Baba O’Pinball Tommy Who Won’t Get Fooled Wizard

Pete Townsend has announced that The Who will be performing a medley (yeah, I refuse to use the so-called term ‘mashup’) of some of their most well known songs during the Superbowl halftime show.

These aren’t really a surprise to anyone.

But anyway, it should be good! But hopefully not so good that it stops us doing the regular halftime activities of visiting the bathroom, topping up beer and grabbing a hotdog.

The Who to Play Super Bowl XLIV Half Time Show

Graham — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:50:09 +0000

I just had to get a post up about this today as I think it will be one best half time shows ever. I am a big Who fan (Can you tell?)

You can get the full story (such as it is) here …

So the question is, which tracks do you want to hear most?

The Best US Adverts I Saw This Week

One advantage (and some would mistakenly call it a disadvantage!) of NFL Gamepass - when it’s working – is that you get to see the great adverts the Americans get that we, in the rest of the world, don’t get to see.

Now while most of these are for trucks that are the size of small English towns or for food at a price of a 5 year old’s pocket money, there are some real gems.

Three, in particular, made me chuckle this week…

Firstly, Troy Polamalu sells me some Head and Shoulders:

Then Brett Favre makes me dislike him just a little bit less at Sears:

Then Erik Estrada just cracks me up. Sure, it’s a Tony Stewart advert, but a) I’ve barely heard of him, and b) Erik Estrada steals the show like this was Scrubs or something. I can’t link this one to the NFL… but it’s ERIK ESTRADA, PEOPLE!

Football Fun: The Dolphins Want to Sign….. You!

If you are a Dolphins fan and have ever dreamed of what it is like to be signed then check out this bit of fun from the Dolphins web site…

The Dolphins Sign You

Ok, so it might not feel that real, but it is as close as I am going to get. I wonder how much they are paying me, and if they know that I would be crippled by the first tackle? No matter it was worth it to get a glimpse at those cheerleaders!
