The super bowl has become an event as much as a football game. The football game provided everything that it hasn't on frequent occasions. A close, well played, exciting game from wire to wire. As a game it was excellent.<br /><br />As an event it was possibly the worst, most terribly executed display of trash I have ever seen. It missed the mark on almost every level. Aerosmith should stick to studio work as they just don't have what it takes to pull off a live, worldwide broadcast. Steven Tylers voice was tired and their music wasn't performed well or with any style. It wasn't even current for the most part.<br /><br />Josh and Boyonce were the highlight. They both showed style, and talent. Boyonce looked beautiful, classy, and dignified as she was escorted to the stage. Her outfit was current, subdued, and elegant. She did herself proud with an excellent National Anthem. She did it with bright eyes, personal flair and an appropriate diposition lost on almost every other act. Great Job!! 
<br /><br />Halftime: WHAT WAS THAT. I really hope Nelly found what he spent his whole time on stage feeling around for in his pants. P Diddy, what did he say, sing, add, or do for the halftime show. <br /><br />Kid Rock, I sure hope it wasn't his idea to hack up a flag into a tunic and parade around on stage with it. I don't know if it is a crime, but I found it offensive. You are there to enhance the glory the flag represents, not use its glory of the flag to enhance yourself. <br /><br />Janet Jackson, what can I say. A dated song and dance sequence revolving around sex. Janet performed something that wasn't current 5 years ago and did it poorly. She had her bucket covered at all times due to it's abnormal size, dry humping a kid half her age, and exposing herself due to a a "costume malfunction" is unforgiveable, inappropriate and possibly an intensional insult to the viewing public. I have seen better productions at gentlemans clubs.<br /><br />CBS, NFL, MTV, all have egg on their face and tarnished their images as concerned corportate citizens. They all had to approve of the performance prior to the game, and now when everyone thinks it was terrible are quick to blame each other. I have no idea who the NFL thinks is their target market is, but if that is what reaches them, so long football. That chunk of sewage that passed for halftime entertainment should be a wakeup call to the NFL.. Know who you are working with, who you are trying to reach, what are your upsides and downsides, and paybacks for risks. Attempting to reach the street thugs and pornographic segements of your audience should not be attempted during your premier game. The idea that hiring MTV to be the production company for your halftime show had to be called into question. Hard hitting programs like cribs, real world, road rules, and TRL hardly would make them credible as the point people for developing a halftime show for the largest and possibly the most diverse tv audience of the year. All of these organizations owe the viewers an apology.... <br /><br />The commercials were terrible. A monkey trying to pick up in graphic detail a woman, and a dog biting a man in the crotch. Nothing there either.<br /><br />It is a good thing that the game was worth watching cuz the rest was a disaster.
