What a brilliant idea
And this is what I hate about the Superbowl...and why I will not be tuning in (besides the fact that I don't care for football). The game seems to be secondary to the half time show, ads, fireworks, pre-game festivities. It is commercialism on steroids. All this crap taks away from the sport, in my eyes. God forbid the NHL ever gets popular in the USA.
