Reminder: Game Should Be The Show

Mike Penner of the Los Angeles Times weighed in on the Super Bowl halftime show when *NSYNC star Justin Timberlake exposed the breast of Janet Jackson. Penner writes, “The lesson is out there for the taking, not that it necessarily means anything for the future of the Super Bowl, the NFL or network television, but it bears repeating after the league and CBS discovered Sunday that cover-two is not an essential strategy during the halftime show: Football is football, and entertainment is entertainment, and both are much better off when they stay in different arenas and stick to what they know best.”
