One of the biggest criticisms in the wake of Super Bowl XLIV focused on the halftime show, which featured a couple of guys whom we vaguely recall openly choosing death before old age.

Apparently, not every birthday wish comes true.

So will the trend toward rockers-who-need-walkers continue, or will the event again skew a bit younger?

The next Super Bowl will be televised by FOX, and the guy who runs the show there recently was asked whether the halftime show will feature performers under the age of 60.

"Oh, please, God, yes," FOX Sports Chief Executive David Hill told Joe Flint of the Los Angeles Times. "If I saw [Who guitarist] Pete Townshend's belly again I was going to throw up. In his younger days it might have been rippling muscle, but now it's like mine -- rippling fat. From the conversations I've had with the NFL, we won't need oxygen."

Generally, it's good news. Then again, there are plenty of younger acts that, well, suck.

We're officially pulling for Green Day, which would fit nicely with the perceived marijuana epidemic among incoming rookies.

Can we also say NO to teen bobbers and voice synthesizers?

If they get Kesha/Lady Gaga/Beyonce/etc I'm going to throw up.

I would LOVE to see a Muse halftime show. If they insist on going rap/hip hop then at least get someone like Cudi/Lupe Fiasco/etc, instead of insert random autotune artist

If they go younger and hipper I think they should have joint performances....

If you want hip-hop you have to choose someone like Jay-Z, He has recognition and will be responsible enough to have a performance that won't make the NFL & Fox nervous.

Then you have a band like Daughtry, or Nickelback. Finally you could go with some female pop or R&B artist. There is a lot of them that could fit the role

I mean, I see what you're saying. They have to be cautious after the Janet Jackson thing, but PLEASE NO at any current "pop" stars like Gaga or Kesha. I flat out won't watch the halftime show if that happens. I would be fine with Jay-Z though.

      Bryce laughing (from game day thread)

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.

      This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach
