10 Things I Think I Think Super Bowl Eve Edition

1. The Colts are going to win tomorrow. (Update: As usual, my prognostication skills sucked.)
2. I base this prediction on having run the game in Madden 2010 ten times with the Colts winning 8.
3. I doubt whether Lucian Bebchuk owns Madden 2010, which probably explains a lot about our relative standing as corporate law professors.
4. Pierre Garcon will be the Super Bowl MVP.
5. I base this on nothing but a gut feeling.
6. Speaking of my gut: A dinner of steak, potatoes, and arugula salad with a good red wine, followed by a cigar and some Tawny Port is a wonderful way to end the day.
7. Chicago's transformation from the City of Broad Shoulders to the Nanny State makes me sad.
8. Andrew Sullivan's beard is going grey. So is my goatee. One of us is using Just for Men hair dye. One of us isn't.
9. My frustrated desire to be a successful standup comedian sometimes bites me in the ass, with yesterday's faculty meeting being a good example.
10. I've owned some great cars. The pre-emissions control Olds 88 with a 455 Rocket V8. The Cosworth Vega. The BMW M3 convertible. The Porsche 911. But I've never loved a car as much as my new Mercedes E550. The combination of technological bells and whistles, comfort, and power is just right. More later.

sedan or coupe?

The 455 was a really great engine, and the back seat was big enough............ ah, you know.

Do we get to hear the story about the faculty meeting?

Steve, you were very funny. But I will divulge no confidences unless you give permission.
