Goo Goo not good good. Suck suck, actually

Did anyone else see today's halftime during Fox's Thanksgiving featured game, Green Bay vs. Detroit?

Goo Goo Dolls, who are about as hip and hot as last week's lettuce and are led by someone whose last name has altogether too many consonants (how do you pronounce Rzeznik?...there he is at left), were prancing around mid-field on a "left over from Paul McCartney at the Super Bowl" stage singing unknown songs off-key whilst girls dressed as blue faeries flitted around them. Also featured: a number of fatty African-American guys in the back row, doing their en pointe relevés and échappés. If I wanted to watch Bobby Valentino toe-dancing, by God, the NFL on Fox isn't the first place I'd think to look.

The crowd was obviously as confused as l'il ol' moi. When the announcer asked for applause at the end, it was tepid, and I could distinctly hear the sound of Jimmy Johnson unscrewing the top to his in-studio hip flask and muttering, "what the fuck was that?"

Hey, Fox, instead of trying to shove pop culture mixed with bad ballet up our ass, here's an idea: can we just watch football highlights during halftime? Or maybe whats-her-name with the weather, spilling out of her mini-skirt while Terry Bradshaw slobbers at the desk? Is it too goddamm much to ask? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Amen, brother, you're preachin' to the Choir.

"Goo-Goo THIS, you fucks!"

I turned the game off at halftime because of the non-stop barrage of musical bullshit the NFL is always trying to pull off, and it never works.

well, we DID get a tit-shot from old Janet Jackson a couple years back...

... the best musical shit I ever saw related to sports was the MLB All-Star game some years back, when they got Geddy Lee to sing "O, Canada". that was, indeed, VERY cool.

Happy Thanksgiving!

"zerbomj"

yup.

I’ve been bitchin’ about that shit for years – That and the local news bullshit they put on during regular-season halftimes. I don’t much like all the yapping the analysts do either. Show me highlights and do your fuckin’ yappin’ then.
