Broadsword calling Danny Boy: The Super Bowl Shuffle; Chiefs (+2) as the Super Bowl safety now (+1000) | Eastern North Carolina Now

We are the Bears Shufflin' Crew
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you.
We're so bad we know we're good.
Blowin' your mind like we knew we would.
You know we're just struttin' for fun
Struttin' our stuff for everyone.
We're not here to start no trouble.
We're just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Walter Payton)
Well, they call me Sweetness,
And I like to dance.
Runnin' the ball is like makin' romance.
We've had the goal since training camp
To give Chicago a Super Bowl Champ.
And we're not doin' this
Because we're greedy.
The Bears are doin' it to feed the needy.
We didn't come here to look for trouble,
We just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Willie Gault)
This is Speedy Willie, and I'm world class.
I like runnin' but I love to get the pass.
I practice all day and dance all night,
I got to get ready for the Sunday fight.
Now I'm as smooth as a chocolate swirl,
I dance a little funky, so watch me girl.
There's not one here that does it like me,
My Super Bowl Shuffle will set you free.

(Mike Singletary)
I'm Samurai Mike I stop 'em cold.
Part of the defense, big and bold,
I've been jammin' for quite a while,
Doin' what's right and settin' the style,
Give me a chance, I'll rock you good,
Nobody messin' in my neighborhood.
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came to do The Super Bowl Shuffle

(Jim McMahon)
I'm the punky QB, known as McMahon.
When I hit the turf, I've got no plan.
I just throw my body all over the field.
I can't dance, but I can throw the pill.
I motivate the cats, I like to tease.
I play so cool, I aim to please.
That's why you all got here on the double
To catch me doin' the Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Otis Wilson)
I'm mama's boy Otis, one of a kind.
The ladies all love me
For my body and my mind.
I'm slick on the floor as I can be
But ain't no sucker gonna get past me.
Some guys are jealous
Of my style and class,
That's why some end up on their ass,
I didn't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just get down to The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Steve Fuller)
They say Jimbo is our man.
If Jimmy can't do it, I sure can.
This is Steve, and it's no wonder
I run like lightnin', pass like thunder.
So bring on Atlanta, bring on Dallas,
This is for Mike and Papa Bear Halas.
I'm not here to feather his ruffle,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Mike Richardson)
I'm L. A. Mike, and I play it cool.
They don't sneak by me 'cause I'm no fool.
I fly on the field and get on down.
Everybody knows I don't mess around.
I can break'em, shake'em,
Any time of day.
I like to steal it and make 'em pay,
So please don't cry to beat my hustle
'Cause I'm just here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Richard Dent)
The sack man's comin', I'm your man Dent.
If the quarterback's slow,
He's gonna get bent.
We stop the run, we stop the pass,
I like to dump guys on their ass.
We love to play for the world's best fans,
You better start makin'
Your Super Bowl plans.
But don't get ready or go to any trouble
Unless you practice
The Super Bowl Shuffle.

(Gary Fencik)
It's Gary here, and I'm Mr. Clean.
They call me "hit man,"
Don't know what they mean.
They throw it long and watch me run,
I'm on my man, one-on-one.
Buddy's guys cover it down to the bone,
That's why they call us the 46 zone.
Come on everybody let's scream and yell,
We're goin' to do the Shuffle,
Then ring your bell.

(William Perry)
You're lookin' at the Fridge,
I'm the rookie.
I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie.
You've seen me hit, you've seen me run,
When I kick and pass, we'll have more fun.
I can dance, you will see
The others, they all learn from me.
I don't come here lookin' for trouble,
I just came here to do
The Super Bowl Shuffle. - da Bears (46-10) 1.26.86


The Traveller and her Dad review the run-stopping equation.: Above.     Click image to enlarge.
    When defensive lineman William "The Fridge" Perry lined up at fullback and scored a one yard rushing TD in Super Bowl XX, the first Super Bowl proposition (prop) wager hit with a thunderclap. Opening at 20-1 that the rookie from Clemson would score a TD, as he had in the regular season, da Bears' loving public steamed the wager down to 4-1 by kickoff. Thus the Super Bowl prop wager was born.


    Super Bowl prop wagers are available on everything from the first missed field goal hitting the upright / crossbar (+2500) to an over/under on combined TD yardages for the game and everything in between. Think either Mahomes or Purdy will catch a pass? That is also (+2500). Bottom line is that with the explosion of online wagering platforms and the hard sell of this form of speculation to the youth, more wagers (the handle) go on props than the game outcome; the tail wags the dog, so to speak.

    With that in mind we asked the crowd what props they like in the Super Bowl:

    FARNELL: The safety, of course. Price is down to (+1000) but still our main move other than hedging the 'Niners (+1000) grabbed Labor Day weekend.

    WESTERBY: Both the Chiefs and '49ers are (+550) on the D/ST (defensive or special teams TD scored) and this price works. We like YES for a successful 2 pt conversion attempt (+265). This price is too high.

    HUGHES: We are here for the dosh, nothing else. If there are more field goals than TDs in the game the price is (+400). If they are both the same total then the price is (+800). We will take both of these.


    COLVIN: Like last season we found YES there will be a safety by penalty (+5700) in Macau. We will also take Deebo Samuel (+425) to score the first 49er TD.

    Assigning a nominal one unit to each play, we will be curious to see how this hypothetical portfolio turns out. However we have reality staring us straight in the face; the bottom line is we need winners, Man.

    Super Bowl week tells us a great deal about the mental state of the participants. Whether it is Joe Willie Namath poolside at the Fontainebleau in Miami guaranteeing victory for the 18 point underdog New York Jets, or McMahon tearing up the French Quarter in New Orleans during the week, true leaders know how to take the pressure off their team by shifting that burden to their shoulders.

    Mahomes is all you need to know in the match up versus Purdy. This week he will take the pressure and handle it. Since his explosion after the offside penalty in the first Buffalo match up this guy has been rock steady. Andy Reid is Andy Reid and nobody out coaches this guy with two weeks prep time.

    Our calls here are the CHIEFS (+2) for three units and one unit of D/ST (+550) on each team. We are getting Kansas City and Mahomes as an underdog after Detroit showed how to beat Frisco. Think of the Chiefs wide receivers as Knights in chess terms and the 49er receivers as Bishops. Mahomes hits the quick pitches after two up and one over and then counts on yards after catch to deliver. Purdy seeks to fianchetto his receivers like the Bishop on the long diagonal, the 49ers must have big plays to stay in the game.


    We like this set-up.

KANSAS CITY    23  •  SAN FRANCISCO    19

    We take a break from this space during February to prepare for the ACC Tournament and March Madness as the Wisconsins, Marquettes and Tar Heels of the world do their thing. Should that safety land in the Super Bowl then March ordnance will deliver Trommelfeur of a nature to make Hutier proud. March Madness money line dogs are the bleep and like 6's and 8's at the dice table are the key to any long roll piling up the chips in March.

    We don't want to cause no scuffle -- just gonna rock that Super Bowl shuffle.
