It’s the Super Bowl, homeboy!

“Super Bowl, homeboy!” Say what you want about Randy Moss, but he was always good for a quote, wasn’t he?

The Super Bowl kicks off in a few hours. Some watch the big game for commercials. Others for the halftime show. And there are actually some people watching just because they like football. Crazy, huh?

The Super Bowl marks, in my opinion, the end of a fun sports season too. When you think about it, we enter into a real sports lull until March Madness (although MLB pitchers and catchers report for spring training in a couple of weeks).

My prediction for the game? Patriots 31, Giants 27.

This is a great matchup of two teams with some big-time weapons on offense and questionable defenses. I’ve gone back and forth on what team I think will win. Ultimately, I just don’t want to pick against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

Finally, I leave you with a halftime show from years past. In fact, it was 10 years ago that U2 played the Super Bowl, the first of which to occur after 9/11. Fantastic performance. When I see the names of the  victims scrolling behind the band, it still gives me chills.
