OK, so I'm a few weeks late on this, but here goes...
I just read in "NFL Report" magazine that reigning "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks (seen here) is going to sing the National Anthem at Super Bowl XLII on Feb. 3 in Arizona.
She's a perfect fit for two reasons:
First, the "NFL Report" tells me, Jordin grew up in Phoenix and she currently lives in Glendale, Ariz.
Secondly, her dad is former cornerback Phillippi Sparks (seen here on an Upper Deck football card), a 10-year NFL veteran who starred at Arizona State before going pro.
As for this season of "AI," I did not watch last night's season premiere, nor do I plan on watching until the final 12 are announced. I just can't bear to watch all these painful auditions which only serve to embarrass those who really think they can sing but can't, or give a national audience to attention-seekers who yearn for someone to ackowledge them.
Hence, no "Idol" entries here til we get to Hollywood and the voting begins. Sorry! :(

Like father, like daughter (and "American Idol" stuff, too)

I wholeheartedly agree with you, and I will not be watching the auditioning portion of AI as well. I just wish there were more of "us" so they wouldn't show them any longer.
Love your column! Have been reading it regularly for about 4 months (since you wrote about Barry Manilow -- my favorite! -- and his Sept. appearances I believe). I've been to the Rachael Ray Show also(in Nov. '06) and had a great time!
Take care.....
Hey Sean..I am going to give you heads up on a contestant to watch out for. Her name is Kady Malloy. She sang a Britney Spears song to perfection. I love this girl. I think she has some talent unlike Britney.
