Yep, ttweak should have handled it:
For the second time in almost five months, Houston was rejected as a Super Bowl city.
NFL owners today awarded 2010’s Super Bowl to Miami.
Houston, Atlanta and Miami — the finalists that lost the 2009 Super Bowl that went to Tampa, Fla. — were the only cities being considered for Super Bowl XLIV that had been earmarked for New York if the city had approved a new stadium for the Jets.

McNair wrote every owner a letter this week asking them to support Houston.
“I think Houston deserves it, of course,” McNair said ahead of today’s vote. “You know, I’m even more proud of our city now than I was in May when we made our presentation, especially after the way the city opened its arms to the (Hurricane Katrina) evacuees. I hope when a city shows that kind of character that it’ll mean something to (the owners).” “”
