The halftime acts already play for free. I guess this is the logical next step.

Also, there's no way in hell Coldplay is going to be chosen.

Playing for free is cool. You get to get you or your band in front of a BILLION people and free publicity for weeks. They probably make millions on I-Tunes downloads of their music.

The NFL is making enough money on the Super Bowl. There halftime shows suck for the most part already. This can't help, if true.

Please Katy Perry. At least it will be watchable.

Hopefully she has a nip slip.

can we pay them not to play- what a shit selection.

I'd pay $100 a season to not have announcers in my audio. Instead subbed with players and coaches. The ability to follow a coach or player etc like NASCAR

Do you ever go back and watch the old games before constant announcing? It's ****ing amazing.

I'd give anything just to have the ambient sounds of the game.

Yes

It seems slightly greedy. Don't the halftime shows usually already have a sponsor--Pepsi presents Beyonce!

I'm not sure I really even believe this. The article mentions three "finalists." I don't recall ever hearing about "finalists." Usually, they just announce who it is.

Seems like the big hitters--those acts that would actually attract an audience--would tell them to **** off.
And anyone willing to pay to play wouldn't be 'big' enough, so the NFL wouldn't want them anyway.

American idol winners!!!!!! Amirite?

From what I hear about what the kids are into these days, Katy Perry is ****ing everywhere.

Coldplay? No way in hell they are playing the Super Bowl.

Does that sounds like a Jerry Jones idea, or is that just me?

You knew they had no limits when they actually locked the players out because the owners said they needed a bigger cut. They are going to bleed every dollar they can out of the product. People are crazy about football and they have a license to print money.
