BTW… the constant references to there being a blizzard next year are off-base. It was in the 40s in New York this past Sunday.
—————————
I checked the Weather Channel weather for East Rutherford, NJ on my cell phone at kickoff Sunday, and forecast was 22 and flurries. Remember, the high temp for the day is irrelevant. Unless they change the time of kickoff from 6:30 ET to something like 4:00 PM (which would be fine with me by the way), the game will be running deep into a very cold night. And if there is snow, the white out will make the Superdome blackout seem welcome.

I thought Madonna was bad but Beyonce was just as lame. All that said how about Charlie Daniels or Van Halen, Anybody that has actual musical talent.

Who is Charlie Daniels?

I might actually watch it. The problem with having one particular artist perform is that you’re probably not appealing to at least half of the people watching. And remember.. these are fans of FOOTBALL. How many of them do you suppose are big Beyonce fans?

What they SHOULD do – put on a show like the Ohio State marching band did on 10/6/12 (vs. Nebraska). Find the video if you haven’t seen it. Obviously the theme would be different, but they should put on a SHOW.. not throw some artist up there that many people don’t even want to see.

Heck, they could even have the dancers lip sync to some music. It’d be hard to tell the difference between the show on Sunday.

=========

First of all, no it wasn’t. Temperature at game time was 27 with a wind chill of 15.

Secondly, I don’t think anyone has made the argument that it snows in NJ every single Sunday of the entire winter.

I think the point is that it does snow, or freezing rain enough in NJ in the winter that you are taking a considerable risk, considering what a traffic nightmare it is between Manhattan and NJ on a NORMAL weather day.

I love football as do millions in the country. But the reason the Superbowl is an EVENT is the halftime show.

Easy fix….get Metallica or AC/DC in there to rock that place off its foundation.

Therein lies one of the issues with the halftime selections the NFL makes. Seems every three years they choose a “rock” band that plays their music and sounds basically like their CDs. The other years, the NFL chooses acts whose “talents” are done with mixing boards, etc and are shocked when they suck live.

Why don’t they just play 15 minutes straight of the past season’s highlights? No interruption from talking heads…just highlights. Who wouldn’t be down for that?

Even better – 15 minutes of bloopers from the past season. Hilarity ensues.

The show was not much more than garbled noise…not sure how it came across on TV.

All I was thining was, “Let’s get this over with so the Ravens can get back to smacking the Niners around”.
