There are 43 strip clubs in Tampa, one for each of the games ever played. While some of the locals ain't exactly pleased with this, the Tampa Tribune has a listing for those visiting town for the week.

Still, this isn't the stupidest thing about Super Bowls. Really, there are only three things to care about in Super Bowl Sunday:

1. The ads
2. The Halftime
3. (sorry Pittsburgh and Arizona, but) The Game

The only reason for the game is one last excuse to gamble on pro football, but enough about that later.

As Mr T once observed, predictions are a pain, but I will do my best on the day before the contest.

1. With FedEx and many others pulling their ads in this sorry economy, it is a virtual lock that Budweiser will "win" another Ad Bowl -- of the best (or most talked about) ad during the game, PLEASE no farting horses this time, eh?

2. The Boss, Mr Springsteen, will play four songs. He'll have to start with Born To Run, he'll plug his new album and title cut and finish with The Rising.

I'd love it if he played something like Tenth Avenue Freezeout or Rosalita, but my guess is a staple from his political rallies of late, Promised Land

So, the prediction for halftime IS:

1. Born To Run
2. Waiting On A Dream
3. Promised Land
4. The Rising (with a likely cast of thousands onfield for the finale).

Now, if you care about the game.

Pittsburgh has had two weeks to plan a defense for Larry Fitzgerald -- my guess is that Troy Polamalu will shadow him all day. The Steelers will run the ball at will and smack the Arizona Cardinals around -- make it 34-17, Steel CIty.

Why do I think Super Bowls are stupid? Because they make people think that pro football and the NFL started in 1970.

If the Steelers win on Sunday, their fans will giddily announce, hey we've won SIX Super Bowls. I'll calmly reply, wonderful, that only puts you SIX NFL titles behind the Green Bay Packers!

Oh, but that's different, right? WHY!?

If we counted baseball titles like football, almost all of the Yankees' championships would be entirely devalued. (Not the worst idea, but...) That means, from Babe Ruth to DiMaggio to Mantle -- none of them ever won the big one!

In fact, the 1968 Baltimore Colts and 1969 Minnesota Vikings both WON NFL championships, you know, Because they lost to the AFL champs, they've been kicked to the history curb.

12 NFL titles. Good luck, Steelers, 49ers and Cowboys. You're still looking up at the REAL Title Town!
