Richie Rich Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Awesome combination :1) The City of MiamiAND2) The WhoI would like to get a ticket - but just for the halftime show. I could give a flip about the football game. This would have to rank up there with DJ bringing back Crockett for all of 5 seconds for the Orange Bowl video intro 2 years ago. http://www.spinner.com/2009/11/12/the-who-set-to-rock-super-bowl-halftime-show/Another Super Bowl, another performance from a classic rock icon. Sports Illustrated is reporting this year's halftime spectacular will feature the Who. That's right -- Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and company will provide the musical fireworks when the game hits Miami on Feb. 7.Ever since the infamous Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake nipple fiasco in 2004, the NFL has gone with "veteran" acts and turned the reins over to one band or artist. Prior to that, there were often medleys and multiple acts, like No Doubt, Sting and Shania Twain in 2003 and the 2001 show that saw Aerosmith rocking 'Walk This Way' with Britney Spears and Timberlake.The Who certainly fit the newer mold, proving worthy successors to the recent run of Paul McCartney (2005), the Rolling Stones (2006), Prince (2007), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (2008) and this year's performance by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.With the matchup still far from decided, one thing is for certain -- a stadium of 80,000 people rocking out to 'Won't Get Fooled Again' will sound great no matter what.

Richie Rich Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 OK - we have all seen the Orange Bowl intro video from 2 years ago. You know - DJ "playfully" brings back Crockett for a few seconds. OK - here is how the Super Bowl can outdo that, this is only logical for a Miami Super Bowl. Have a little skit for Crockett and Tubbs, played by the original old dudes. I think they would both do it, as it could be done in one day of filming. The organizers know how to pull this off - just offer them game day tickets for them and all their buddies, plus Skybox seats with unlimited bar and eats. They will both take it in a second. There can be no better video intro than this. It would outdo that Orange Bowl intro - no doubt about that.Should we start a petition?
