The 10-15 minutes of leering at Fergie I had hoped for was rudely interrupted by some alleged band called the Black Eyed Peas. They spent most of their time fighting the chimps on the audio desk and shouting. One of the chimps also forgot to connect up all the lights in the word "love" so that the V had most of one arm unlit. Some guy called Usher nearly got hung up on his rappelling line and then also did battle with the sound desk folks. The effect with the folk glowing green was clever but hardly made up for the rest of the mess.

My sister-in-law's husband is a pro-musician, and he described the show as "20 lbs of **** in a 5 lb bag".

The game itself was one of the better Super Bowls in recent years. All the rest is forgettable.
 
Agreed on both points. Worst halftime show and best game in a long time.
 
Explain this halftime concept to me. I've always felt it was when you went to the toilet so you wouldn't burst. And maybe made a pass thru the dining room for a plate of food. It was also when the young and those with little self control were allowed to speak. I don't care about commercials, or bands, or the worst, the announcers who used to play football. They're all like litter that blows into your yard in a windstorm.
 
While the half-time show was on, I was in the kitchen. I guess I didn't miss anything. There is only one thing I didn't like. Instead of Roger Stauback, Bart Starr should have presented the Vince Lombardi trophy to the Packers.

My uncle played a game against Vince Lombardi. After Lombardi graduated from Fordham, he played semi-pro ball for the Brooklyn Eagles. My uncle played semi-pro ball for the Liberty All-Stars in Staten Island. Lombardi played Right Guard, and my uncle played Center. The All-Stars won. I think my uncle was proud of that game. I wish he were still here to watch football with me and my son.
 
While the game was on I mixed up a couple of blenderfuls of Pina Coladas, then I finished my share & that is how I missed out on the Halftime Show-- Yea!
 
Worst halftime show EVER. All that posturing and posing was ridiculous. Music was terrible.
They should bring John Fogerty in next year.
 
What they had at half time was not entertainment. If it was, then maybe I am too old to appreciate the lack of talent by well paid people.
 
Forgettable halftime show, great game. IMO also thought most of the commercials were lame except for the Chrysler 200 ad and the Darth Vader/VW ad.

In the early 90's I saw Slash laying by the pool in Cabo at a resort called the Twin Dolphins.

He was wearing a black Speedo and black leather jacket..... while surrounded by 2-3 hot gals.The temperature was over 90 degrees outside.

At the time I had never heard of him and remember telling my wife that I bet he's a Colombian Drug Lord on holiday.

What do I know?
 
I thought the half time show was gonna be saved when I saw Slash but the sound board people were so incompetent you could barely hear his guitar. Fergie's nice to look at but here attempt to sound like Axel was pitiful.

Luckily the game was good.

The only thing I found interesting about the half time show was the clear plastic hat thingy the one guy from the Blackberry Beans or whatever they're called, had on his head. I told the wife I needed to acquire one of those to wear for when I wanted to convince the neighbors that I was disturbed.
Christine Aguilera's improv version of the National Anthem was also an unfortunate assault on my ears.
 
i was happy for all of the sound problems, i didnt want to listen to any extra seconds of that ****. they sounded pretty horrible, at least the game was good.
