   The team that wins will have scored more points than the team that loses.

   I will be sitting next to Deron reading magazines while he watches the game. I do think those Cheeseheads are going to win, though. They have the coolest hats.

   Based on what people were loading into their carts at Kroger this AM, I predict a big spike in heart attack and stroke statistics.

   Velveeta cheese food product and Hormel canned chili lead directly to tailgating with the angels.

   Well – I do like Arizona (the state) so I guess I’ll back them for no other reason than that! I know that they have the worst record coming into the game, so, I may be backing the underdog as well – everybody loves an underdog, right?

   At least three companies will reassure us of their financial stability via commercials; two of them will be lying.

   More people that I know will say they watched it for the commercials than will admit to enjoying football, and I’m sure at least a couple of flockers will be in the same boat.

   As long as the Cardinals have a score that ends in 2 and Pitsburgh’s score ends in a 6, I couldn’t care less.

   I really wish I cared more about the Super Bowl. I haven’t followed football in several years. I do want to watch the halftime show, though. Isn’t it Springsteen and the E Street band?

   no nipples–alas.

    I’m watching the game. I’m in Pittsburgh. I root for the Steelers because of the joy a win will bring to my city. (To give you a sense of the passion – went to an acoustic show in a bookstore café today, and half of the alt-folk crowd were wearing team jerseys. A sketch is here.)

    Oh, yes!

    Say, I know a cute story about the Steelers. (Yes, a cute story about the Steelers.)

    Till her family moved to Texas when she was fifteen, my dear friend Lee lived in Pittsburgh. She’s smart as a whip, and when she was an itty-bitty thing, she made an analogy.

    “Chicago has a baseball team, the Cubs, and a football team, the Bears. Cubs — Bears. Cubs — Bears.

    “We have a baseball team, the Pirates. And a football team.

    “The Stealers.

    “Pirates — Stealers. Pirates — Stealers.

    “Pittsburgh Stealers.”

    I don’t really wanna see Bruce Springsteen’s nipple thanks.

13. Cooper Renner on February 1st, 2009 at 7:40 pm

    I hear Bruce has two nipples.

    Prediction: already wealthy guys get even wealthier.

    Pittsburgh

    What was Bruce Springsteen’s surprise? Was it the ref?
