After a cane-yielding Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey exited the Super Bowl stage with two other guys claiming to be members of The Who, one thing seemed evident: Janet Jackson’s nipple has forever altered the halftime show experience. Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and somehow, Prince have all performed since Jackson’s nipple made an unexpected appearance at Super Bowl XXXVIII. Now I wouldn’t consider any pre-or-post nipple performances “good” by any measure, but these recent halftime performers look like they would be a lot more comfortable in a Buick than anywhere near a stage.
Well, it’s finally official: LeGarrette Blount is a full fledged member of the Oregon Ducks football team. Two months after dropping an unsuspecting Boise State player with a beautiful disgraceful right hook, the Ducks announced Blount’s reinstatement in a press release on Monday. Blount, who was suspended for the season following the incident was reinstated after completing “academic and behavioral ladders.” You know, like attending class and stuff.
We here at the Voice are more than pleased with the reinstatement. Since the cash-strapped athletic program could no doubt use some assistance — and because we’re tired of renovating our office every year — we decided to spend some of our cash surplus on a gift that will no doubt make Blount’s transition a little smoother…
