Celebration Day

Led Zeppelin's transcontinental renaissance has kicked into high gear with last night's reunion concert in London. Over on our side of the ocean, Zep has inked a promotional deal with the NFL and ESPN, which explains why you heard "Dazed and Confused" in the background last Monday night while the referees were ass-raping the Ravens' defense with gusto.

Now when I heard about this deal, I expressed unbridled optimism that this arrangement might lead to Led Zeppelin playing a halftime show at the Super Bowl. Then I came to the conclusion that Led Zeppelin doesn't play halftime shows. If anything, the Super Bowl should be played during the intermission of a Zep concert.

Here's what I did: I've predicted what Zeppelin song each of your favorite NFL personalities would request. I know what you're thinking: "Another crappy list post." But it was either this or I don my unbuttoned half-shirt ala Robert Plant. And so crank it up and enjoy.

Minnesota Vikings: Going to California
Trent Green: Dazed and Confused
Bill Belichick: No Quarter
John Madden: Ramble On
Vinny Testaverde: Achilles Last Stand
Jeff Garcia: In Through The Out Door
New Orleans Saints: When The Levee Breaks (that's really mean)
Donovan McNabb: Sick Again
Chad Johnson: Dancing Days
Patriots and Dolphins: Good Times, Bad Times
Heinz Field: The Rain Song
Andy Reid: Custard Pie
Bill Parcells: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
