The Super Bowl payoff: A kind word

Really, is there anything more we wanted out of the Super Bowl than this tweet from a Sports Illustrated icon?

MINNEAPOLIS-At MSP. Wanted to to tell the people of Minnesota how awesome you are. For 8 days, you all welcomed the world. Woman in security just said, “I hope you had a wonderful time and come back.” From ice-fishing to Fulton Brewery to Pizzeria Lola, a great week. Thank you.

King’s ice-fishing video on Prior Lake, by the way, was a classic.
