The best part was Bono had the American flag stitched into his armpit and after the performance he pulled his jacket open to show us how much he loves us.

So to recap, in the last decade we've had U2, Prince, Paul McCartney, Sting, Janet Jackson (I missed that show but I bet it's on Youtube), Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, The Stones, The Who, and Madonna.

Perhaps the halftime show is sponsored by AARP? Then again maybe not, since most of those old fogeys are British. So that would make it BARP.

Smart money says next year's Halftime show will either be Talking Heads, B-52s, the Bangles, Cool and the Gang, or Iggy Popp.

And as a special treat to cater to the under-30 crowd, they'll open up with Thomas Dolby, MC Hammer, and Barney.

Agreed. And on the profitability...

I think it's important to remember that working for a profitable company does not necessarily translate to a profitable career for the pilots. It does better the chances of our company staying in business, I guess. But if all those profits are gained on the backs of the employees while the airline shrinks and outsources, the small increase in profit sharing (a few thousand dollar difference between a bad year and a good one) does almost nothing to counter years of working under a sub-standard contract. And that is their goal - to pay industry STANDARD wages. Not industry LEADING - they said it themselves.

That kicks ass! I used to live in Nahant, Ma. The only thing they didn't say was, Lets go to Kelly's for a Roast Beef. Girls with big hair in Revere:-)

Revere? You mean...Severe?

As in "Severe Beach!"

80's super bowl verdict-

Commercials blew except for the doritos one with the dog and the one where the guy got the email in his car and immediately back out of the driveway.

Halftime show was boring as crap. Madonna when she actually was singing had a very heavily processed voice- and she looked like she was about to fall asleep. Definitely acted every bit of 60 years old or however old she is.

Great football game! I didn't really care who won, but one of the guys at the party is a HUGE giants fan so it was great fun watching him. All I wanted was a nice close ballgame and I came out happy.

All in all- it's a ball game after all and we got a good one, so who cares about the junky commercials and horrible halftime show. That's what it's all about- supposedly.

What game? My wife got two Beagles yesterday, and then the oldest came down with the flu. Lets see how quickly it goes through the house.......

Did no one else find the winning touchdown last night completely un-sportsmanish?

It's all about strategy and statistics. No less unsportsmanlike than taking a knee 3 times in a row to run down the clock and then bringing in the 150 lb kicker to win it all (and then said kicker gets carried around as the hero).

The commercial where Clamp loses weight to get out the doggy door was pretty good, until it changed into a VW commercial.
