SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
They just absolutely refuse to have any relevant artist perform at half time, don't they
Black Eyed Pees last year doesnt count.

HA! I forgot all about that. Oh well, shows you what I'm not into.

They tried for Bieber, but Jimmy Johnson flew into a fit of hair-based jealousy rage, so they had to nix it.
Maybe Madonna at halftime will bode well for New England. The Pats prevailed in the burner at Reliant when Janet Jackson hosted her surprise real estate showing.

I don't know, I've always associated Madonna more with basketball and baseball.

If you told me last month that I'd wake up on October 3rd and be disappointed that the Bills were 3-1, I would have slapped you silly. Yet, here we are. They should have won that game.

That's not what their offensive statistics say. I honestly tought that Fitzpatrick would be out to make a point to the Bengals about letting him go a few years back. I was really impressed that the young defense hung in there and shut down the vaunted Bills offense long enough to allow the comeback. The Bengals have already won two more games than I thought they would this season, and it coulda been three if Marvin let Nugent try that 53 yard game winner in Denver in week 2.

How will we know if we're ready for some football? Hank Williams Jr. says Speaker of the House John Boehner's golf game with President Obama was "one of the biggest political mistakes ever." "It's like Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu." ESPN drops Hank Williams Jr. from 'Monday Night Football'

The best thing Hank Williams Jr ever did was to sire Hank Williams III.

Madonna performing at the Super Bowl half time? They just absolutely refuse to have any relevant artist perform at half time, don't they? It's all old geezers waaaay past their prime.
