I liked Petty's performance ( I actually was tuned in for the championship game ) but many of my younger and some diverse ethnic co-workers not only were bored and went to the bathroom or outside for a smoke but many had no idea who he / they were. It all went awry with poor Janet Jackson's performance. Word has it that it will be many years before we see anything "really" exciting at halftime again.

But from an American Football fan's (the American game not the American fan) perspective that was about the best game since 2001 (when my Ravens beat this year's victorious Giants). I mean it had it all - but then again if you don't like American Football I'm sure it was about exciting as watching your relatives get drunk. To each their own, eh ?
