    ........what the hell exactly was that half time show ?

    I had no idea Miss Betty's School of Dance had rented out the field for their recital on the same day MLS Cup was in town

    Yeah George, you should just be happy with everything the Krafts deem fit to give us at half-time!

    G-Plum - you really should foucs on what is best for the team

    a real fan would have been in the beer line at half time, helping Krafty pay the bills so we can sign Roberto Carlos to replace Franchino. :)
     
  6. ...Gregor, what you don't realize is that despite it's original intentions, the internet is used to bitch about whatever we want, whenever we want, and (depending on your creativity and knowledge in photoshop and/or macromedia flash 5/6/mx) however you want.

    ...And another thing... you've really seemed to have your head up your ass so far that you've put yourself into a double-standard, because OUR team was in the MLS Cup final, and all YOU are doing is "bitch-bitch-bitch"-ing over someone else's bickering about the halftime show. This isn't bickering, it's just showing the current situation from a birds-eye view.

    Oh, and I could've farted on a salmon and it would've been better than whatever you want to call that piece of illogical marsupial feces during half time. Have a great day. :)

    Sorry that my curiousity about the artisitic message was misinterpreted by you Gregor

    Now please feel free to go back to bottle cap talk......

    GO REVS !

    Well, someone knew where they could get some circus performers cheap. (My wife figures they were on loan from King Richards Faire)

    Then someone realized that wasn't enough out on the field, so they called a temp agency and hired the "dancers," who obviously had never worked together until Saturday afternoon.

    Why not just hire a marching band?

    I think George was making his comment with a laugh, as that's exactly how I took it.

    The half-time "show" looked to me like the bastard off-spring of Cirque de Soleil and Up With People.... costumes provided by Starlight Express.

    Funny as all Hell but not of the bovious variety :)

    I read in my local paper that all the multicolored "dancers" were from a local dance school that was asked to perform at the halftime show. And it's true, they really did have their first practice on Saturday. As for the sideshow acts, I have no idea where they came from.

    Anyone else thinking maybe Puddle of Mudd cancelled at the last minute and MLS threw together whatever they could? I sure hope so... ;)

    No, no, the hilarious part was that costumes were provided by the NY/NJ Metrostars. Didn't you see the red and black kits? Hey, that was the only way they were going to the MLS Cup so they took it. In fact I think that was Petke and Ramos doing the juggling and Howard in the circle thing.

    Of course the dose of reality was that the referee was a clown ;)

    irony, it's not just for breakfast anymore

    my initial post was a joke too, and I certainly hope George took it that way.

    This is what I heard at the tailgate before the game. Sure Kraft would have preferred something bigger to showcase his stadium.

    As long as MLS didn't have to pay anything to Puddle of Mud or pay much to those dancers - who really cares.

    The real half time contest is going to the bathroom, paying $13.00 for 2 Bass beers and getting back to your seat without spilling 50% of ther beer. Which is not easy.

    Re: irony, it's not just for breakfast anymore

    Of course I did

    Like I really cared about the artistic merit of the show

    I just wanted to know what the guy with the spinning cube was up to

    And did the guy in the cirlce thingy ever get it going ?

    Next year I say just throw up a season review on the big screens and let fans see how both teams got to the finals

    Show the goal of the year etc

    Half time shows are for high school football games so the tuba players can get a little spotlight time
