I just wrote all this by myself :shifty: :roll:

When Brett Favre was singing the ridiculously enjoyable "Pants on the Ground" song from "American Idol" in a happy Vikings locker room last week, I had an epiphany: They'd sing it again in New Orleans, and then the "Pants on the Ground" guy would show up for the Super Bowl. I tried to shake it off. A few days later, Prince announced that he had written a Vikings fight song called "Purple and Gold," telling a TV station that it happened on Monday night because "I saw the future."

At this point, I was super-intrigued. The "Pants on the Ground" guy teaming up with Prince? The Vikings were suddenly unstoppable! This was bigger than all of us! I was ready to pick them for the upset ... and then ... well ... I heard the song. Are you kidding me? He could have changed the lyrics of "Darling Nikki" to "Darling Sidney" and it would have gotten the Vikes more fired up than "Purple and Gold." Quite simply, it's the worst sports song ever made by someone who actually has talent. Even worse, now he's stolen the "Pants on the Ground" guy's thunder and sent the Vikes back to square one, karmically. Not since "Under the Cherry Moon" has Prince been responsible for something this indefensible. I can't believe it. A feel-good Vikings season may have been derailed by a guy who's 5-foot-1 and probably can't throw a football eight yards. You couldn't make this stuff up.

The Pick: Saints 34, Vikings 27.
