Lady Gaga at the Superbowl?

[MOTOWN]

Sing, can't sing isn't really the point. If she were singing at a sissy sporting event like basketball I'd say no problem. Football is Metallica, ZZTop you know a testosterone driven sport. Football used to be a get down in the mud, dirty, bloody, ruff and tumble step on guys fingers ala Conrad Dobler, fight with...well everybody Lyle Alzado, pound Earl Campbell up the middle 40x a game, Reggie White kill the QB, play with Jack Ham broken fingers sport. A game Art Donovan could be proud of, then came the advent of AstroTurf and the sissifing of the rules. You can't touch the kicker, no touching the QB after he throws the ball, boo hoo we don't want our overpaid sissy players to get hurt. It's been a slow slide downhill ever since. Next thing you know teams will be disbanding their scantily clad cheerleaders.
After typing that all out now I understand the choice of Lady Gaga. Football has become a sissy sport.

Since when did basketball become a "sissy" sport clearly you never played that game , and while football isn't as physical as it once was history has showed us what concussions , and being beat to hell to do to long term health , just take a look at some of the old school players who can't remember the day before , or walk straight without falling , the game has changed for the better.

Let us hope she doesn't go on a psychotic Ashley Judd tirade and embarrass the planet again. That's why aliens won't make contact with us.

Hopefully they have a 10 second delay on the broadcast and someone responsible on the "OFF BUTTON"!!

With zz top mentioned a couple of times, they are actually playing at Super Bowl Live tonight in Houston.

What football fan actually watches the half time show? The show is to cater to a wider audience and draw people in who wouldn't normally watch a football game.

I respectfully disagree. The game has gotten soft. Professional players take risk that's why they are paid the big bucks. Lowest paid player made 435K(2015) and you can bet they were 3rd stringers. Now if you are talking college or high school football then maybe some extra rules need to be in play.

I used sissy when comparing the 'big 4'. Football and hockey seem the least sissy, so that leaves baseball and basketball. Baseball seems to require some sort of strategy and the players are always scratching themselves and spitting chew. Basketball is guys running one way then the other and shooting the ball. While I can appreciate their physical fitness it seems to me to be the least manly man of the 4. JMO You may disagree and that's fine. If we all agreed on everything the World would be a boring place.

I played basketball in my youth, though not well. I find it boring to play and even more boring to watch. Went to some games in college and usually left after a short stint. Just couldn't get into it.

Basketball has always been a sissy sport touch another player and its a foul.

Did you know the half time acts perform for free, yes they do it for exposer and record sales by tapping new fans.

I think it's some of the fans wanting to do the tapping?

I'm sure Charles Barkley or Shaq would love to have a conversation with you about basketball being a "sissy sport". Also, Lady Gaga has a pretty good singing voice. Maybe you would like it better if she performed with someone more your age like Tony Bennett. Oop's, she already does that.

I guess it becomes a man's sport when you get life threatening injuries that kill you or make you wanna to abuse women or commit suicide. Don't kid yourself, football has gotten soft too.

Basketball changed because people want to see "Highlight Reel" performances. It was great to see my hometown "Pistons" whip butt and win championships. The Pistons had a lot to do with how the game changed. It during this time when they were beating up on the "Bulls" and Michael Jordon. This is when the "Jordon Rules" came to be. Back then if you drove line you may have gotten away with it the first time. The second time you getting knocked on your butt. "Bad Boys Ruled"!!!!!!!!!!
All sports have changed. You don't see fighting on the ice in hockey like you used to. Baseball has a pitcher to start, a middle pitcher and a closer. Oh, and they get to pitch every 5th day. I remember Denny Mclain pitching 3 times in the 67' World Series. Back then pitchers would pitch when needed. There was only a four man rotation not five. I guess you say cars have gotten soft because they don't have the metal dashboards and drum brakes they used to have. Believe me everything has gotten soft.

Uh, she is actually quite talented - coming from a 50 some-year old musician. Might not be your preference but.....

Hell, she sings with Tony Bennett! Thier remake of Christmas songs is awesome, "I really can't stay... Baby it's cold outside..."

And while she is all over the map, you can't say she isn't talented.

BTW, Prince ROCKED the Super Bowl... In the rain!
