Wakeup Call: Who’s That Girl … Madonna to sing at Super Bowl halftime show
Oct 3, 2011, 9:00 AM EDT
Reuters Great, I love ’80s Nights! You may have heard the news by now: Since the Lions are 4-0 for the first time since 1980, the NFL is bringing in Madonna to sing at the Super Bowl halftime show this season, reportedly. Here’s some sample Twitter reaction to this news:
@PeytonsHead
Madonna is performing at the Super Bowl? Maybe the Bills really are good this year, considering we’ve warped back in time 20 years.

Madonna to perform at SB halftime. absolutely NO WAY there’s a wardrobe malfunction there right, right?
@bruce_arthur Bruce Arthur
Madonna performing at halftime of the Super Bowl? I bet Joe Montana and John Elway will really enjoy that before they play the second half.
@BeisnerKSR Thomas Beisner
Madonna will perform during halftime, ensuring that Jeff Garcia will finally make it to the Super Bowl.

Madonna playing SB halftime this yr after BEP last year.. we keep creeping backwards here, people. by SB48, it’s going to be Boz Scaggs.
@jh_moore Jack Moore
Madonna, huh? Another Super Bowl halftime spent playing Super Smash Bros it is.
@suss2hyphens Matt Sussman
Guess the Muppet Halftime Show won’t be until 2013. That’s fine.

They need to stop letting Al Davis’s grandfather pick the Super Bowl halftime acts.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT
What you missed while saying goodbye to Andy Rooney’s eyebrows …
- Red Sox bus ad is both amusing, sad.
- Matt Cassel and Todd Haley get into a shouting match on the sideline, but it’s hard to take seriously due to one of them wearing a pink hat.
- Scientists are still trying to figure out what Eagles running back Ronnie Brown was trying to do here. (And watch Vick walk back to the sideline as it’s happening). #dreamteam

TODAY IN MARK TRAIL …
The longer you’ve been married, the more elaborate the role playing, especially in Canada.

They need to drop the halftime shows altogether. Run an episode of a sitcom or something, but stop with these crappy halftime shows that no one gives a damn about.
Oh – and the only thing you need to know about Mark Trail is that McQueen is about to fit Andy with four little concrete shoes.

With any luck, Beavis and Butt-Head will be back by then, and we can watch the Butt Bowl. If not, the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. Or the Toilet Bowl, in my bathroom.

Way to strike while the iron is hot NFL. For 2013 I hear they’ve already started to work the back channels to get Salt N Peppa lined up.

The halftime shows are a joke.
I wish the Super Bowl were treated solely as an epic ball game, not some big celeb extravaganza.

Come on now, Madonna hasn’t been a big celebrity for at least a decade. This is just sticking with their formula of getting a crappy modern radioshit band one year and an ancient one nobody has cared about for decades the next year. They should have just gotten Radiohead to perform.

People will just think it’s Lady Gaga.
