On the heels of entertaining (or at least competent) halftime performances by Prince and Tom Petty, the NFL has reportedly lined up Bruce Springsteen to play the intermission at Super Bowl XLIII next February.
Super Bowl XLIII on Feb. 1 in Tampa will feature Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, sources said. "He was just confirmed," a spy added. "Little Stevie (Van Zandt) has already rented out the Hard Rock Café for a party." A Boss rep didn't return calls or e-mails.
Oh man. I hope they realize what they've done. Halftime's gonna last three hours now. And that's before he plays five encores.
Seriously though, I hope this is true. Before Petty was announced last year the big rumor was that the Eagles would play. I don't care how you feel about "Born in the U.S.A.", at least part of it is about Marines dying at Khe Sanh. I'll take that over fucking "Witchy Woman" eight days a week.

Who's going to play next year, Hall & Oates?
I saw Bruce at the Meadowlands on 7/31. I heart him.
That is all.
From my desk here in Delaware, I think I just heard the entire state of New jersey just splooge their pants.
Me? I was rooting for a Bernie Mac comedy set about how pneumonia isn't just for 19th century honkeys anymore.
How DOES the NFL stay on top of what's hip and cool like they do? I'll never know.
Re: Marines — last year's Gen Kill was the tits.
Make that last NIGHT'S Gen Kill.
The Dude: Jesus, man, could you change the channel?
Cab Driver: Fuck you man. If you don't like my fuckin' music get your own fuckin' cab!
The Dude: I had a rough…
Cab Driver: I pull over and kick your ass out!
The Dude: Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!
i can't wait till the current baby boomers die off because i have no fucking clue who'll play halftime when i'm in my 50's.
/prays it's not janet jackson
//nfl won't cater to me because i'm not white
Oh, Witch-ay Woman…
Once again, the No Fun League plays it safe. I'm waiting for the Lawrence Welk Review and Patsy Cline tribute halftime show.
/I hope The Boss doesn't flash any gang signs…
Oh, Witch-ay Woman…
She got the moon in her eeeeyyyhi-uh-EYYYYYYYS!
Ambrosia must have already been booked at some casino that night.
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night…you ain't a beauty, but hey you're all right…and that's all right with me…
/emotionally erect at the prospect of Thunder Road at halftime
wow a superbowl halftime show worth watching? cant be true
If he plays "You Get the Best of My Love," we'll call it even.
I want an old fashioned Up With People style halftime show with two hundred singers and dancers… maybe Abba and the Albuquerque cast of Mamma Mia.
And no, I'm not Lamar Hunt's corpse.
I would prefer Isaac Hayes.
Well, at least it's better than the Shina Twain/No Doubt combo from years ago. Having to hear "Just a Girl" at a Superbowl halftime event made me "feel like a woman."
I'll glory hole for a Glory Road
@drunken eagles fan: I feel your pain re: Bernie Mac. I ask you now, where on earth are we going to find another black comedian that can show us how funny it is when white people dance? Where, I ask you?
