I prefer the skills contests because it gives you something to cheer/boo about. The kids football is just silly although I'm sure for those kids is an amazing experience. I have only seen the dogs with the frisbee's once, and it was ok, but I'd rather have the fat white guy and the old black man out there trying to catch punts.
I just dug up a report on that incident for those not familiar with the story. Bizarre to say the least.... True story. In 1979 at Shea Stadium, in a football game between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots, the halftime show featured an aerial circus of remote-control airplanes. One of those craft was our flying mower. The mower was the star attraction, zipping the length of the field and buzzing around the flagpole to the applause of thousands of Jets fans. Until, that is, the machine went into a dive from which it never recovered, slamming into the bleachers and striking two people, one of whom later died. David (last name withheld), who today lives in Colorado, was there and saw it happen. "The last demonstration was the flying lawn mower," he remembers. "It was painted red. Until this point in the program, all the planes had been kept over the field. The mower was much faster than the others, however, and the pilot brought it back across the crowd. It passed above my head, then out for a second run toward the flagpole. Over the crowd, it began to lose altitude, crashing into the stands at about the 50-yard line. The pilot was standing near me. He was a barber by profession, I remember hearing."
:rofl: its funny because when i was going to the games like 1/2 years ago these guys in our section were screaming at the marching band because they wanted the dogs to come out. They got so pissed off when they did do the dog show
I'm thinking instead of frisbees, just have it like a giant dog run park for 20 minutes. Let them all chase each other around and fight over toys and stuff.
I think we should have a man covered in steaks on the 50 yd line, and release an assortment of wild animals onto the field.
WTF, where is the Oreo Stacking option, or the baby crawling race option? Hell, where is the fat women doing aerobics?
I only had four options for the poll and wanted to be sure to include the dogs. The baby races were pretty good though, because the moms would be down there on their hands and knees, some good cleavage and asscrack viewing there.
I was 9 years old then. 'til this day we will bring that up at least once during some half time show during the year...... That and the Bob Cleveland Band they had out past the end zone in centerfield of Shea.
I think it was '84 or '85 but the band they had playing at halftime came out and instread of spelling out J E T S with the members of the band, the band tried to use green streamers to spell out J E T S....of course with the wind at the Meadowlkands it did not work. They were booed.
I'm afraid that would just lead to more pondering of who let the dogs out. I don't believe the question was ever answered.
Oh no, the ONLY two halftime shows I enjoy are both on there. It's dead even between Pee-Wee Football and Frisbee Catching Dogs... but I went with the canines.
Shame on whoever voted marching bands! No one likes marching bands except those directly involved with marching bands!
Well to be honest, I'm usually waiting in the restroom line at halftime. One thing I'm looking forward to in the new stadium is bigger and more numerous rest rooms !!!!!
Why not all 4 suggestions at the same time. Think of the mirth that would create. Kids ball goes down the Tuba, dogs getting tangled up with the band,freaking out at the symbals. If there is a chance an old person is going to get hit on the head with a football or a frisbee this would be it.
