Super Bowl XLIV Gameday Thread: Saints vs. Colts

[MonkFan4Life]

You know, I'd rather watch Led Zepplin than The Who. If they HAVE to be rock bands can they find one a little more current. If I wasn't around when a gallon of milk was $.10 then I really can't enjoy the halftime show.

I realize that I contradicted myself by saying Zepplin but they F'n crank.

Does Pete Townshend seem drunk? I haven't seen the Who in a number of years live but he has had moments where he seemed to be playing a different song, tempo, or whatever from the rest of the band.

Boy, CBS did everything to cater to the 30 and older crowd for the halftime show, didn't they?

Easy. I'm 31 and I'm not enjoying any part of this halftime show. I could give a who about The Who.

The Who are my favorite band of all time and I'm cringing.

That was a totally respectful, nice commercial. It didn't even mention the word "abortion." Sally Jenkins was right in her article- the commercial wasn't intolerant. The critics are.

Nice post , however I was either in the kitchen or hitting the can and missed it .

I second this, I turned to other channels. The lead singer of the Who looks like freaking Peter King.

Gator lover . I didn't see the commercial but I know there were people saying it was a bit of a double standard to allow that add to air but not the gay dating site ad

It's really not political. More social than anything. It was in very good taste and wasn't polarizing in any way IMO. And I'm pro-choice for the most part, despite being conservative in many areas.

Better than one of those damn boy bands , it could be worse .

I think its rediculous that for the past 5 years the half time show has been old washed up men who haven't released an album in like 20 years. I respect that era, but seriously?

I would agree that that's a double standard for sure.

It does have a lot of political implication, whether the commercial intends it or not. Personally, I didn't have a problem with the commercial...well what I saw (someone said there's another later on?)...I just have a problem with bringing a polarizing political topic to the SB period.

Well, looks like the halftime show is over.
