He's going a bit over-board with the knee slides. Remember that's how Ole did his knee

It's not just the music at half-time, it's also the famous half-time advertisements. We don't see them on British TV but all the big companies pay craploads to have their products shown during this time and usually do really funny and interesting ads.
Isnt it like 20 million for a 30second ad or something crazy like that?
What did you Americans make of Jennifer Hudson?
Thought she was pretty good myself even if it was slightly over the top. Cracking voice.

Yeah, it's close to that amount. It's premium advertising time tbh. The whole of America is watching the game and nearly everyone has the day off work to watch it.
I'm sure the exposure pays dividends.
Needs more cowbell
Great voice. Clearly from a Gospel background. She adlibbed quite a lot, however, if you listen to Gospel music much you kinda get used to it anyway.
Slight exaggeration. It usually gets between 90-95 million watching.
Springsteen is okay. It's not as good as Tom Petty last year, however, both of these guys didn't compare to Prince's half-time show a couple of years ago.
U2's HT show was the best I have seen.
Did I hear some boos there for Brucie?
That was awesome from The Boss, loved it.
Not really a BS fan but he did a decent job.
Great show by Springsteen.
Well I admit I'm not a big enough follower of his to know!
Some people booed him then too
Let's just get on with the game for crying out loud. Or is there more nonsense to come?
They wern't booing, that was them chanting Bruce wasn't it?
I doubt it was boos I bet it was Bruuuuuce.
Whats the matter Brad? You seem a bit down this evening?
Like Deeeeuce for the saints.
No no, just not entirely taking to this circus, gets in the way of what could be a good entertaining sport as I see it
I was saying Boo-ruuuuuuce.
Not a fan myself, but I know my brother paid the best part of €90 on a ticket to Springsteen last year.
Also, just so you know, half-times usually aren't this long. This is just the Superbowl half time.
Oh maybe you're right. Kinda like when Mart Poom thought he was being booed on his debut for Derby when the fans were really chanting "Poooooooooom!", and also when my ex asked "Why are they booing Van Nisselroy?" (as she pronounced it) when the fans were chanting "Ruuuuuuuuuud"
Women!I was picked to go on the field for the HT show but couldn't make the rehearsals so had to drop out. You had to apply online and they picked 2000 people a couple of weeks ago.
It's comes across like that but it is actually Bruce they're saying. Similar to the ruud chant from a few years back.
The boss was on great form I thought.
Whoever mentioned U2, they are shit, not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Springsteen.
Ah, like that golfer guy called 'Boo'
I watched the last Ryder Cup, boy it grates after a couple of days (truthfully, a couple of holes)

In a pre-game interview Springsteen said Cold Play should get next years HT show.
O god no, not cold play.
Can you imagine a less motivating choice?

Oo interesting start. Was that forward momentum? 4th down or turnover?
As if. They're a bunch of fat, obnoxious tank top wearing jarheads that's why.
Prince was great a couple years back
Coldplay
fecking hell, imagine if it was the European Cup final, and we're all prattling on about how Girls Aloud were magnificent at half time...
This is crazy! Get a grip you lot! If you haven't noticed, the game has restarted! (and stopped again. And again. And again)

They're just tards, they should have been discussing the Cardinals' challenge instead.
You get a lot of time to chat during a NFL game.....its all fecking advert breaks and line resets.
To be fair, Cheryl would probably turn my head, no matter who we were playi...
No, lets not be stupid.
Thing is, if this was Pats, I would not be on here, wouldnt care who was on, like last year.

A fellow Pats fan, good man.
I flipped over to ABC to watch Wipeout then a few bits of Meet the Spartans on HBO.
