MODERATOR: Which two playoff teams face off in the Super Bowl, and who wins it all?
JIMMY: Colts vs. Vikings, and the Colts win on a stellar performance by Peyton Manning yet again.
NIKKI: The Colts!
JAKE: Colts vs. Cowboys, with the Cowboys winning it all. I’d like to see Tony Romo finally get over his muffed snap in Seattle.
MATT: The Cardinals and Colts will face off in the Super Bowl, and the Cardinals will win.
MODERATOR: Why is Brett Favre’s jersey still the NFL’s top seller?
JIMMY: Well, since he has played for the half the teams in the NFL, there are so many different jerseys to buy.
NIKKI: Because he’s a baller (no pun intended).
JAKE: It gets cold in Wisconsin, and burning firewood just doesn’t look as cool as flaming purple polyester.
MATT: He has managed to captivate fans over the years and through multiple retirements.
MODERATOR: Some football players give their coach a Gatorade bath after a big win. Come up with another celebration.
JIMMY: Well, if you’re from Texas Tech, lock him in an electrical closet. After all, it’s tradition.
NIKKI: They should all give their coach a big sweaty group hug.
JAKE: A Vitaminwater bath. And then if it’s the Super Bowl, tell him it was all just a big marketing scheme. (What else is there to work on during Super Bowl week?)
MATT: They should do a victory dance.
MODERATOR: Give the Bulls some advice about playing the Washington Wizards on Friday.
JIMMY: Bring something to defend yourself with, because word on the street is the Wizards have guns.
NIKKI: Don’t be afraid to pull some tricks.
JAKE: Leave any bombs, tanks or WMDs at home, even if they aren’t real. It’s just a little locker room humor. No need to set off the biggest “practical joke” war in NBA history.
MATT: Keep an eye out for their strong starting lineup and push their weak defense to the breaking point.
