Rick Carpiniello\’s world of sports

Is this the center of the world?

January

The Phoenix area has the Super Bowl, and you sure can’t mistake that around town, or out in Glendale and that stadium that looks like the Hindenburg.

It’s everywhere you look, just as every Super Bowl city, with posters stories high of Michael Strahan and Tom Brady, and NFL and SBXLII logos plastered everywhere.

But there’s more. Much more. The FBR Open, the most rowdy and fan-friendly tournament on the PGA Tour, is in town this weekend. Phil Mickelson speaks today. Tiger’s not here, because he gets millions to play elsewhere.

Then there’s politics. Arizona’s John McCain is coming off his big victory in Florida, is expected to get Rudy Giuliani’s endorsement when Rudy drops out, and all the candidates from both parties will be flying into the Phoenix area to prepare for Tuesday’s primary here.
