At least a few teams have gone away from this, which started immediately after 9/11. It was fine then, but it's no longer necessary now. (Much like having "guest singers" do "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley in place of the late Harry Carey.)<br /><br />@Ken: I thought Bruno Mars looked more like early James Brown, but that's just me.Curt Alliaumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875046706746482871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-80864640345572353082014-02-03T12:25:26.354-08:002014-02-03T12:25:26.354-08:00I know you're probably waiting on a response f...I know you're probably waiting on a response from Ken... The writer/creator/producer of the show usually owns the rights in TV... but they do get paid residuals for its use... But if the character is being use in a totally different context... the creator usually gets the nod... Like Ray Bradbury and Star Trek franchise. Stan Lee was smart, he never sold his property... so now, he owns it all...W.

How about creating a pre-game concert that would draw non-P1 fans to the telecast for starters?<br /><br />Picture this -- for a game with an 8:05 first pitch.<br /><br />1. The game and series starts on Saturday night.<br />2. At 7:30, you get an 15-minute on-field concert by an A-list star comparable to what you get at the Super Bowl.<br />3. At 7:50, player introductions (speed them up so they're over by 7:58]<br />4. Another A-list star does the national anthem.<br />5. Now... the most radical idea. Instead of the solemn moment of "God Bless America" at the 7th inning stretch, get that pre-game concert headliner to do ONE MORE SONG... then lead the crowd in "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." Give it pizzazz and make it LARGER THAN LIFE.<br /><br />Remember the NFL does not feel the need to do "God Bless America" at the two-minute warning. Don't kill the dramatic momentum of a good game on the big stage, Instead, let's make it bigger.Mike McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369457898152250682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-45248502035127151682014-02-03T06:03:47.584-08:002014-02-03T06:03:47.584-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mike McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369457898152250682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-6244696150770244062014-02-03T05:57:48.254-08:002014-02-03T05:57:48.254-08:00I guess my age is showing, but I don't underst...I guess my age is showing, but I don't understand why the Peppers weren't the main half time act and why the other guy wasn't just a backup singer.<br />And was it immature to laugh at the last name of that Fort Drum soldier in the Bud commercial?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-23466858670445619442014-02-03T05:02:08.661-08:002014-02-03T05:02:08.661-08:00Ken, That "Pam Oliver looks like a muppet...&...Ken, That "Pam Oliver looks like a muppet..." line was classic!W.
