As far as the chickification of the superbowl - it is entertainment w/ a dash of sports leavened in.  Can't leave half the market share hanging. 

El Rushbo was discussing this topic in recent weeks.... Quite a few ladies called in to say that they did not feel left out by having a manly game. Somehow, they too enjoy seeing big sweaty guys going head to head on the field of combat known as American Football.

Imagine that.

More importantly, what / who are these Clydesdales? Can someone inform us culturally unenlightened across the pond with any relevant links?

Those are the Budweiser Clydesdale Horses. It's been a tradition to have them be the subject of at least one of the Bud commercials.

Thanks Bub, and to think I passed the Budweiser "Beermeister expert" exam at the Busch Budweiser center at  Busch Gardens in Tampa circa 2001 ! Mind you, I'd do anything for a free beer ....

the whole American fascination with football is really quite stupid.
especially when stereotyped.
(Not implying any disrespect or anything by that).

How can I take offense, when I don't even know what the heck you're sayin'? :)

I guess those extra 2 years I spent in high school didn't pay off after all.

It damn near shook loose a tremendous bowel movement in me... luckily I had enough cheddar cheese in my system to bind me up good as I was cemented to the chair in abject horror!

Wow dude. What happens if something really important goes awry in your life?

Well, dude. I guess I was just having a laugh... snotty little prick aren't you.

I am not sure what you ment by that really, but I think alot of American football fans would stand with me as I say Blow Me!

I have had a few beers tonight & this maybe a little over-defensive, but what a blantantly opinionated comment to make.....  whatever.
 

It's like they are the urban version of Spinal Tap, except that BEP fans are not in on the joke. Maybe they have decided that as long as the beats are slick, they really can't go broke underestimating the record buying public's intellect.

I have nothing to add..... except this is the best of the best of trashing the halftime show.  I think it deserves repeating.

What ever happened to the traditional marching band at halftime shows?

Yes, the echo effect sucks, but they need no mix, and they need no monitoring!  Most of them use no singers, need no Autotune, and they'll play any damned song ever written!

Maybe next year they can get the Blue Man Group to play with a skilled marching band.  You know, just to avoid being ignored by the media.  I've been there, sweating it out in practice during July and August, and then playing with sensitive music instruments in the same snow and sleet that the players are playing in.  The marching band works harder than many teams, only to be ignored when halftime comes around.  It's a tough job.

Of course, it wouldn't be the real thing without chearleaders and baton twirlers!

The Peaheads had a bad mix, and Fergie was a bit shouty.  Slash looked like he didn't want to be there long before Fergie tried to turn him into a stripper pole.

I have to admit though, I am almost fascinated with that band.  It's like they are the urban version of Spinal Tap, except that BEP fans are not in on the joke.  Maybe they have decided that as long as the beats are slick, they really can't go broke underestimating the record buying public's intellect.

BEP is not Urban music. They are Pop.

Update your reference points.

Well, you took that one better than I thought you would, haha. Gotta give you much respect for that. I can be a snotty prick myself from time to time. No hard feelings I hope :)

Yeah...I miss the marching bands. And I'm with ya! Blue Man Group! Blue Man Group!
And bring in the young marching bands- get those kids involved too. Wake up America!
Was that Paul Harvey?....good-day.
 

That's because you're in the Coffee House.  We don't act like a lot of the crap upstairs do. 

There's an upstairs here? Well this place is fancy!

hehehe. You threw me off with the bonanza avatar... thought I was dealing with a red neck! I don't get along too well with those types.
