Super Bowl Props Part 1

There are a ton of them and I'm on them. Here's part 1 of my Super Bowl props:

From first note starts until she completes saying "Brave". All wagers have action, if she restarts for any reason, wager will start from restart. How long will it take Kelly Clarkson to sing the National Anthem? Under 1 minute 34 Seconds

What will Kelly Clarkson wear to sing the National Anthem? Anything else [besides NFL gear] -300

Will Madonna wear an NFL Jersey or shirt at any point during the Super Bowl Halftime show? Yes +250

Will Madonna be wearing fishnet stockings at any point during the Super Bowl Halftime show? No -110

Will Madonna wear a hat at any point during the Super Bowl Halftime show? Yes -140

From kick off until final whistle. Half-time does not count towards wager. Book manager's decision is final. How many times will David Tyree's 2008 Super Bowl catch be shown be shown on TV during the game?(4027) Over 1½ (EVEN)

How many times will Peyton Manning be shown on TV during the game? Over 3½ (-135)

This just scratches the surface. Part 2 prop bets tomorrow. Actual game stuff Sunday. Open Thread.

    In Wisconsin, Perp Walker lawyered up (none / 0) (#1)
    by Towanda on Fri Feb 03, 2012 at 04:58:43 PM EST
    (personal lawyers, it looks like, vs. hiring a while ago of former ADA Biskupic for the campaign) to "voluntarily" meet with Milwaukee's DA soon.

    This was our weekly Walker newsdump on Fridays, but I bet that he wishes that Wisconsinites were distracted by Super Bowl fever this weekend.  They will not be returning to its regularly scheduled programming, anytime soon.  Now the bets will be on more felonies vs. more misdemeanors; that's all.

    (Btw, yesterday's news was that a Dem county supervisor in Milwaukee went down in a sting.  Just so's the John Does are all fair and balanced.)

    And now, a new Friday newsdump (5.00 / 1) (#2)
    by Towanda on Fri Feb 03, 2012 at 05:09:00 PM EST
    that is a huge smackdown of the state Republicans, among them the Waukesha County judge who wildly exceeded requirements of the recall law in ruling that the state had to check every signature, which is the task of the challengers (Walker, his looey gov, the four Repub state senators) and lawyers.  The state office overseeing this is woefully unready for the task, and this was a ploy to delay the recall election for eons -- which would allow Walker to continue raking in millions from his out of donors, who already ponied up $12 million for him.

    This afternoon, the district court reversed the Waukesha County judge (btw, the son of a former member of the House, a rabid right-winger in the days when there were not so many of those), because he did not allow the recall groups to have their say.  Now, the case goes back to him to do so.   And all the while, Walker's forces of thousands of volunteers are perusing his copies of the petitions with a million signatures, and the other million to recall the other Repubs, and claiming fraud for what turn out to be perfectly legal things.  

    The place is crazy, local blogs are recording record hits, commenters are calling for duels, and lawyers are being hired right and left, literally.  I'm heading out for a fish fry, one of the continuities in life in the Midwest.

    that with Wisconsin being open voting, that a primary with multiple Dems could be won by write in for Walker with Republicans voting.

    Sounds like a desperate long shot for Walker, but is it possible?

    Yes, I read that's the latest (none / 0) (#8)
    by Towanda on Fri Feb 03, 2012 at 08:18:14 PM EST
    of many plans to disrupt the open primaries, following up on last summer's "fake Democrats" that cost the taxpayers millions for an unneeded primary election -- but, again, gave the Repubs being recalled time to raise more money.

    the idea that there are more betting possibilities that Carter has liver pills.

    Those described certainly are interesting.  Handicap-able is anyone's guess (bet) but are cool to read.

    Carter's Little Liver Pills-update. (none / 0) (#5)
    by KeysDan on Fri Feb 03, 2012 at 06:43:52 PM EST
    in 195l the FTC demanded a change in the name to "Carter's Little Pills", since the 'liver'  was deceptive.  The adage doesn't sound as good without the liver part, but the saying is just as moving without, as long as it continues to contain bisacodyl (aka Dulcolax, Ex Lax Ultra).

    My dog park makes the big time (none / 0) (#4)

    In this segment  from last night's Daily Show, Assif Manvi visits  my dog park hangout in Orlando! It is at the very end. Funny segment about Florida's law requiring welfare recipients to pass a drug test.  

    Wish I had been at the park when they visited! My dog would have been a lot better on TV than that one!

    How in the world (none / 0) (#7)
    by CoralGables on Fri Feb 03, 2012 at 06:53:10 PM EST
    did they call on Assif Manvi at a Scott press conference? Or was all that posed with fancy camera work.

    It actually happened back in December. This was one of the reports out of Tampa after it happened two months ago.

    "Former Tampa resident, onetime University of South Florida student and Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi made a little noise during Florida Gov. Rick Scott's announcement of the state's budget today, asking Scott to pee in a cup for a drug test"

    I'm headed to Mom's for the SB. Could make the game more fun for us.

    If there's a link and I missed it, point it out. Reading/posting from my Kindle :)

    about Madonna. Tim has had a busy week hanging with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models

    That's what happens when you don't get to play in the game.
