Springsteen to play Super Bowl halftime show Sun Sep 28, 2008 11:06pm EDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will play the half-time slot at the Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida, snagging the spot at the most-watched musical event of the year, according to the organizers. This year, more than 148 million viewers in the U.S. watched Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers play at the championship game of American football, the National Football League said on Sunday. Other recent acts have included Prince, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and U2. The most infamous performer was Janet Jackson, who bared her breast during the 2004 event, triggering a crackdown on televised smut. The Super Bowl will be televised by NBC.

Now if only the Giants can get back we can have a New Jersey Super Bowl in Tampa.
Meh, he's ok IMO (sorry Real ) They've been going with the old timer acts a lot lately. McCartney, Petty, and now Bruce.
The half-time shows have bored me in recent years. The only one that was worth watching (Janet/Justin Timberlake), we decided at our party to play GTA at halftime, because we thought the half-time show would be too boring. Then when we turn it back on for the start of the 3rd, and the announcers were talking about what happened, we were just like: "Darn!".
Not neccesarily. Janet Jackson's technically an old-timer. But she showed her tits five years ago. They just want anyone over 40, but anyone over 40 that won't show their tits.
The half-time show is your best opportunity to piss, grab a fresh plate of food, and down a few more brews.
Really, who watches the halftime show? Im usually the guy thats passed out in the 2nd quarter. Its a good thing my team never makes it there, or Ild be passed out before the game starts.
