According to SBNation.com, it’s reportedly another ’80s and ’90s pop queen — Madonna — who will get the nod to sing and dance in ’12 at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. The Material Girl will be the follow up to Fergie, who performed as part of the Black Eyed Peas in Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Consider that when comparing her career to Madonna’s, Jackson has been far less controversial outside of her revealing too much in a Super Bowl XXXVIII show with Justin Timberlake. Madonna has been never one to shy away from controversy, as she has used her concert tours, music videos, movies and books to push the envelope. So it’s interesting the NFL would be OK with the star of “Truth or Dare,” “Justify My Love,” “Bodyof Evidence” and the author of “Sex” representing its brand in the biggest brand.
The sports gods have been cruel beyond words lately, what with the Cowboys collapsing again and even the Gunners across the pond looking like they’ll spend their season in a relegation fight, but Madonna at the Super Bowl halftime show? That will be a great time to make a pizza run. Or something.
If Madonna is the “show” then I will not only not watch halftime but I might not watch the second half, even if the Texas Rangers are playing (ha, just kidding, I know the Rangers are baseball, it would be the Mavericks, right?).
This year it will be the Oilers against the Jaguars.
And Madonna’s show might be somewhat interesting and even informative to the Lady Gaga fans out there. As for me, it will be a good time to go make room for more soda while testing that urban legend about city water pressure dropping.
Panthers, not Jaguars. I keep getting my kitties mixed up.
Greetings:
Abusing the NFL element in your above post, I would like to report that during the playing of our National Anthem before last evening’s New York Jets–Baltimore Ravens game two Ravens’ players appeared to be wearing some kind of head coverings, one of which was shockingly pink for some reason or other.
Just when I was trying to stop worrying and love having players’ hair covering their names and/or numbers, they find a new way to antagonize. Wunderbar !!!
The pink covering is for Breast Cancer Awareness month. The NFL does this every Oct. for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Breast Cancer fundraising/awareness. It’s kinda nice they do that.
ESPN canned Hank Williams Jr. from the MNF show, because he compared Obama to Hitler. So, they’re pretty much all in.
