"I think it’s retarded,” Flacco said at yesterday’s press conference before catching himself. “I probably shouldn’t say that. I think it’s stupid. If you want a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium. Then you can get one. Other than I don’t really like the idea. I don’t think people would react very well to it, or be glad to play anybody in that kind of weather.”

Flacco made the remarks at the Ravens first pre-Super Bowl media session last night and will surely be explaining himself more today, both about his use of the derogatory term and his views on a New Jersey Super Bowl. Stay tuned.
