FINALLY a Super Bowl we can be proud of

[Big Bad Wulff]

The 2 singers before the game didn't mangle their songs and moreover didn't try a "make over" of the original........ THANK GOD!

Halftime was good entertainment but Bruce has lost his range that is for sure. No costume problems......THANK GOD!

Our troops and General Petraus were honored.....THANK GOD!

In the end it turned out to be one great game. Steelers won.........THANK GOD!

Agree, it was a fun game, the halftime show was one of the, if not the, best pieces of Super Bowl entertainment ever. - Go Bruce!.

Unfortunately, both Faith Hill and Jennifer Hudson were lip synching their performances -

Not to take away from their performances but it was disapointing to see that they were singing to pre-recorded tracks.

Wow... Not sure I saw the same game!

The total lack of class by Pittsburg rowdies is perhaps the worst kind of thing, in part because it makes me realize how close we really are to anarchy. Rioting over a game? Because your team won? The message is frightening.

Hmm.. and the last play - I didn't really care who won the game but that was clearly an incomplete pass and Arizona should have gotten one last chance. That kind of stuff leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Oh well, there is always next year..

Thanks for posting the winners name, I was wondering which team won.

They had an official ruling.....why I don't know because Arizona was out of challenges. It was painfully obvious both feet were in bounds...................over and over and over and over.

I missed the part where they changed the rules... Challenges during the final 2 minutes come from the booth officials and they are not limited.

The first half officiating was horrible... Starting with an uncalled obvious late hit on Ben... And I am not a Steeler fan..............

[Big Bad Wulff]

I was getting sick of all the penalites they did call...........both ways. It's the Super Bowl.........let 'em play.

You are right about the final 2 minutes. I forgot about that. I must admit I haven't watched much football lately because of the "thuggery" and the awful halftime shows as of late. It seems they have cleaned things up a lot! I will watch more now. I was not up on the latest rules.

I was talking about the very last play - the fumble that was clearly an incomplete pass, and they just ended the game. Arizona should have had one last play from Pittsburgh's 30 yard line. Who know's what could have happened.. Probably nothing, but now - no one will ever know. I hate that.

I'm not the world's biggest Springstein fan but at least he was really singing. The other two were lip synching. Performere lipping pre-recorded music is one of my hot buttons.

As a hack musician, I think live music should be emotive and reflect the moment. It does not need to be perfect but it does need to come from the heart. Music recorded in the studio is meant to be perfect. One can record as many takes as is required to achieve that level of perfection.

In live music, there are variables and that is the way it is supposed to be.

Any respect I may have had for Faith Hill and Jennifer Hudson as performers vanished. Even if the producer wanted pre-recorded music, the performer should refuse. If they want to listen to a CD, then play the CD and allow the performer to fight over the last chicken wing
