starter pistol

Great NFL Opening Kickoff program ... except for Freddie Prinze Jr., who just plain got overpowered by the crowd (scream, Freddie, scream; we know what you did last summer). Kanye 'Bush Hates Black People' West started things off with "Heard Em Say" with Adam Levine, then Levine was joined by his Maroon 5 bandmates for "Harder to Breathe".

In Detroit, the Stones continued making hay with their deal with the devil - Mick was a dervish as usual. Green Day also rocked the joint, with pyro and mascara. Then Santana segued in for "Smooth" with some Latino singer (what, Rob Thomas had diarrhea?). One-time collaborator (and still hottie, despite some pounds) Michelle Branch, broke in her new project, the Wreckers (with Jessica Harp), onto the national stage. She has a freakin great agent.

For a surprise twist after the unveiling of the latest Patriots' championship banner, the Ozzy hisself got showed up and did "Crazy Train". But he looked like he was blabbing through the lyrics as if anaesthesized. His own deal with the devil must be on the rocks.

Country star Trisha Yearwood then sang the national anthem. Never fails to touch.

Then Freddie tries again ... dude, you're no Hank Williams Jr.
