how about like the regular season they have a marching band that nobody cares about half time is 15 minutes and we play the damn game..when did the super bowl start to become the Oscars?fashion shows, parties, and celebrity spotting and what they are wearing??its a football game its for men it was their day and now the media is emasculating one of the last things we have . who gives a damn about commercials that's when we get up to get another beer or get rid of the one we just pounded down.we don't want to see human interest stories just stats and highlights of the season..so we know who to bet on ..and the next day report about the game not who was there not about parties not about celebrities not about half time so we can either feel good or pissed all over again..give us the game and our testicles back..

The funniest part was when the Fox Sports robot and terminator were fighting! Whoever thought of that idea is brilliant!

OK well i guess that prety much sums up my point..thank -you..

Aww man, I'm surprised to see such bad reviews! My family and I (with the exception of the youngest one) absolutely loved his performance with the Heart Breakers. I hadn't seen him in years, nor have I heard any of his stuff on the radio (you'd think they'd at least play him on KISS or MY FM), so I was happy to hear some throwbacks. They all looked like they've been taking care of themselves... Tom's hair was on POINT! lol

i don't know about you guys, but i can't imagine die hard foot ball fans or foot ball players getting pumped up or wanting to hear janet jackson, or gwen play during half time. i would think real fans, and the players perfer something that's gonna get them pumped and get their adrenaline rolling with some music that has balls to it like ac/dc, motley crue, dr. dre, jet, metallica, or you know something that's gonna get people pumped.

i think the super bowl has been way too watered down. its not about the game anymore, it's about the commercials, and the sissy 1/2 time show that are only important for the bandwagon fans, that know nothing or very lil about football. atleast WWE pick's good performers for their Wrestlemania event. Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, and Motorhead performed, and it made sense. i'm not a fan of those bands, but i atleast understood why they would pick them. because most wrestling fans enjoy them, and the music suite the event.

i don't have a problem with tom petty, i perfer him then others, but again, lacking balls, but it's better then janet. so whatever. i just feel like men should take back their event, and man it up like the way it was back in the day.

Mark,

This incident reminds me of one I heard of several years ago at the Sturges motorcycle meet. I remember that the event promoters kept secret who was going to perform for the crowd. Now you know that bikers want some good old time rock and roll for the most part, right? Right! But when it came to show time, who was on stage performing? ELTON JOHN! Now talk about a furious crowd...maybe rabid is a better word for it? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!!!?

Mark, do you remember that episode in the news some years ago? And was it Bob Donley who covered that event?
