold, but the reception is not, sports columnist Edwin Pope tells Miami Herald readers today about "a city that has a heart . . . a place with a soul so huge nobody has whipped it yet."

I think that this article is great and it points out a important fact. The places like Miami and New Orleans are so used to having the Super Bowl it is not that important to them. Here, volunteer ambassados (I am one of them), have been told that this is aour ONE chance to change the perception of our city. If you have volunteered for 7 times and know it is coming back, then you don't exactly put your heart into it. Here we are putting our heart into it, and it is showing. Thank you everyone...... | ||

"....Detroit, a place with a soul so huge nobody has whipped it yet" would be a nice city motto. | ||

Man, this is actually kind of incrediable, all the good press that the D is getting. I mean I was expecting a deluge of old sterotypes. It is funny when one pops up. You can almost tell that these guys are just recycling old material, probably from the last time the superbowel was here, and have nothing original to contribute to the dialouge. I did email the reporter from the Globe and personaly thank him for giving his readers a realistic picture. | ||

Sounds like real adults and real reporters understanding we are a reflection of the country as a whole. | ||
