Apparently Justin Timberlake is the half time act for Superbowl II in Minnesota this season. Okay then...

Does this mean another wardrobe malfunction?

Maybe HE'll have one this time. Equality and all that.

Falcons win the toss and defer. Patriots start with the ball.

Looks like I'm skipping half time again.

[xskarma]

Falcons tried to trick Patriots into a corner with the kick off. They definitely mean business.

This game has an unhealthy amount of flags so far.

Agreed.. way too many flags

Listen, I hate to say it: But Justin Timberlake is a talented musician. Much more talented than Katy Perry or Bruno Mars or a bunch of people they've had in recent years. Gaga and Beyonce in the past few years are about the only stars bigger than him in the past few years, and musically, I think he's probably better caliber.

I hate to admit it, because I think boy bands are a shitty, shitty music industry practice, but he survived it and actually is good at what he does.

[xskarma]

That was a hold by Falcons, they got away with it.

[Crissi]

eh, I think his music is uninspired, and I used to be an *NSYNC fan girl. It's so slow and boring

Bruno was catchy and he could play the drums like a badass.

But this is going into non football stuff.

I feel bad for Dalton. Such a bad o line...

[xskarma]

WOOP! Blocked kick. Patriots take over.

FB Gronkowski leading RB Cooks into the endzone. xD

We're sucking pretty fucking hard right now on offense.

[Grube]

The half-time show was obviously going to have a pop headliner, since that has been the case since I think Springsteen. I don't listen to that genre, so no idea of Timberlake is even any good (at least for pop standards), or who else they could have picked.

This game taking until the 2nd quarter to have someone score is a surprise given how questionable both defenses are.

[Northern Goblin]

The Bruno half time with the Chillis a few years ago was brilliant, guy oozes showmanship.

The Gaga one is easily the best of the post Justin & Janet era.

[xskarma]

What no earth are the Falcons doing? That's the second time they go for it on 4th down and then go with a really bad play call.

Especially dumb cause now Brady has a short field to maybe get some more points. Weird.

Looks like only one team showed up.. reverse super bowl comeback in second half? we shall see

Falcons certainly have the explosive offense to do it, that's for sure.

They do.. not so explosive in the first half tho more like anemic

[xskarma]

Well that ended with a fizzle. Not sure what the plan there was but Atlanta seems lost on offense.

Me picking the Steelers for the Superbowl isn't looking too bad.

Hope that Leveon Bell doesn't get injured.. dude is carrying the team on his back.. 38 touches this week.. not sure if he can keep doing this week after week without injuring himself at some point
