It's halftime of Super Bowl 40

It's halftime of the big game. The Rolling Stones? Heh. They look pretty good for old guys whose bodies have been assaulted by tobacco, drugs and alcohol for years. But are those pit people really necessary? I think the fans in the stands are rocking enough without it. Besides, they couldn't come up with any Motown talent? In Detroit?

So far it's been pretty good football. Both teams have made their share of mistakes, but they're both showing why they are there.

The officials, though. That touchdown of Pittsburgh's? Shouldn't have been called a touchdown. They are sure going to be sheepish when they watch the game films. But, since they were so close that the Steelers would probably have scored anyway, it's probably not that controversial. Still, it looked like a gimme, and this is the pros. They don't allow gimmes at the Masters' in Augusta, either.

And the jacket's off and Mick's singing and strutting "Satisfaction." After this half the fans will probably go home, forgetting they are at a football game instead of a Stones concert.

Let's play ball! Enough British hips!
