I'm not glued to the tube at halftime, but I understand the pomp. However, I would prefer a fifth "quarter" of football!!!!!

Big Giants fan, who thoroughly enjoyed the two Super bowls with N.E. It's was especially exciting in that they came from nowhere both times, and won the Super Bowls in dramatic fashion.
Both games. I had my heart in my mouth, as Tom Brady almost pulled it out at the end. The first game had 35 seconds left and Tom Brady threw two long passes, if caught, would have put N.E. in a position to tie the game. No fingernails left after that one, but better known for the "helmet catch" by David Tyree.
The second game almost gave me a heart attack, as Tom Brady pass to the end zone was deflected into the air and I thought for a second, "Gronk", was going to catch it. Oh No!!!! I have to see that finish on Sportscenter, for many years to come. Great throw and catch by Manningham down the sideline on the Giants last drive. As usual, Eli, proved to be a big game QB with his cool demeanor. They don't call him "Easy" for nothing. Whatever is happening, he stays the same and gets the job done.
Two of the best finishes in the Super Bowl and let's not forget "The Wide Right" game against the Bills on the last play, the field goals sailed to,
"WIDE RIGHT". I was praying he missed on that one. Poor Scott Norwood.
What a terible thing, to be remembered for.
I don't listen to all the hype leading up to the Super Bowl, as all the experts don't have a clue who's going to win. They miss with their predictions, as much as they hit. I had all the picks right, except for the Super Bowl winner.
I missed this one by a Denver Mile, in that I tought the Bronco's would blow -out to Seahawks.
Boy, was I wrong as Seatlle mugged them into submission. They beat them in all the phases of the game. The o-line dominated, their d-line dominated, special teams dominated. Well, you get the picture.
Not a competive game but that's how most Super Bowls wind -up. That's why a party atmosphere is great.
Hat's off to Seatlle, as they proved they were the best!!!!
