	"Tastes great ... less filling." ... and the Twins. Are the latest ads pushing the envelope, or merely pushing good taste over the cliff? Eric Neel looks back longingly at the innocence of "Mean" Joe Greene handing his jersey to a kid ... but admits that you can't go home again. And he's not sure he'd want to.

	It was a nightmare assignment -- interview your boss (whose new show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live" debuts on ABC Sunday), make him look good, so you don't lose your job ... but don't look like you're sucking up, so you don't lose your street cred. The Sports Guy was up to the task.

Team Chemistry		Fandemonium

	Bill Romanowski will do anything for an edge -- from spit in a wide receiver's face to take "supplements" that modern science hasn't even named yet. He's the kind of guy everybody hates, says Page 2's Jim Armstrong ... unless he's a teammate. Maybe that has something to with the fact that he's going after his fifth ring on Sunday.		Why are Raiders fans so loyal to a team that regularly leaves town ? This is one of the mysteries Page 2's Jim Caple is contemplating with only two days left till SB XXXVII kickoff. Here's another: Why did the 12 Hooters calendar girls in the 43-foot-long stretch limo laugh at him when he tried to bum a ride? Plus cartoonist Kurt Snibbe's take on the whole pirate thing.

DAILY QUICKIE

It's all about Super Sunday, and the Daily Quickie is here to make all the bold predictions, including the possibility of a controversial ending. And don't forget the MVP, the halftime entertainment (where's Britney, by the way?), the commercials and the party.

As the Bucs and Raiders hope they don't choke on Sunday, Page 2 reflects on the 10 worst performances in Super Bowl history. Check out our list and vote for the best ever.
10]	Bills QB Jim Kelly (Super Bowl XXVI) Buffalo's no-huddle offense produced the only Super Bowl with two of the worst performances. Kelly tossed up a whopping 58 passes, but completed just 28 for 275 yards. Even more damaging, he threw four picks and fumbled three times.

9]	Steelers QB Neil O'Donnell (Super Bowl XXX) O'Donnell's final numbers were bad enough -- 28 of 49 for 239 yards (a ridiculous 4.8 yards per attempt) -- but it was the worst throw in Super Bowl history that earned him a spot on this list.

8]	Dolphins QB David Woodley (Super Bowl XVII) Woodley was, without a doubt, the worst QB ever to start a Super Bowl (48 career TDs, 63 career INT) and he played like it in Miami's 27-17 loss to Washington. He completed just 4 of 14 passes for 97 yards -- and 76 of those came on a first-quarter touchdown to Jimmy Cefalo.

7]	Giants QB Kerry Collins (Super Bowl XXXV) Sure, Baltimore's defense was fearsome, but Collins looked lost in this one. He was 15 for 39 for 112 and four interceptions (including one returned for a touchdown).
