The nice thing about watching the Super Bowl here on west coast time was that I was able to turn on the local 5 o'clock news and the NBC Nightly News while the half-time show was on. However, when I turned the game back on, the 49ers had picked up a bunch of points that I missed. Normally I couldn't care less about the Super Duper Bowl or any other sporting event but decided I wanted to get involved by placing a bet on the game. Went to the casino and placed a $10 bet on the Crows to win since they were the underdogs and had a better return on my investment. I mean the Ravens. I was really getting nervous during the last quarter of the game. Heard that the '9ers won 5 out the 6 Super Bowl they were in on so they needed a come down.

Crows are Very intelligent birds - a group of them is "a murder" Read: 6-terrifying-ways-crows-are-way-smarter-than-you-think.

Our Super Bowl Champs by any other name still have the trophy! ;-)

I think that ALL of the performers who sing the Anthem are doing it to plug themselves...The Anthem to me has 2 parts. One to let everyone sing along with it, and two to make one actually FEEL something. This rendition had neither. It had no feeling ...I say bring back the big bands to perform the song like in the old days....Take a kid from the school systems across the country, bring them together for one rehearsal and the performance. Have the jets fly overhead....I dont care about the halftime show and the commercials are getting more stupid and are an insult to a normal person's intelligence......

As an Englishman, I do not like the idea of the American National Anthem turned into another pop song for some singer to use to use to show off how they can ruin a good melody.

As Americans, if we want an English opinion, we'll tell you what it is.

Typical. Wonder why Americans are 'loved' around the world?

Prairie Seasons: Having read lots of your posts, I have always wondered if you were a just plain idiot, or if you have some actual justification for your lack of civility and constant spewing of hate. Now I'm sure - just plain idiot. :-)

Is it just me, or did Alicia Keys performance of the "Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl seem to be all about HER?
Her slow and plodding rubato tempo prevented the crowd from singing along (some people like to do that!), highlighted by the sideline closeups of Ray Lewis' frustrated attempt to do so. I think it would have been far more tasteful if she'd played a steady, singably accessible version, and she should've shown off her formidable piano skills instead of trying to dazzle us with vocal flourishes (which other singers do better anyway).
I think Jennifer Hudson's lead-in rendition of "America the Beautiful" had a far more genuine feel to it, though entirely predictable...

Hey Doc ..... there ya go again trying to think, some people never learn .....
