Exclamation NFL Week 21 SUPER BOWL!!!

One game.

Much anal-ysis is possible, yadda yadda yadda....bottom line:

AFC #1 versus NFC #1, the entire season both teams have been the team to beat, and now it's down to this.

What do I think?



Really?

...does ANYONE need to ask?



Let me just post a photograph that will answer this question - please forgive the mis-dating on it, this was written by Glenn from Bass Specialties, in the midst of a night of MANY beers, with Greg from Rocket Music as a witness, and primary instigator (also, thankfully with a couch that my drunk @$$ could sleep on afterward). I believe THIS will let everyone know where I have been all season - this is not dated on the napkin, but there are two reliable witnesses as to the simple fact that this was written the second week of the preseason :

Actually the only writing I did on that napkin was my signature, I believe Glenn wrote the "Love" part...

...however, I do love those guys, in a completely heterosexually-approved manly way...

The prediction is completely wrong. The superbowl will not be played in January 2010.

OK guys, bring any discrepancies with dates and team names up with Glenn at Bass Specialties, I only signed it, Greg is only holding it.

I posted this in the OT Super Bowl thread, but in case some of you don't check there, here's a bit of fun from the lawyers at the NFL:

http://www.usatoday.com/money/indust...k_N.htm?csp=34

...excuse me, but we used "Who Dat!" in New Orleans BEFORE THERE WAS AN NFL...ever hear of public domain?

Hey Gard,

So if the Saints win, will there be a Saints themed Roscoe bass in the works? Something w/black & gold hardware (black tuners w/gold gear caps & peg ends), maybe one of those RMC piezo black & gold bridges, fluer de lis icons on a black background on gold knobs, maybe a 12th fret inlay reminiscent of the Suberbowl rings they'll have made?

Pitbull, I've actually asked Gard this myself.

My Vote would be this;

Roscoe Black & Gold Finish

Black Hardware

12th Fret Fleur De Lis

Etc

Of course the tonal specs'll be left to the man himself

God Bless, Ray

Joe, yup, that's an "average" Nawlins girl. Ever hear this tune:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsRZ_O8AW9w

....that about covers it...



Pitbull, nothing "official" in the works yet...gotta be careful with that stuff, you know how the NFL deals with people that mis-appropriate their trademarked logos and such...I'm worried that they'll be coming after Roscoe Guitars, Inc. soon over the "black gold" finish we offer.

Y'know if there's a nickel in it, the hounds will give chase. I betcha somebody could make Lions, Browns, Rams, Bucs Tees without a peep.

Go to the show and they come out of the woodwork.

God Bless, Ray

Word.

Pathetic display of greed and avarice from the NFL home office. I hope those responsible are terminated with extreme prejudice for both being total morons and for not doing their due diligence that is part and parcel of being a corporate lawyer. Fact: the phrase "Who Dat!" was trademarked in 1983 by Who Dat, Inc., a New Orleans based company. How do you trademark another company's trademarked property?

A trade mark is lost if the owner doesn't defend it. So, if the phrase has been used by everybody and there was no action by the owner to stop it, then they lose the trademark. Xerox had a big campaign to get people to stop using the term Xerox when they wanted a copy of something. I believe the term "Aspirin" was once trademarked too. Now it's just a generic term.

So, not defending the NFL, but they may have researched and found that the term was up for grabs.

Is this visual example of "My Little Pony" roid rage?? An over indulgence of steroids in an attempt to compensate for the gelding they are about to suffer?? Clearly a candidate for the Glue Factory.... As the Colts will be when the Saints put the Big Hurt on them...
