a) Haven’t we learned our lesson’s about being a bit crazy and making a “bit comeback” in a highly publicized/televised performace?
b) I don’t like to see 40 something year olds trying to be sexy like a 20 something year old. Paula Abdul dancing like (pre bi polar onset) Britney Spears is just unneccissary.
The pool the the NFL has to choose from is quite small since nipplegate and various other scandalous former halftime shows. Additionally, someone like the Hannah Montana chick or those crazy kids of High School Musical don’t appeal to the right demographic.
Petty seems like an OK choice given the parameters.
