    I would have bet just about any amount of money that they would have tried for Taylor Swift or Carrie Underwood or Kenny Chesney for a Dallas Super Bowl. Maybe they did and they said no.

    Chesney was begging to do it way back during last year's Super Bowl. Zippy chance he turned down an offer. None.

    I would have liked to see some kind of Texas Blues tribute led by ZZ TOP.

    Nah...Carrie Rozelle is dead. She served on UWP's board of directors for a LONG time.....that's how they scored the half time shows (and associated pay days, to the organization).

    That's actually pretty cool that they would be in line with the masses rather than in the dressing room being waited on hand and foot.

    I doubt anyone at the Grey Cup gets VIP treatment.

    Unlike you, I've never covered it, so I wouldn't know.

    I bet the Black Eyed Peas suck live. Absolutely suck.

    The appeal of that group's music is excellent production, heavy use of synthesizers and all sorts of bells and whistles in the recording studio. Part of me think the producers of BEP music should get about 95 percent of the cut.

    The Black Eyed Peas' live music, I imagine, sounds absolutely nothing like the stuff the fans like. Because they can't replicate it by themselves.

    It might be as bad as Ashlee Simpson screaming "MAKE YOU WANNA...SCREEEEEEEEEEEAM" at the Orange Bowl.

    Darelle Revis can't cover Fergie's swagger.
    My guess for this year would've been either a country act or Madonna - she appeals across genres, she's old enough and big-time enough. Controversial? Hey, they got past Townshend's alleged kiddie porn adventure.
    This year, it'll either be the Puppy Bowl (even if it's not the same without Harry Kalas) or, if Mike Judge and MTV get their act together, Butt Bowl. I'm already longing for the days of the In Living Color Halftime Party and the Undertaker-Mankind boiler room match.

    I remember watching the first Butt Bowl. 49ers-Chargers, right?

    I'm still holding out for a return of the Florida A&M band. Why not? It's hipper than any of the acts they've had for the past decade.
