SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY -- One of the biggest private super bowl parties in our area was at the home of a man related to the New Orleans Saints head coach.
Scranton native Jim Corbett hosted a Saints Super Bowl party at his Sanders Street home. He invited more than 150 friends and relatives to root for the Saints and coach Sean Payton, who's Corbett's first cousin.
Corbett's house is decked out in Saints pictures, football gear and other team memorabilia. He gushes about his famous football relative. "He is just a wonderful. Hard working, very intelligent, cheerful, bright, friendly... every good thing you could say about a person and he deserves the success that he's going to have today," said Corbett.
Many of Corbett's party guests flew or drove-in from other parts of the country. And some who couldn't make it in will Skype online with Corbett and his party crowd during the game. | |
