Anyone happen to catch the pre game show to Monday Night Football? It included a performance by U2 minus Bono, but featuring Springsteen in the second set and a suitable "substitute" vocalist for the first set.
Anyhoo, I had no idea the Edge had introduced what appeared to be a couple of EC Champs to his backline. I also enjoyed the heartfelt performance by Springsteen, giving the songs a bit of his own flavor.

I did not.
By the way....how are the Dolphins 7 & 5 if they can only squeak past the 2 & 10 Jets by 3 lousy points? :roll:

Sorry; got nothing to add to the Springsteen / Edge part of this conversation. Never was a fan of either...but that's just me.

Very cool about Edge and his EC Champs. It was with some surprise that I discovered that 1000 dollar EC Champs have the 48.00 dollar Weber Sig 8S speaker in it. I have this speaker for my H&K 5 watt tubemeister amp and it sounds really good. Just wish it had a hemp cone. The Weber Sig 8s is an amazingly articulate speaker and very responsive to pick attack subtleties.

I don't blame you as far as Springteen & U2 are concerned. I can't stand either act myself. IMO, Miami has gotten by on luck and a extremely easy schedule. The only team besides New England in the AFC East that I feel is a contender, is Buffalo. Did you see what they did to the Jets last week ? I have a feeling that Rex Ryan is going to get fired at the end of the season along with their GM. My team is however, the Patriots and even though they lost on Sunday to Green Bay, they'll bounce back Sunday night against San Diego. Should be a helluva game.

Caught the performances. Was not really impressed.

Where was Bono, anyway?

Allegedly, he crashed into another biker at high speed. ("Attempted to avoid" is newspeak for "hit".)
I wonder how that biker fared?
And will Bono get ticketed for biking faster than 25 mph in Central Park?

Green Bay (my team by the way) was a GREAT game. In the first quarter, Packers were looking so good I was ready to text "smack" to my one and only Patriots friend...but I'm glad I held back....because the Pat's had me worried for the rest of the game, and I would have looked stupid if the Pack would have lost.

I agree, Patriots vs. San Diego should be a nail biter for anyone that is a fan of either team. I gotta go with the Chargers...because the Patriots play tuff, but seem to have a hard time lately with teams that are equally matched.

Stop it! If you are not his brother or father....the name's 'Bono'. His friends and band mates don't even call him "Paul". :roll:
