I didn't think it was a show off in the least. Whitney Houston was a show off to the nth degree. Compared to that, this was the most modest performance I've seen of it in a long time. It appeared to me she was singing live, but network TV does what it wants and who really knows. The last lip synch I was sure of in the Superbowl was Shania Twain who was really bad at lip synching and the entire performance was awful. Prince last year in the pouring rain was the best Super Bowl performance I've ever seen and I can't think of anything even close to it. He was on fire looking like an artist at the peak of his career rather than late in it (and after much of the world had moved on to other things). I am surprised folks have already forgotten it.. but then again, a lot of folks can't even remember who played in the games, let alone who performed the music.

I was actually far more satisfied with the Giants win than I was with our home town Colts winning last year. I've never previously rooted for an NFC team (having grown up in the middle of the Bengals, Browns, Colts and Steelers during my life).

The fact that the Patriots had the INTENT to cheat is a disgrace. I could care less if they were successful or not. If they were willing to cross that line, then it's no different than if they paid off referees or opposing team members to win. Cheating is cheating. Intent to cheat is cheating. I think they should have to forfeit all games in any season they attempted to cheat. Anything less brings the entire integrity of the league into question.
