The Super Bowl Belongs To Jesus

[Political Tiger]

TAMPA - Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!

It's a plane towing a "Super Bowl Champion is Jesus" banner!

Weather permitting, that's the message scheduled to fly over the Tampa Bay area from 1 to 4 p.m. today and Saturday.

"We advertise everything else in the skies, from Hooters to Budweiser. Why not the Lord?" says Jack Kelley, a retired pastor from Tampa. He coordinated the effort with Richard Norman, a retired airline pilot from Tallahassee.

This is the sixth time - three at the Miami Super Bowls, and two others in Tampa - that the banner has graced Florida's airspace in the days before the big game.

The men solicited donations to underwrite the $4,300 cost to rent the service from Van Wagner Aerial Media in Hollywood, Fla.

Kelley thinks it's worth every penny.

"God doesn't care who wins the Super Bowl. He's concerned about the players, the fans and everyone else," he says. "If the world ever needed some good news, it's right now, today."

The plane will loop over the beaches from Clearwater to St. Petersburg, and then circle around Tampa.

1. My airplane banner would read:

.... Allah Akhbar!

It would be fun at a NASCAR race, too.

2. Fun yes, but coming up with symbols primitive enough for neck-car yahoos to comprehend

might be a tough job...
