What do red-blooded American men expect to go with their football if not a naked Nicolette Sheridan? Cirque du Soleil obviously! Regular guys just love the drama, the color, and the flair: all the important aspects of a good football game.

That is why Cirque du Soleil will be opening this year's Superbowl: to enchant the American male. And the only person more enchanting than a bunch of spandex-clad double-jointed acrobats is Prince himself, who will most likely be performing the half-time show.

Remember, this is the new, clean Prince, so don't expect any nudity or vulgarity. Still, we're certain there will be a fair share of purple satin being waved around, and what's the only thing a red-blooded American man loves more than purple satin? You got it: Cirque du Soleil.
