The halftime show seemed to push people into chat. We're up to 10

Still better than the choreographed lip-syncing, IMHO. I prefer it when bands actually perform.

I just figured they did that because they didn't want a rush of fans to startle the who and cause them to mess their pants.

There's an article out there by someone who did it, and how much it absolutely sucked. If I can find it, I'll post it.

Really, and what's everyone want from a halftime show. It's become cliche to complain about it but what do you want? And I mean name an act or two and what performance.

So, was Freeney dogging it all week? He was walking around oh so gingerly before the game, but either he got shot up with something or the Colts were pulling a fast one as he hasn't shown a single sign of the ankle bothering him since the game began.

I want the act gone and it cut back to the same 15 minutes it is during the regular season.

I'm sure he got shot up with something, probably a combination of things.

My friend just texted me. Apparently, the half time act wasn't any more popular with him or the people near him, nor did it sound any better live.

Next year it is in Dallas so it will probably be Garth Brooks or another big country act.

Right after Goodell bans the three point stance I'm sure he'll get around to it.

With the exception of Garçon dropping that pass the whole game hasn't been challenging for Peyton to move the ball down the field.

Not a big shock there, the PR decision the league wanted was clear on this one.

What made that an incompletion? It was the right call. He had possession on the 2nd effort after the initial bobble. It was an amazing catch with great body control.

Frankly, I thought he had possession until it was kicked. But by then he had already had possession and broken the plane.
