Report: Madonna booked to play halftime at Super Bowl XLVI

[Scurrilous]

"The long and inevitable dance toward a Super Bowl halftime performance by Madonna might've finally produced a booking for the NFL.

That according to SBNation.com, which cited sources close to the event saying the pop icon will perform at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Feb. 5.

The NFL's comment on the matter was essentially that they had no comment on the matter.

“We do not comment on the musical talent for the Super Bowl until we have something to announce,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday.
If the "Material Girl" -- can a 53-year-old woman be called a girl in any context? -- is indeed booked, the NFL will have gone back to the warhorse chest that produced other veteran acts in recent years like The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and The Who."

1. Madanna going to play halftime?

How do you play halftime? I've never heard of that game.

2. Just about anything would be better than last year.

Man, that was dreadful. Not that this is much of a step up but it is a step up. Prince will probably always be the best halftime show ever.

7. My favorite was the Rolling Stones, 2006

3. I'm not a particular fan of Lady Gaga

But wouldn't that have been a more relevant act to book?

I'd be okay with doing away with the halftime acts altogether, and just have a football game.

Madonna? Isn't that the very definition of "meh."

5. Wonder if she'll do the Like a Virgin number from the Blonde Ambition tour?

6. All about ego...she wants to do it because the others have...let's hope the playback dies...

and she's revealed for the fraud she is.
