NFL - Are you Ready For Some Football?! Super Bowl Hunting

[duke o' york]

I've got Monday morning off work (with a possible sickie for the afternoon - 11pm kickoff here), and will be going round to my best mate's house to watch it with booze - so we don't have to pay any attention to the halftime show.

I'm hoping for a cracking game, but reckon the Steelers will walk it - which is fine by me.

This year the halftime show is actually decent rock ... The Boss

So cool, he was cool back in my high school daze

[-Jrabbit]

High school??? Grandpa, sounds like you are actually older than me (55).

[duke o' york]

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid (not that I even like tea - which dumps my British credentials). I'd prefer REM playing their really early stuff only, but that won't happen. Or Dr Funkenstein! Which won't happen either.

Hey! Last year was Tom Petty and 3 years ago there was the Stones (and prior to them Paul McCartney singing his Beatles songs).

Halftime has actually been good lately.

Ahem. While I admit i'm probably in the minority in thinking The Boss >> The Rolling Stones, it's a proud minority, damnit; and Tom Petty cannot be compared to either.

I won't even dignify the Paul McCartney bit with a remark.

Well I have a (n originally) French surname, so several hundreds of generations back, sort of. I also speak French, and am an unashamed francophile.

Regardless, which team was Sloww rooting for? I don't really like the Steelers or the Cardinals, but in view of recent events, I want to root for the team Sloww will be.

(sorry, can't be ar*ed to read the entire thread to find his team )

[snoopy369]

Sloww cheers for the Cowboys, duke. We Americans don't randomly change affiliations just because our team fails to make the playoffs. (Except Imran, but he hardly counts )

Holy **** you are nuts .

Springsteen is at the bottom of my list (we can say overrated, can't we?).

1) Stones
2) McCartney (singing Beatles songs)
3) Petty
4) Springsteen

[snoopy369]

As long as you are talking about the Rolling Stones, you can say overrated all you want

McCartney in 1960 was fantastic. McCartney in 2008 singing songs he sang in 1960 ... not so much. This is why God invented MP3's.

[Ben Kenobi]

yes, unfortunately he doesn't have a dog in this fight.

Get well soon Slowwy!
