    See SB XXVII. "Micheal Jackson and 3500 local children." It really could be alot worse than Mick Jager spilling his colostomy bag all over stage.

    Yup, that halftime show made me cringe, especially since one of the provisions in MJ's contract was that the announcements all had to refer to him as the "King of Pop"! But, it could be a LOT worse since it doesn't sound like you're old enough to remember when "Up With People" did the SB halftime shows ... yeek!

    At the rate things are going with these bloated overblown halftime productions, give me the Florida A&M marching band every freakin' year!

    God, man my blood sugar's headed for Mars, stop mentioning this White Bread pap will you??!!! No strike that, that last crack was an insult to white bread everywhere. Sigh.... the living embodiment of "Just Say No". I really didn't mind the bad songs, or the cheesey choreography, or the costumes from 50's movie musicals, no all that I could take. It's those fake-assed smiles they kept plastered on their mugs that killed me. The "Steopford Wives" vacuousness of their schtick..... god... I must be losing my mind writing about this crap.

    My last $.02:

    I think the problem is they turned the Superbowl into concerts with a football thrown in there somewhere. The 5 hours of pregame, terrible national anthem, and extra long halftime show is way way way too much. What ever happened to the national anthem with one person (or maybe a few others) and a microphone? None of this huge event crap that noone cares about anyway.

    The networks are just trying to gobble up more viewers who aren't interested in the actual game.

    I really don't know why people get excited about the game- unless you're from Seattle or Pittsburg.

    Amen to that! Just play the stinkin' game already.

    Historically, the Super Bowl is anything but super. Too much hype. Too much distraction. Too much of everything that has nothing to do with the game. Everyone looked out-of sorts Sunday, the players, the coaches, the refs, the entertainment. Too much time off. Too late in the season. Notice how good the playoff games leading up to the Super Bowl usually are? Just play the game already.

    Well, from a corporate, we want to make money, point of view? Yes, they sure do.
    From a pure sports fan, let's see the game, point of view? Nah.. Tee it up and kick it.

    The build up is fun though. It makes for great parties. And I loved seeing all those old Super Bowls and highlights all weekend.

    You came out of your coma with all gunzablazin'. With that post, you totally outdid yourself -- I'm friggin' speechless!

    Living embodiment of "just say no" -- that's a line for the ages! All I could think of as a comparison for Up With People was a Disneyland parade gone wrong and multiplied in scale like a petri dish in a frat house bathroom!

    Until the last few years, most of the Superbowls sucked. This years superbowl was one of the worst games ever. Both teams played bad, the referees were terrible- I'm still trying to figure out why no one made a big deal of the play where the Seattle caught the ball and fumbled it 2 seconds later & they called it an incomplete pass, the clock management of Seattle sucked, the Stones and/or their sound system sucked & most of the commercials weren't that good. Really my only quick sports fix is the NCAA Basketball tournament. It's fun to see unheralded players you never heard of, come through & wind up getting drafted and playing in the pros because they caught their attention when they weren't on the radar in the beginning.
