I can today -almost exclusively - announce that the Who will be play at the Superbowl in 2010.
The two remaining original members, Pete T..., oh, you know who they are by now, were today unavailable for comment. Townshend, who is busy Flossing and Daltrey on tour with the Werther Throat Sweet-sponsered "use it or lose it" tour, are by all accounts, "dead excited."
Long-term brother of Townshend, Simon Townshend commented: "Yeah, ever since they were photographed wearing football helmets for the cover of their "Odds & Sods" album they have made it their goal to play at the Superbowl."
An NFL spokesperson said: "It's going to be a blast. Townshend & Daltrey were drafted in by the Patriots in close season; Townshend as A back-up Quarterback and Daltrey as a kicker". He added: "Pete's got a great arm action so is ideal for the position. Daltrey, however, is a short git and we couldn't think of anywhere else to play him except Kicker. Let's hope it doesn't come to a last-minute field goal attempt in overtime, ay?"
When pressed on what would happen if the Patriots didn't reach the final he drawled: "Oh man, I don't even want to think about that right now. If the Patriots don't get there -and we will do anything we can to ensure they do-then it means that the Who will have to do the half-time show. I mean, how many times can one nation hear Won't get fooled again?" "God save us."
The Who's manager, Bill Curbishly -long-term brother of Alan, disgraced ex manager of the mighty West Ham, said: "Is that what he said?" (of the NFL spokesperson) "Well in that case, we'll do Baba O'Reilly, then".
The NFL spokesperson replied: "Is that what he said?" (of Bill Curbishly). "Thank fuck for that, it's a better song."
Curbishly retorted: " Did he really say that?" (Of the NFL spokesperson)
At which point I reminded them both that we were in the same room and they really need to get over this not talking to each other bollocks and grow up.
