considering the halftime shows history of odd duos and appearances, I think Al appearing with a few guests he has parodied would certainly be a real possibility.

The petition currently has 122,240 signatures. That alone is impressive, but progress has slowed considerably. :unsure:

We need a telethon! I'm calling out an S.O.S. "Superbowl Or Suck it!" :gun:

Here's what I imagine for the set:

Al leads a marching band across the field, playing Sports Song. They disperse as he marches directly onto a stage where Jim, Steve, Ruben and Jon are waiting.

A few of the marching band members follow him and group together to make a "horn section." Al picks up an accordion and launches into NOW That's What I Call Polka!

Conclude with a food medley: Grapefruit Diet (accompanied by horns), Rye Or The Kaiser, Spam, My Bologna, I Love Rocky Road, Lasagna, Eat It
(Meanwhile, famous comedians/actors can dance around in giant food costumes.)

So can he say "you suck" on national TV as part of the Superbowl halftime show? Does the song work if he doesn't?

Uh....

If Janet Jackson can show her nipple, I'm pretty sure Al can get away with saying "You suck!"

The superbowl might be better if there were more sucking and nipples involved.
Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

Have you watched prime time TV recently? There are far worse things being said than, "You suck."

Actually, Janet Jackson can't show her nipple. That malfunction resulted in hefty fines.

I feel like if Al were to play this halftime show, he would definitely not play "Sports Song," one of the weakest songs on the new album. especially since it does not seem to be a pro-sports song in any way.
