The 18th Annual Scripps Howard's Celebrity Super Bowl Poll, which features predictions from various celebrities -- including Tom Scholz, has been released. Here's his prediction:
TOM SCHOLZ, rock star, Boston: With the Pats eliminated maybe they should drop "Super Sunday" and just call it "Pretty Good Sunday." Plus, I was really hoping for the Saints. But seriously, with two unstoppable offenses taking turns, it should still be an exciting game. I'm saying Bears by 11.

This was published in the Boston Herald:
Tom Scholz of Boston fame has More Than a Feeling about recent bandmate Anthony Migliacco using his affiliation with the vintage rock band, so he’s filed suit against him in Suffolk Superior Court!
Apparently, Migliacco, aka Anthony Cosmo, has been touting his stage work with the classic band - despite signing an agreement that he wouldn’t do so. But what really has Scholz Smokin’ is that Migliacco allegedly billed he and his dad, Francis, who also played with the late 1990’s version of Boston, as the classic Hub band when they played a gig in St. Croix earlier this month.
Migs, according to the Boston Business Journal, said the agreement is null and void. Scholz’s legal counsel disagrees.
“Tom Scholz owns the trademark, the name, and there’s a lot of value to that, and he wants to protect the value,” Susan Stenger of Burns & Levinson told the BBJ.
The suit, filed last month, seeks to enforce the agreement and collect legal fees.
As always, do stay tuned
