He would be great at halftime speeches.

Thanks a bunch - you got to fix it before I even noticed it was dead!
Cheers!

Awarding geo321 with one Power Point for fixing this video's dead embed code.

Ever since the Janet Jackson incident, the halftime show's been getting a bit more conservative. Average age of musicians that played after the Jackson incident would round about 60 years of age.

And prince was considered the 'young' one out of all of them.

Yipes.

Absolutely hilarious posting.
Thanks for sharing that!

Not to take anything away from the joy of hearing Sarah Palin booed, but these people would boo... well... Santa.

•In 1999, fans jeered Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin as he lay on the field for 20 minutes, suffering from a neck injury that ended his career.

•That same year, fans threw D batteries at St. Louis Cardinals outfielder J.D. Drew, who held out for a year after the Phillies drafted him and eventually signed with the Cards instead.

•Matthew Scott, the only person in the United States to have received a hand transplant, was asked by the Phillies to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the team's home opener in 1999. The pitch, from his transplanted hand, dribbled over the plate. The fans booed.

•Eagles fans famously blasted Santa Claus with a shower of snowballs at halftime of a game as St. Nick circled helplessly around the field before stadium officials rescued him.

That piano hook is a slowed down version of an old Nas tune, off the Halftime album. Biter.

That was the whitest thing I've ever seen. Even whiter than a Super-Bowl halftime show.

Dude is from *canada. I saw him perform at a football game halftime show. It was insane. He was running all over the field doing crazy through the legs behind the back stuff, and twirling more than one. It was like watching the Globetrotters.

I watched this game live

Some other facts that were not mentioned are below if you are interested.

Freddy Adu went on to score a hat trick (Three Goals in one game for the non-sport fans). Each goal was a work of art but the one in the clip above takes the cake.

Poland scored first in the 5th minute only to have the US tie it up again moments later.

By halftime the score was 3 USA - 1 POL. USA would go on to score 3 more to win it with a final score of 6-1.

This game was a group stage match in the U-20 World Cup which is being hosted by Canada this time.

I think the quote from the prince/halftime-show scam was "The psychology of the cat and mouse is this: The cat doesn't expect the mouse to come up to it and ask if it can use the forklift. They just don't do that."

I'd guess that the hot dog guy is used to small-time quick scams like that, so is more watchful. The guy that sold the ring? Did he ever even think that a guy would just walk up and hand him paper to pay for something? I'd highly doubt it, as that just isn't supposed to happen!

Sigh... when will people learn that security is about being vigilant, even in the areas you think should be safe, as that's where people will target...

wow, you've got the most ambivalent comments choggie
Referring to that 'o' so offensive video i sent, i took it as it was, straight from the toob. Didn't touch the title. And sorry to say but if you take it for what it says, this could indeed be the worst halftime show ever (never mind that nipple-slip saga).

Now, there is a (takes a big breath) huuuge difference between my questionable sens of humor and a video showing an infant in danger because of it's idiotic parents, don't you think ?

Drop the zeal and take life with a grain of salt man!
/not offended... but getting there

Upvote.

From my perspective, one of the Best Halftime Shows Ever.

He may be a lot of things.
Prince live is never shit.

The only debate in the States is whether Prince was the best Super Bowl halftime show ever or merely one of the best (U2 was quite good a few years ago).

The game itself was strange. The commercials were mostly dull.

Be patient. Slow start but really cool. Maybe the halftime superbowl show could learn from these guys. this is talent.
Except its a bit akward that there's cheering to the sinking of the Titanic.
