Jay Parry is the CEO and president of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee.

Glendale hosted the Super Bowl in 2008, and will again next year, and that means members of the Arizona Super Bowl host committee are in chilly New York and New Jersey this week, in the run-up to this year’s game.

Jay Parry is the committee’s president and CEO. We spoke on Tuesday by phone from New York, and I had to start with the issue that has almost overtaken the game itself.
