The law of averages says that Sunday's Super Bowl will be less than spectacular, but I have high hopes for the halftime show, given that Prince is the headliner. Some folks, most notably SI's Peter King, have been acting like the man dropped off the face of the earth after his mid-80s heyday. The fact of the matter is that there are few artists currently enshrined in Hall of Fame (Rock and Roll version, that is) who have been as prolific and consistent. In the past year or so I've managed to catch up on nearly everything he released in the 90s, and while it clearly doesn't reach the heights of his peak (or some of what has come after), it's all good-to-great.
That he'll be great on Sunday is probably the easiest prediction you can make about the entire festival.
If this (frequently hilarious) piece by David Mills doesn't psyche you up for what lies ahead, then you should probably just spend halftime loading up your plate.

Hey Jeff, thanks for pointing people to my blog! Can't wait for that halftime show (though I must say, I wasn't impressed with Prince's new lady drummer... she couldn't carry Sheila E.'s jock strap).
