Here's my synopsis of what ABC has done to the superbowl...
Trial: Jeff vs. ABC
The charges: False start, Interference, Delay of game and Roughing the viewer
Charge 1: False Start.
That was a complete and utter bastardization of the National Anthem by Aretha Franklin and that other guy, Aaron Neville. The "taking artistic license" with a song has gone to far. Aaron Neville sang in two styles. Too high pitched for humans to hear (my cats heard it, and cried), and too quiet for the amplified microphone to pick up. Aretha Franklin wasn't on key, or on beat. Whatever happened to just grabing a microphone and singing it correctly?
Charge 2: Interference
Those bastards at ABC decided it would be a good idea to spout crappy facts and players stats, while plays were in motion. First rule of Superbowl: You do not talk during Superbowl.
Charge 3: Delay of Game
12 minute halftime. Period. Not a minute longer, jackasses.
Charge 4: Roughing the Viewer
The Rolling Stones circa 2006 are not the same as 'Stones circa 1966. If I were to overlook the mis-timed "Start Me Up", th off key singing (these guy have hearing aids, so I give them a bit of credit), or even Mic's getting winded after powerwalking the stage; I was offended visually by the Rolling Stones. That 60-some year old bastard CANNOT wear spandex anymore. And when doing so, why the hell is he allowed to do a striptease? And to top it all off.. he stuffed the microphone in his pants. God damnit ABC. A boob with a pastie is really, really wrong. But this wrinkley old coot can do a striptease in skin-tight clothes and "stuff" himself with a microphone.
Verdict: Guilty on all charges.
I hate you ABC.
