  • Let's get Pink Floyd to do a Dark Side of the Moon #2 and hand out psychodelics at the entrance gate for those seeking to trip on out. Maybe it could turn into another Ontario Rockfest that lasts for a week. Do another WOODSTOCK with sex, drugs, rock & roll like they did back in the 60's. Yes, flower children, peace signs, make love--screw football, kill Putin--fire obama or vice versa. It would be a blast. Just another brainfart guys..

  • I love football, but I stopped watching the SB Halftime a few years ago when it was in Detroit. The starring act was the Rolling Stones! What? Couldn't they round up the living Motown stars from the area nursing homes and prisons? It would have been an order of magnitude better than watching Jumpin' Jack Flash limping around the stage in his walker, trying to keep his wrinkles in place.

  • With the utter crap they have at super bowl half time, they ought to pay the people that have to listen to that sh*t. Although I am basing my opinion on years past, since it has been a long time that I have watched even one minute of the super bowl half time. For the reasons stated.

    • hell it's been years since i paid attn. to any football. silly money grubbin sport with overpaid children playin' and willing dupes as spektators. of course this applies to any and all sports save perhaps women's beach volleyball.

  • WOW!

    So many people posting here who claim to be conservatives but in reality are just closet socialists.

    • Huh? How is it socialism for a performer to get paid for performing? That's capitalism, baby. A performer paying to perform is like an author paying to get a book published - it's neither socialism or capitalism, just incompetence.

      A publisher that demands payment from authors can be anywhere on the political spectrum, but he won't be in business very long.

        • Oh Lord, why me. I just did as you asked (even though I knew I was right) and you owe me 43 seconds. And you tipped your hand with the phrase "claim to be" in the original post.

        • yeah, why don't you go to a dictionary and discover the meaning of terms THEN get back with us.

          you're a product of the public school system i bet.

      • He really did miss the boat didn't he? Nobody said they shouldn't be allowed to do it, just that it's a stupid idea, sheesh.

  • OK, pay for play? We need to fire up a Kickstarter...

    ... to raise the money to get Ted Nugent to play the halftime show. Nothing would be better then put Uncle Ted front & center at America's biggest annual sporting & cultural event.

    • He's about the only one who might pay to perform. None of the leftists in the business would part with their money.

    • OMG!!! That would be excellent. Uncle Ted Jammin hard and bad mouthing obama between songs. Hell I'd bet he would write a song about the cowardly dictator too. He might even mention something about that nasty food tranny he keeps hid in the WH. That would truly be the best superbowl halftime ever. Obama would have his thong bunched so far up his twat after hearing Nugent he would probably send in fighter jets to shut him up.

  • Worst case scenario: The Washington REDSKINS make it to the Super Bowl. The NFL will have to cancel the half-time show, because no liberal "celebrities" will appear, let alone pay for the privilege. And no TV play-by-play, since many of the "top" announcers have already knuckled under to the offensive-to-native-Americans nazis.

    Gee, there is no downside.

  • I hope they get some Wisconsin Polka band like Fred Wilfart and his Orchestra.....The NFL deserves it.

  • I have long had a saying: never put the accountant in charge of the company. I see this over and over again, successful businesses who start hiring CEOs from the financial branch of the company. Accountants are great with the numbers so they sound good in board meetings, but they will destroy the company. It's inevitable. Accountants don't have the right mindset for running an enterprise. I think that's what's happening to the NFL - they don't have football people running what is essentially a football business. They have money people expressing greed instead of football people expressing their love of sports.

  • I'm sure obama would love to have some of his closest butt buddies do a show for FREE. How about a Charles Rangle & Barney Frank DUET? Obama would be slobbering at the mouth all over himself, hell he might even decide to join right in with them.
