Bring back the kids!!!! Start the game at 4:00 EST and limit the pre - game BS to one hour and maybe I will get interested again! Maybe they can bring back "Up With People " 2 2
Steptide Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 At least they have modern acts now. Those years after the Justin Timberlake/Janet Jackson incedent with all the dinosaur rock bands was brutal. 1

qwksilver Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) The Superbowls when the Pats* win, sometimes the halftime show and the commercials can make a huge difference (oh and lots of adult beverages!). I would assume if you are going to the game and pay as much for the ticket and hotel you'd prefer some national act vs some local high school band? Edited January 28, 2019 by qwksilver
Beast Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I just want to see some boobs fall out like they used to. 3

Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Gona keep saying it till it happens. METALLICA !!!

Great time for bathroom break, reload on food and libations, etc. I tune in to watch the game, not extravaganza. i usually mute the tv and then play death and pretend those clowns are singing it. Its funny and awesome all at the same time lol. 3 1
JinxedBill1 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Aside from the Amazing music we will be hearing (sarcasm) will we also get a chance to be lectured by the intersectional coalition of diversity and social justice?!! That’s what I really want to see! Football stops being about football come the come the end of the championship weekend. 1 1
The Senator Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I really don’t enjoy today’s overhyped halftime extravaganzas. The last one I enjoyed was Prince Katy Perry was good as well. I hate rap - it’s not music at all. I don’t like Lady Gaga. I don’t know who Maroon 5 is, but if they appeal to young children, they probably wouldn’t appeal to me. Also, it seems like the commercials used to be better, funnier, and more entertaining. Used to get together with a bunch of friends, and have pools on everything. Really, the craziest things, like how long it would take Dick Enberg to say “Oh, my!” Now, I kind of keep an eye on the game, use the commercial breaks to make a snack or use the bathroom, and find something else to do at halftime. God, I’m old. .. Edited January 28, 2019 by The Senator 3
without a drought Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I hear Sponge Bob will make a guest appearance.
Livinginthepast Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I was checking out the Wikipedia list of SB halftimes and not surprisingly the first few years have a lot of marching bands, up with people etc. What is really surprising looking back is seeing the incredibly lame lineups of the 80s and 90s. There's a few decent or big name performers in there but lots of really safe, G rated crap. Some of the choices as performers are bizarre. George Burns and Mickey Rooney in 1987 for ex. I don't recall watching any of the Bills SB half time shows, probably because I was completely stressed out of my mind. But they had Michael Jackson for #3!
Yoho Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) I saw Michael Jackson in Pasadena. I would have rather seen Up With People Edited January 28, 2019 by Yoho
reddogblitz Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I'm gonna suggest it til it happens. Weird Al. If it's marching bands which I totally support go with Ohio State or Grambling. Or both. 1
CowgirlsFan Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Definitely Ohio State! Was such an unexpected bonus seeing then perform in London for the Bills game vs the Jauguars back in 2015.
KD in CA Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 The best halftime shows were when MTV timed new Beavis & Butthead episodes to run right after the first half ended. 1
DJB Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 The halftime show is for chicks. I take the opportunity to take a leak or a dump.

They are amazing. As a bonus BILLS WON!! Edited January 28, 2019 by reddogblitz
The Senator Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) For pure entertainment, no marching band can top Morgan State’s Magnificent Marching Machine! (JMO) . Edited January 28, 2019 by The Senator
GreggTX Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 No one will touch the halftime show because of the NFL's ridiculous stonewalling of Kaepernick and the legitimate protests protected by the constitution.
