    They could always let Rosie O'Donnell sing the national anthem.

    I'm not a sports guy.

    But I imagine that halftime is a major opportunity for exposure. It's about the most profitable publicity I could imagine.

    When I was speaking more regularly (paid speaking in front of audiences) there were times, when I would have paid to speak....although nobody ever asked me to. A big enough audience? And you have something to sell or promote?

    Sure. Maybe not in the "Spirit of the game", but I'm sure there are takers. After all, they pay for advertising spots, which is what a halftime show could be.


    To be fair, I never watch sports, and barely know what halftime is. So if this idea is offensive to anyone, sorry.

    What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

      In a packed half time line up we have Janet Jackson exposing her boobs, Justin Bieber thusting his hips at teenage girls and finally the Claude Whitacre Local Marketing Seminar.

      So if you had enough money to pay for it, this could become reality. And, despite any comical connotations implied you could become a very rich man based on the exposure.

    As poor as some of the halftime shows have been in recent years maybe they should pay!

    I think a lot of top performers would balk at the idea of them paying to play. I can see where some up-and-comers would pay if they could afford it -- the exposure could take them places they've never been.
