Las Vegas Volunteers Needed For The Big Game in 2024
Have you ever wanted to go to the biggest game of the NFL season but just couldn’t afford those ticket prices? Who can blame you! If you’ve dared to look at ticket prices for this year’s big game in Glendale AZ, you might have just fallen off your chair.
If you do want to go see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles on February 12th, the STARTING price per ticket is $5,525. That’s over ten grand if you and a friend or family member want to go together. And even if you’re a lone wolf when it comes to live games, that’s still a lot of cheese.
Forget that noise. As you might have heard, Las Vegas is hosting the NFL championship next year. The big game will be on February 11, 2024 at Allegiant. But part of getting to host the most famous football game of the year is providing our own workers.
About 10,000 of them, to be more exact. Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee has announced that they are in need of volunteers that can help in a myriad of ways. From welcoming people to the game to interacting with media personnel. And the committee is looking for people who can provide “an unparalleled level of hospitality that only Vegas can deliver”, according to fox5vegas.com.
There’s no telling how much you’d actually get to watch the big game, if at all. But I’d say there’s a chance you’ll get to catch at least some of it. And you’d be right in the middle of the action. Not a bad payment for a day of free work. And it’s the first time Allegiant Stadium will be hosting, so it’s a moment in history you might not want to miss.

And The Next Tom Brady Is...
It’s a question that might tick many a sports fan off. Because, seriously. How does one even compare to the G.O.A.T. of professional football? Maybe nobody can. But let’s not forget the mind blowing that John Madden did back in 2002. When he compared a young Tom Brady to Joe Montana. It was almost blasphemy to some Montana fans. Let’s refresh our memories.
Madden said “I hate what I’m going to say, but I’m going to say it anyway, Tom Brady and his calmness reminds me of Joe Montana. I’m not saying Tom Brady is Joe Montana, but I’m saying the way he gets back there and makes everything look so effortlessly and easy, he reminds me of Joe Montana” (cbssports.com).
Madden was reluctant to even suggest someone might compare to Montana. And yet here we are. Rowing the same boat. Saying nobody can compare to Tom Brady. He is truly an amazing athlete. And I’m not saying we will find that guy that will be the new Brady. I’m just saying we shouldn’t rule it out.
AND let’s not forget that Tom Brady was drafted 199th. In the 6th round. His performance at the 2000 NFL Combine was viewed as average by many. His physical prowess during those sprinting and passing rounds weren’t the most impressive. He was called skinny and sluggish. And he set one of the poorest sprinting times of that year, according to sportskeeda.com.
Now, 23 years and seven Super Bowl rings later, he’s considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. All this from the kid who was a backup quarterback at Michigan and the seventh quarterback picked at the 2000 NFL draft.
And where are the first six quarterback picks of that same year? Pennington, Carmazzi, Redman, Martin, Bulger, and Wynn. Those names ring a bell? Probably not to the average fan. Not one of those first six draft picks are still playing in the NFL, let alone breaking NFL records.
It just goes to show you, you never know where greatness can come from when it comes to sports. With that being said, here are a few quarterbacks that might just have a chance at being the next NFL G.O.A.T. – Wendy Rush
