Super Bowl in Miami; Prince, Paupers and A Nice Ring to it All

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through an off-season, so over the holidays I tried not to drink myself into oblivion, and I watched football games. I asked my two year old to help me pick playoff winners, and when it was all said an done he had picked Bears over the Chargers in the Super Bowl. Nice.

Knowing that a toddler pick games better than professionals on TV, I saw no reason to NOT buy case of Premium beer last weekkend, and start a new website called Twinnin.com. (It's under contstruction). On the Eve of Twinsfest, I feel asleep in my home office and had the following visions:

I don't know why, but I think Marvin Harrison finally gets his first playoff TD, Dallas Clark scores twice, and Adam the South Dakotan Vinatieri actually does something big in a game, like kick a winning field goal with time running out.

Hmm sounds familiar.

Super Bowl Prediction: Colts 27, Bears 24. But wait, I see more in the magic Premium beer can...

I seem to remember a time when the Chicago Bears got their ass kicked by Minnesotan wearing purple in a contest of sorts for the highest of honors in their profession. The Bears vs. Prince will be rematch at Super Bowl XLI.

From Kottke.org, "

The "Super Bowl Shuffle" earned The Chicago Bears a [1987] Grammy nomination for best Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance - Duo or Group. They lost to Prince and the Revolution's "Kiss". Prince, my all time favorite musician will get to play the half-time show on the World's biggest stage.

SUPER BOWL XLI HALFTIME PERFORMER: PRINCE COMMERCIAL

I have been to nine Prince concerts in my lifetime from the Purple Rain tour to last year's show with Tamar and the sexy Twins. At that show, I had the great privilege of "showing the light" to my best friend Saueey, a hard core AC/DC rocker. Saueey had always ridiculed and mocked my choice of all-time guitar legend, but was impressed beyond words after hearing Prince live.

SUPER BOWL XLI HALFTIME PERFORMER: PRINCE WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT Part I

In is words, upon experiencing just 1/2 hour of the Royal one's guitar at close range (3rd Row, right in front of his highness), Saueey looked me dead in the eye and said,

"HOLY Sh*t! That Mother Fu*a can play! I had no idea he was this good."

NFL fans, metal heads, and homophobes, PREPARE yourself...His name is PRINCE, and he will, he will, rock you.

PREDICTIONS FOR XLI:

My biggest prediction: Prince will be an NFL Legend after Super Bowl Sunday, and the VIKINGS will finally get him to write a team song that kicks ass. Prince is the only guy in Purple, from Minnesota, who will ever perform at clutch time in a Super Bowl. He is a legitimate Hall of Famer, inducted to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland just two years ago.

The Best Commercial will be Bird vs. Magic. NEXT GENERATION (?). I predict Peyton Manning will cry like a baby, and get the next Campbell's Soup Commercial, featuring a TEAM DAD and a TEAM BROTHER, but Dallas Clark goes to Disney World.
