Predictions For Super Bowl Weekend

My predictions for this weekend:

* The Cardinals will win the Super Bowl 24-20, stunning everyone.

* Kurt Warner will win the MVP, after throwing for about 275 yards with two TDs (the third Arizona TD will come from a Tim Hightower run; and they'll get a field goal to run it up to 24 points.)

* The first words out of Kurt Warner's mouth after the mic is put in front of it post-game will be ....First off, I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ.'' He may mix it up and say ....First off, I want to thank God.'' But I'm betting he'll go with Jesus.

* Most of the Super Bowl commercials will be lame, with the notable exception of two brilliant shills, one of which will be from a huge company like Taco Bell, the other of which will be from a much lesser-known company, probably some computer software outfit.

* Bruce Springsteen will play these four songs during halftime: ....The Rising,'' ....Glory Days,'' ....Born in the U.S.A.'' and ....Born To Run.'' He'll end his show with a rousing version of ....Born in the U.S.A. which will include a crapload of fireworks, confetti, people in red, white and blue and a sing-along with the chorus.

* All of the commentators talking about the game prior to kickoff will say, ....I know this is the Super Bowl, but this thing will have a hard time living up to the hype, pageantry, fireworks and kick-ass-ocity of yesterday's book signing by Sean Leary. He was at Barnes and Noble at NorthPark Mall in Davenport from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and he ROCKED THAT M-F'ER!!!!''

Find out for yourself if any of my predictions above are correct, starting on Saturday. Come on out to Barnes and Noble from 1 to 3 p.m., pick up a copy of my new book, MY LIFE AS A FREAK MAGNET: TRUE STORIES ABOUT WEIRDOS I'VE MET, or any of my other books, including EVERY NUMBER IS LUCKY TO SOMEONE, THE GIRL OF DREAMS AND MAGICK or EXORCISING GHOSTS, and then, as you're waiting for the Super Bowl to begin, enjoy reading any or all of them while eating some pizza and a giant plate of nachos.

Now THAT'S livin' my friends. THAT'S livin'.

Hope you all have a great weekend....
