Super Bowl Sunday

[DrRalph]

Good morning and welcome to Super Sunday. Since most of the nation has been blessed with really crappy weather, we are guessing that many of you will spend the day and evening watching the the coverage from South Florida, where it's a balmy 60 degrees. So who do you think will win: Saints or Colts?

No dog in the game, New Orleans wins both ways. Manning too good for 'em though. Grilling pizzas before the game. Beer, Pizza, Football. Cool poll Doc.

PS- Picked up some Laughing Skull Beer (the revived Vortex label from Red Brick Brewery in Atlanta) so we'll be cracking open a few skulls later this afternoon too.

don't care about game or the commercials. SB is a media event

generally, the best football happens in the playoffs.

Best playoff decision: Colts letting Jets into the playoffs to knock off San Diego for them.

that decision might have won the SB for them.

Last night my brothers' and I were guessing which songs The Who will play. Our concensus was My Generation, Behind Blue Eyes and Won't Get Fooled Again. I'm really excited to see them!

My mom lives in the the city and says that the excitment is palpable. Street cars and buses have WHO DAT and GO SAINTS on their route signs, everybody wearing black and gold -

Judging from the excitment in the city (New Orleans) these last two weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing the WHO DAT cheer from the city about 55 miles away!!

From SportsIllustrated.com:
Who Dat?" Saints supporters will bellow for four uninterrupted hours this Sunday, but at the commencement of the Super Bowl's halftime show the younger demographic among the expected 100 million American viewers will likely ask a far less rhetorical question, triggering Abbott-and-Costello-type routines.
Younger viewer: Who's that?
Older viewer: The Who.
Younger viewer: [quizzical look].
For mid-game entertainment, the NFL has selected a British group that was formed during the LBJ administration. This makes five of the past six years that the Super Bowl halftime act has featured performers whose ages qualified them for membership in the AARP. Prince, the outlier, was 48 when he took the stage in 2007.
No disrespect to the legendary and beloved Who (and none to Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Prince, the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney), but a great many viewers will have no idea what a pinball machine is, let alone how to become a "wizard" on one. The league, though, is happy, Jack. "We select acts with songs that are familiar, widely popular and accessible to a large and diverse audience, and that translate well to a stadium venue," e-mails NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, who also points to the Super Bowl pregame show, which this Sunday will have Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry.
"We also prefer acts that are not overexposed," adds Aiello. Overexposure was precisely the problem the last time the Super Bowl produced a memorably edgy halftime, in 2004, when a 23-year-old Justin Timberlake revealed a bit more of a 37-year-old Janet Jackson than expected. So Lady Gaga will probably have to come up with another way to occupy herself next Feb. 6, when Super Bowl XLV is played in Cowboys Stadium.
