Super Bowl

Of course, DR Jack must provide a Super Bowl prediction. So here it is. The game will be lousy, with lots of turnovers and errors. The commercials will fail to inspire, even though they will be expensive. Expect lots of beer commercials and perhaps a few from the ailing American automanufacturing companies - mostly truck commercials. The half-time show will put most folks to sleep, except those hoping desperately to see a wardrobe malfunction. But don't count on that.

In 150 years, when the Super Bowl is played in Denver every year because global warming will have flooded places like Miami, Los Angeles and New Orleans, and the temperature in Denver during February will be a happy 72, we will look back at the 2007 Super Bowl and say, "That was the beginning of the end for pro football, we just didn't know it yet." Why? Because the advertising revenue isn't keeping up with player and coaches salaries, the spectators at the game are not fans, but are simply there to see the spectacle, and the game never lives up to the hype.
