Colts will handle their business. Saints aren't that good of a team.

I always thought his words were cast in stone, his pearls of wisdom a chart by which the rest of us could safely navigate the cruel seas of life.

I'm sure this is a defining moment in all our lives. Discovering the non-existence of Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth fairy were all painful childhood experiences. In later years, learning that Tony Blair was actually Margaret Thatcher in a wig also came as a bit of a jolt but to wake up on a cold February morning to learn that BF is not always right has turned my world upside down.

Look at his words closely: he said the Colts will "handle their business." It just so happens thier business is Losing The Superbowl. People often hear what they want to hear when an oracle speaks.

America's team my ass.


On Monday, Nagin said God wanted New Orleans to be predominantly black and said he didn't care what the predominantly white Uptown section of the city had to say about it.

"I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," he said. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."

After the statement, he insisted he wasn't being divisive.

"How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about," he said. "New Orleans was a chocolate city before Katrina. It is going to be a chocolate city after. How is that divisive? It is white and black working together, coming together and making something special."

I didn't see all the ads but my favorite so far was the Troy Polamalu ad. Just the way he screams is classic.

And Jesus the Tim Tebow ad was about as inoffensive a commercial as I have ever seen. I was expecting fire and brimstone.

After it was over, I said, That's it? Especially after all the uproar over it.

How come no one got freaked out over a registered sex offender playing the half time show?

And speaking of The Who, it was like looking in a crystal ball for EATB.... Rather disturbing. Was Roger Daltrey drunk?

I guess if you think violence against women is inoffensive.

Said NOW president Terry O'Neill: "I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it." Ms. O'Neill continues: "That's what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don't find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself."
