Want to see into the future? Who doesn’t? Lucky for you Prime has connections. Mr. Know It All tells all on what to expect next month in the world of sports, pop culture, and whatever the hell else he feels like spouting off on. Read on if you like but don’t tell your friends who like surprises.

Sometimes being able to see into the future has its drawbacks. Just think how horrifying it was for me when I got the vision that Jessica Simpson would have a singing career. Knowing it was going to happen and yet not being able to do anything about it…oh the humanity. But hey, nobody said being clairvoyant would be all peaches and cream. Here’s what to look for in February.

Groundhog Day – February 2nd
Uhh, whether Mr. Groundhog sees his shadow or not, we here in South Dakota are getting at least six more weeks of winter. Where is this event actually suspenseful? Florida? The year that winter ends before the end of March in South Dakota is the year I join forces with Al Gore and start hugging icebergs.

Super Bowl XLII – February 3rd
The Patriots win. What a shocker, right? Don’t blame me for harsh reality. The truth can be boring sometimes. But there are reasons this vision may not come true. As the season has worn on, the Pats’ aging defense has worn down. Formerly active Patriot seniors Junior Seau, Teddy Bruschi, and Rodney Harrison are running out of gas and teams have started to exploit these grumpy old mens’ diminishing speed and resiliency. This would matter more if New England’s offense didn’t score every single time they have the ball. Fact is, the Patriots offense puts so much pressure on other teams to score, even gummers like these guys can be trusted to hold opponents under 35 points.

Sioux Falls Smackdown: City Council vs. Mayor’s office – This Time It’s For Keeps! – February 19th
It’s become quite clear that the Mayor and the City Council don’t much like or trust each other. If these two governing bodies spent half as much time working on Sioux Falls’ growth issues as they do giving each other political wet-willies, we’d have streets of gold. My prediction? After a particularly lively session, the Mayor’s office and the Council take it outside and decide things the old Irish way. After a heated battle, the Council’s pure numbers prevail with De Knudson getting Mayor Munson to tap out with a submission hold she learned from her in-depth study of Ultimate Fighting.
