First, guys, GREAT football game, don’t forget. Let’s put the blame on the halftime show directly where it belongs: on MTV, America’s center of cultural blight. I’m sitting there watching the game with my parents, and I’m embarrassed before the Janet incident, with Nelly singing about “take off all your clothes,” and Justin Timberlake cooing “have you naked by the end of this song.” But MTV promised shock. Another musical note: Janet was doing “Rhythm Nation”? Um, MTV, that’s FOURTEEN years old. What’s this, an oldies show?

What a total difference from the end of the pregame show, with an inspiring Josh Groban song and a very classy National Anthem from a modestly beautiful Beyonce.
