“The game itself sets the tempo for any half time performance, the lack of energy, and enthusiasm. The commercials were all just blah. I for one thought that the half time show was the ONLY good thing I watched for the entire broadcast,” they fan continued.
“Everyone wants to trash somebody and frankly the people have been bored by Brady for 2 years now so no matter who played at half time, people would be saying the same thing. Hard to get pumped up for half time when the game is a dud. Please don’t let the negative get to you and don’t be sorry for anything.,” the fan concluded. “You were the best part of the entire program, be proud!”
