This could get interesting. As much as I like the Who, it might be best that the NFL dump Townshend and get a different act.Since the NFL decided to hire Pete Townshend for the upcoming Super Bowl event all hell has broken loose.

I agree with you. It would probably be best for the NFL to find someone else.

I had to read the title of this thread about 6 times to figure it out. lol
I can't wait till I'm old enough that the Super Bowl entertainment is actually meant for me and not my Dad

I really hope they don't dump them. Townshend is a BAD ASS. They could put together a great 3 or 4 song set.

He was cleared of the kiddie porn charges, but still had to be registered in the UK for 5 years. If you scroll down after the article, there is a 6 page paper written by Townshend explaining why he did what he did. Sounds like a pretty reasonable explaination to me.

Why can't the NFL have a Superbowl halftime show with someone after I was born? What's with these old ass groups?

i dont think there is any reason to get upset about this.
townshend was cleared of charges, and it was known to the public that he was doing research for a book that he was trying to write.
the police found 0 evidence of child pornography on the computers that he had confiscated.

Figure out who is really watching. More old people than young. Plus, I have four kids that love The Who.

Does it really matter who they have for the halftime show, in the end something ends up controversial.
Look on the bright side... It keeps us entertained.
What they should do is have a child sit on Townsend's lap while he sings....
That would be a hoot! I can just imagine the headlines.....
There was a great one from my local paper over the holiday weekend. "Tales from Santa's Lap."
