Confusion leads to blissful halftime performance

(Reuters)

As soon as I saw 300 men covered (barely) in armor, I was sold on Super Bowl XLVI’s halftime show.  Somehow things proceeded to get infinitely weirder from that point forward.  It was the strangest half-time show I’ve ever seen, dwarfing the infamous wardrobe malfunction, and I loved every second of it.  The only Madonna songs I know are Like a Prayer and Like a Virgin, but this small fact was simultaneously completely irrelevant and relevant.  It was irrelevant because despite not knowing any of her songs, I thoroughly enjoyed whatever the hell was going on.  However, it’s also totally relevant because I’m guessing most football fans (granted a lot of people watching the halftime show aren’t football fans) aren’t that into Madonna either.

You Wouldn't Pay to See the Wizards? I Would.

Instead of being bored to death with my family at Deep Creek Lake last night, I stayed home and went to the Washington Wizards home opener with two other LBS writers.  The Wiz will probably win no more than 15 games in the shortened NBA schedule, but for some reason I was excited to go.  Would the average fan pay to see a team whose only marquee player is John Wall? Probably not, but I thought writing an article about why I would pay would be interesting.  So, in the ten seconds prior to me beginning this article, I decided on three different things that will be included:

1) Why I love going to Wizards games despite the fact that they suck

2) My impressions of the team after the home opener

3) Music at the end of the post
