NFL Network showed a retrospective on that halftime show this week. When the production staff realized it was going to be raining during the halftime show, they broke the news to Prince, figuring he would be upset and want to postpone his performance. His response was, “Can you make it rain harder?”

That was the first thing I thought of when reading that question. Yes, that justifies putting an original track on a greatest hits album.

Nope, WCW.

Corey is well on his way to being the Bobby Heenan of this era. I mean that as the highest praise possible.

I thought the women’s RR was really good, and all the non-roster participants did a great job. Even Vickie Guerrero. It was a comedy spot, and done well. But it’s a shame that Alicia Fox wasn’t in the RR, I have to say.

I do. I find it soothing. There aren’t many network shows left with a relaxed pace like that.

I have nothing but love in my heart for you today.

As a Vikings fans, I did most of the things on that list. Missing, however, is the very first reaction I had: flipping double-birds at my TV and shouting, “FUCK YOU, JOE BUCK!”

No, both teams were out of timeouts.

There was an interview 20 years ago or so where Clapton was asked, “How does it feel to be the world’s greatest guitar player?” His response was, “I don’t know, why don’t you ask Prince?”

This was my first thought. I work with a few Brits, and they’ll start tossing that word out after a few drinks. It doesn’t go down so well here at bars in the States.

Counterpoint: Scott Steiner.

OK, I finally watched it...resisted for awhile because I nearly had a rage stroke last year when Miller said the Emma Lazurus poem on the Statue of Liberty has no importance “because it was added after the statue was built”. Which is a fucking lie, but I digress...

“Speedbump McGee”. That’s good.

Ah. Thanks.

I could swear Steve Young did it as well...

You mean the guy who made $16.5 million over his career and has a Super Bowl ring as Eli’s backup? That former shitty quarterback?

A guy I went to high school with drank Special Ex and nothing else. He said he knew for a fact that “they” put a shot of whiskey in each can/bottle before sealing it up.
