Harbaugh Bowl: Will We All Starve on Super Bowl Sunday?

First things first, ask any one of my friends and they’ll tell you that there is no one that likes buffalo wings more than I do! They are quite possibly the best food on the planet and they go hand in hand with sports, and in particular, football.

That’s why I almost lost my mind when I read there is a possible chicken wing shortage! No chicken wings means no buffalo wings and shock quickly ran through me when I thought of the prospect of not having buffalo wings to eat for the Super Bowl. I clung to the hope that the rumors weren’t true and I took to the computer to hopefully find erroneous reports. Thankfully I did!

According to rawstory.com, there is nothing to fear. Of course, that wasn’t enough for a person who could live on buffalo wings alone so I read on and found the money quote from Tom Super from the US Department of Agriculture.

“There will be no wing shortage,” he said. “They might be a little more expensive, but there is and will be plenty to go around.”

Expensive, who cares about expenses at a time like this? The important thing is that we, especially me, can enjoy our Super Bowl Sunday with a nice plate, or two, of wings in front of us. The Super Bowl will not be ruined and I can get back to being excited about watching football for the last time this season.

You can cancel the fire department; I’m climbing down from the ledge.
