Much of the talk surrounding the February 2014 Super Bowl in New York has focused, unsurprisingly, on the weather.

Considering that the Super Bowl is held in a warm weather climate year after year, the NFL reached uncharted waters by deciding to have the game in the New York City metro area in the middle of winter.

The weather in East Rutherford, N.J. -- home of the New York Giants and New York Jets and right across the water from Midtown Manhattan -- is looking fairly mild for the Super Bowl, especially considering the cold weather that has plagued New York throughout the course of the winter. The temperature is expected to hover around the mid-30s at kickoff on Sunday and there is a slight chance of snow, according to AccuWeather. The normal temperatures directly contradict the months of talk and marketing that went into the possibility of a snowy, bitterly cold Super Bowl reminiscient of what we might find in Green Bay during the postseason. But it just does not look like it will be all it was hyped up to be.

Nevertheless, there are still a number of people who are upset with the Super Bowl being in the cold weather when it could have been in a warmer climate.

"The weather's going to be a problem," coaching legend Mike Ditka said to The Detroit Free Press. "They made a big mistake. The game shouldn't be there. I mean, it's stupid."

Ditka went on to explain why he feels that particular way about the Super Bowl being in New York.

"First of all, it's not fair to the players," Ditka said. "It's not going to be fair to the fans. It's not going to be that enjoyable. I mean, I understand it's the Super Bowl and it's a privilege to play in the Super Bowl. It'd be nice to be playing in Miami or San Diego or New Orleans or somewhere the weather is conducive to guys being able to show their talents."

What do you think about Ditka's comments? Do you think it is good that the Super Bowl is in a colder climate for a change? Let us know what you think!
