Why Bruce Springsteen Dictates the Super Bowl Winner
The NFL season finally begins tomorrow, and I need an excuse to finally have a post about Brett Favre. As a Jets fan I’ve been salivating thinking about the Jets this season - a QB with a rocket arm, a completely revamped O-Line, a revamped defense which is bound to bring pressure on opposing QB’s thanks to new acquisitions: Jenkins, Pace, and Gholston, and finally Special Teams genius Westhoff has announced his return. What more could a Jets fan ask for? How about a Super Bowl! This Super Bowl will mark exactly forty years since the Jets have won their last (sad isn’t it) - and wait, why does the number forty have significance? Because Brett Favre is #4, get it? Forty starts with four...Yeah, well the clues for a Jets Super Bowl don’t simply end there. This year the half time show will be put on by New Jersey’s own, Bruce Springsteen, and oh how ironic it is that the Jets play in Jersey. Not only that, but Bruce holds the record for the best ticket selling act in the Meadowlands Sports Complex - the exact home of the New York Jets.
If things are getting a little spooky, you haven’t heard the beginning! Lets close this post off with a bang. Lets do a little six degrees of separation with Bruce and Favre. We’ll start off with Bruce Springsteen who had performed with Danny DeVito for a Christmas Show at Asbury Park Convention Hall. DeVito directed the movie Duplex which starred Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller starred in There’s Something About Mary which featured a cameo from none other than Jet Favre... Oops I mean Brett Favre. There we have it, four people, Brett Favre is number four, it’s been forty years. My God! It’s fate, the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl!

This is the time where the Mad hatter, in his wandering travails, taps you on the shoulder and whispers, "Gouda cheese."
Sorry Jeff. I used to watch the Jets practice at Hofstra University when Bill Parcells was the chief; I got to put Keyshawn Johnson in his place when I was a student there; and Wayne Chrebet, bless little people, was a hometown hero. But these, and not even Favre, are going to take away from the fact that the Jets, not anytime soon -- truth be damned, seers be squelched, tea be made -- will will the Super Bowl this year.
Your logic makes perfect sense to me....I think I'll be a Jets fan this year just for the hell of it. I don't have a team anymore! Well I guess the Chargers....
Hatter - I'm as big as a pessimist as they come, especially when it comes to the Jets, and my pessimisim probably derrives from the Jets. I just need a little hope for once...
Layla - Why not, the Jets could use all the help they could possibly get.
What amazing coincidences--you'd make a great conspiracy theorist!
I have an even more amazing one for you:
Brett Favre was in the movie Reggie's Prayer in 1996 with Pat Morita. Morita was in 1972's Every Little Nook and Cranny with Dom Deluise, who in turn was in Norwood in 1970 with ...
Joe Namath!
Congratulations in advance on your Lombardi Trophy.
David - You just blew the lid off of possibly the most important clue! I think it would be impossible for any other team to win the Super Bowl after all this evidence...
Too bad they can't beat a heavily favored Colts team again (I guess they could in the AFC Championship). Believe it or not, there are still people in Baltimore who hate the Jets over SB III, albeit not as many as hate the Indy Colts even though Bob Irsay is dead.
Bob - It was pretty dispicable what Irsay did. How can you move a cities beloved team overnight??? In all honesty, I never knew the people of Baltimore still had it out for the Jets. I must say though, I love going to Baltimore and visiting the local restaurants and seeing the pride they have in their football history. It's pretty cool seeing all the pictures of Johnny U and the big black hightops in each place along with all the old Colts memorabilia.
Well, if I lived in Baltimore, Peter Angelos would be my Public Enemy Number One.
Hatter - I had to look that name up, I didn't know who he was. Being that I like football more than Baseball I think I would probably hate Irsay more, even though that event occured FARRR before I was even born.
Congrats. Your team played pretty well, and that Packer who put on the wrong uniform did very well!
