After Prince, it’s something of a…step down:

SPORTSbyBROOKS (“SbB”) has learned exclusively today that the National Football League is in final negotiations to sign the Eagles to perform at halftime of the 2008 Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.

An announcment was not imminent, but a source said the likelihood of a deal being struck between the band and the league was “90%”.

The NFL’s initial choice as headline halftime performer was Garth Brooks, but negotiations with the country performer broke down.

Of course, this is an “exclusive” scoop which quotes itself as its primary source in its own headline, but it does go on to say that “SbB was also first to report that Prince would perform as the 2007 Super Bowl halftime performer.” So, yeah, we’ll probably have to suffer through (goddamn it) the Eagles or switch over to the (probable) Law and Order marathon. I’m not sure if there’s enough Bud or Bud Light in the world for this.
