I'm picking the Colts to cover the six-point spread in Sunday's Super Bowl and I'm taking the over on Pete Townshend's windmilling during the halftime show.
In addition to offering a slew of betting angles on the game, the online gambling site bodog.com is giving some action on The Who's halftime performance. The over-under number on Townshend's trademark windmill move is five (meaning I predict he will do it more than five times) and he'll probably top that on the intro to the first song.
And if Townshend smashes his guitar, bodog also is offering the following odds on what the guitar hits first:
- Floor 2-3
- Speaker 2-1
- Microphone 3-1
- Drummer 100-1
- Fan 100-1
Some words of guitar wisdom from Randy Bachman (Bachman Turner Overdrive, the Guess Who) extracted from this interview:"The guitar is the most popular instrument in the world ... It's the only instrument that you put your arms around. You hold it right to your chest and it becomes part of you. To be a guitar player is the most fantastic and exhausting thing" ...
And here's one T-shirt you never want to wear:

I'll take the Saints and unders on the windmill.

Actually, regardless of who won the game, Peter Townshend doesn't smash guitars any more, or windmill a whole lot: he has shoulder problems (no surprise).
Well, I got the Saints but didn't see the halftime show. What was the number of windmills?

SG -- I didnt get an exact count but it was definitely more than five. however, you might have to let the judges determine what constitutes a windmill. a lot of them seemed to be half-windmills and there was none of the furious continuous windmilling he did in his youth, probably because of the shoulder mentioned by black pete.
