Super Bowl 2019: Roger Goodell writes apology letter to New Orleans Saints after Atlanta Falcons' successful bid

The Atlanta Falcons are officially hosting the 2019 Super Bowl. Their successful bid was approved earlier this week. But where there's a winner, there's always a loser. In this case, winning is just a little bit sweeter. Why? Because the Falcons beat out divisional rival New Orleans Saints.

Because the Saints have already hosted ten Super Bowls, I won't make this about them and I'll try not to get personal. To be frank, New Orleans is a fun place. Because it's a fun place, it's a good place to have a Super Bowl. But not this time. And when the league disappoints the Saints, they feel the need to write an apology letter.
