He looks like Ann Coulter after weeks of radioactive fallout.

Ow! That's cold! lol

“Runnin’ Down a Dream” was one of my favorite songs to listen to when I was training for my marathon!

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

I love “You Got Lucky.”

[SendShaqtoIraq]

yes, when you are illegaly taping and God knows what else, because the league destroyed all the evidence of what else he’s done

[Vision Thing]

He looks like Ann Coulter after weeks of radioactive fallout.

Petty looks like a taller version of David Spade to me.

[glock rocks]

I got tired of squirting cheese out of a can on Town Houses... pizza’s on the stone!

[REDWOOD99]

Same here! Ex-girlfriend, though. The end was punctuated by the Loma Prieta earthquake.

[Floratina]

Could be. I have noticed the singalong effect throughout his performance, not just one tune.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Dear God...please don’t let Tom Petty have a ‘wardrobe malfunction!’ LOL!

[misterrob]

Well, they established the run then went away from it when Maroney got strung out instead of hitting the holes and taking what was there. That means that Brady is going to be throwing more than he should be on that bumb ankle.

[TexasKate]

You’ve got to be kidding. This is the best half-time show I can remember. My 13 y/o just asked me to record it! Now if a 50 y/o mom and her 13 y/o son can both enjoy it-that says something!!! And Tom Petty just said “God Bless You”!!!

[Pete-R-Bilt]

she’s tuned in and turned on,

check that and turn it around

[College Repub]

David Spade used to have a bit in his standup act where he would put on a top-hat and close out his show with an over-the-top Tom Petty impersonation. So you’re not too far off base.

“Runnin’ Down a Dream” was one of my favorite songs to listen to when I was training for my marathon!

:-} Perfect.

Great Show by Petty and crew!

[Vision Thing]

Prince was great, and McCartney was just as good in the prior year.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

TOM PETTY ROCKS!!!

[pillut48]

That’s it??? Where’s the big finish, the grand finale, the fireworks????

I’m so disappointed in the halftime show! [pout]
