The Giants got off to a great start, forcing Tom Brady into a safety via penalty on the Patriots' first offensive drive. They followed that up with a crisp touchdown-scoring drive as Eli Manning connected with Victor Cruz. The Patriots proceeded to march down the field, but the Giants' defense came up with a stop and forced a field goal to make it 9-3 Giants. The Giants seemed to be in control of the half, but the Patriots got the ball back for a two-minute drill and marched all the way down the field -- 14 plays, 96 yards, for the go-ahead touchdown. It is 10-9 Patriots heading into halftime.

First?
BiggieBrown - February 5, 2012
Cool. Never done that before. I don’t feel any different.
BiggieBrown - February 5, 2012
I miss the frank and Louie bud commercials
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Bud…
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
…wise…
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Turns out I am the only one here.
BiggieBrown - February 5, 2012
I’m here not via mobile all of the sudden.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012
It’s quiet in here, but surely it’s not any worse than this halftime show is going to be.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012
kinda liked that commercial with madonna.
bross09 - February 5, 2012
This entrance is horrendous.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
What the hell is happening?
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Not following the choreography…
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
#Lipsync Show
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Clearly. There’s more speaker pumped lyrics than when she actually fakes moving her mouth.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
The ENTIRE show…
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
I had that Playboy when I was 14. lol Looks better now than then. But that face is lookin’ like a surrogate.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
That white afro guy shouldn’t be proud of that.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Show just got slightly better.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Didn’t it? lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Got shitty again.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
For the ladies, maybe. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Been awhile. She needed to ‘warm up’. Dancing got better.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
NIKKI DESTROYING IT!
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Yeah that shit was awesome
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
0.o
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
I don’t get why they just cant have 1 artist perform at halftime
UnSafe 70 - February 5, 2012
Because Michael Jackson is dead.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
no single artist deserves what this gig pays.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
lmfao doesn’t deserve 10% of what the gig pays.
bross09 - February 5, 2012
Didn’t they literally buy their way into mainstream music? They were already rich.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
they did grow up in an affluent neighborhood…that’s all I know.
bross09 - February 5, 2012
I approve this message. Metallica will Rock the World though!
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Dammit. This was not meant to be here. Sorry.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I approve this message. Metallica will Rock the World though!
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Um so I still don’t wanna luv madonna?
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
She could still be my ‘boy toy’ tho. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Alright, looks like I’m not missing out on much.
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Everything that is not football is everything that is wrong with the Super Bowl.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Couldn’t have just had LMFAO, Nikki and Cee Lo Green? Why the need for Madonna?
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
and MIA
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
I had never seen MIA in person till just then.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
mia barely sang anything, pretty much showed up to be there.
bross09 - February 5, 2012
That might be a good thing. She’s pretty hit or miss
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
Will Smith’s version of Paper Planes is better than the original
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Haven’t heard it but will be checking it out, I think she does it pretty well and she has some good stuff on Galang, but some of it gets tedious.
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
Paper Planes to Bel-Air.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
agreed, not complaining.
bross09 - February 5, 2012
demographics
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
she has totally dragged down this whole halftime
just sayin
UnSafe 70 - February 5, 2012
The guys in the choir are wearing dresses.
And I think they have busts
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
This is really freakin’ over the top.
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Conpensation.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
This is really freakin’ over the top.
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Expect anything different?
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
This is really freakin’ over the top.
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012

HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
Conpensation
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Constipation.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
There is such a thing as too many artists onstage…this halftime show is darn close.
bross09 - February 5, 2012
This is really freakin’ over the top.
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
Expect anything different?
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
hahahaha
emily522 - February 5, 2012
The only good thing about this are those sick graphics on the field.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Those were awesome
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
Contributing artists were the reason that wasn’t the worst halftime ever.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
bridgestone should of payed me for watching that
UnSafe 70 - February 5, 2012
I want free tires after that.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
.I’m 41. I’ve seen worse. Recently, Prince blew that away.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Good calls on both
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
Metallica is going to blow them all away.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I approve of Blake Shelton getting drop kicked.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Omg that’s All it took for world peace!! God I’m such an idiot why didn’t I think of that. I could have just burned it inthe yard years ago..
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Pretty sure that’s a hate crime.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Rec. LMAO!
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
That was the most stereotypical American performance i have ever seen
-A Canadian watching the halftime show with an American roommate
BrownEye - February 5, 2012
Women with no entertainment value are ravving on my feed about Madonna.
Want to smack a hoe on all of them.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Ha.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Me wants SRT8 Charger. :fap:
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Dodge ruined the Charger in ‘12. The retro stamping in the doors doesn’t suit the new body line.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Are you kidding me? That’s the best the Charger has looked and performed since the late 60’s.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
I love the ‘11 SRT8. Can’t stand the sight of the ‘12 Charger. Haven’t seen the ‘12 SRT8 but it won’t measure up.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Ridiculous. Everything that rolls out of Chrysler in ’12 is going to be top notch and the best version of every name they own.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Only if it says SRT8 on it.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Get off my lawn!!!!!
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
AMERIKA FUCK YEAH
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
When was the last time that there was a good halftime show?
emily522 - February 5, 2012
OSU v Michigan back in November
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
Imo, Prince rocked it. The guitar playing was incredible. Wasn’t a fan of his previously.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Of I had a charger right I’d go do burn outs in the yard that spelled out. World peace
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Bud…
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Ugh I don’t want the Patriots to win.
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Money in the bank celebration was awesome. Might edge out the salsa dance.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Would’ve spiked it since he has to be Gronk tonight.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Commercials are severely lacking.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Three year old just yelled out go browns when he heard the tv say touchdown .. LOl. He thinks all teams are the browns
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
You’re doing it right.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
That just made me cry a little bit. I think that is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read.
BiggieBrown - February 5, 2012
Awesome. More likely, one day the Browns will be the only team.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Yea me too just hope he don’t hate me when he grows up and they still suck.
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
If that’s what he turns into, you renounce him
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
tell him he was ‘Grandfathered in’. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Very high completion %. Eli with 81 and Brady with 87.
emily522 - February 5, 2012
And I was just reading an article on yahoo about the SB records that will never be broken and one was Simms’ 88 comp %
bross09 - February 5, 2012
RIP SIMMS!
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Really that’s what pepsi came up with??
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Toyota commercial was pretty awesome.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Coke was cute again.
emily522 - February 5, 2012

emily522 - February 5, 2012
John Stamos getting rocker gets an A+ from me.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
John Stamos + Oikos= WTF
emily522 - February 5, 2012
HONDA COMMERCIAL!
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
No soup for you!!!!!!
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
WOW!!!
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
A NEW NSX. Suuuuhweet! Funny comm too.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
DAT 500HP V6 REV.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Wow. I WANT THAT! lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
With KERS and SH-AWD, it’s going to be one of the top Super Cars on the market sitting around $100,000.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
I figured. If you had one, you could trade your 20 year old NSX, for a ‘12 Mustang GT. Maybe even get a ’lil boot’ to go with it.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I’ll just stick with the ’14 Cobra for now, at the top of my wishlist.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Blasphemy. Why would anyone ever consider doing that to their vintage NSX? They’re still some of the most powerful cars on the road.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
They still got that sexy look too.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Of course they are. You give me a lowered NSX with a wide body kit and supercharger kit and I’ll give you my first born son.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Just give me the NSX and the supercharger kit. I’ll install it and lower it myself. Keep the body kit. It’s not needed. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Well of course not. But a wide kit NSX looks REALLY good. I’m adamantly against body kits too.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
If you don’t have one, I’ll take your Supra. The only other rice burner I’d want.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
No way. STi/ EVO 9.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
I like it, but I’d rather mod my own ’stang.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
No offense but disgusting. If I go muscle, I’ll take a ZR1/ ZL1
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
I hated Fords until ‘04 because I was a Chevy man since birth. I’ve hated Chevys since then because of a number of negative experiences with GM employees. Swore I’d never buy another GM in my life. And I meant it. The following year the retro ‘stang came out. First Ford I ever liked. Eventually, after comparing the similarities to previous Gens’ I’ve since come to like the looks of cars, that compiled from childhood into a young adult.Now, Fords got the best looking of the American-owned fleets’ out there.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Ford can occupy my left nut.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
LMAO I used to say the same thing. But, now I know. I was wrong all along and Ford guys were right. Chevy cannot match Fords performance. Excluding the vette.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Bill Elliott was driving a Ford around Talladega when NASCAR said, “we got to slow these cars down”. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Foreign or die.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Truth in Engineering. V8s, stick shifts and all-wheel drive. What’s not to like?
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
BTW: Those 20-30 midwest/NE GM employees were strangers that live a minimum of at least 100 miles from me. So, They’ll never know that I meant it. But I really did. LOL
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
No offense but vettes aren’t muscle. They’re sports cars.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Heard anything about a new one of those coming out?
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Supra? Not going to happen. Toyota is putting all their money for performance into Lexus.
LF-A, V8 Lexus IS-F. Dayum.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
I didn’t think so. It’d prob be cool if they did tho. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Eh, I can live without it
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Me too. But if somebodys gonna ‘give one away’, I’ll take it. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Did y’all see us I saw browns at superbowl really really I did I did !!!
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Wooohhoooooo!!!!!
Wait only 6?
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
They don’t count aafl for some dumbass reason

SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012

She just sexy.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Ooooh that was close
emily522 - February 5, 2012
This game really sucks!! Or do I miss my browns already
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Warren sighting
BiggieBrown - February 5, 2012
Big Money
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
This game is boring.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Yep
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Still potential for an exciting finish though.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I prefer close games, even if I want the Pats to lose.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
I work out!!!!! Wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
CANTON JUST GOT REPPED!
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
But Ray Lewis had to narrate.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Yes!
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Hahahahahahahahhah Tommy is sad!!!
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
HONDA COMMERCIAL!
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
The extended versions of both commercials are so much better.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Good commercial
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Ferris Bueller Sighting!!!!
bross09 - February 5, 2012
Patriots fan on Twitter: “When will we get a break to go our way?”
you poor thingemily522 - February 5, 2012
Giants lost 2 TEs and now their starting FS and they are getting all the breaks???
bross09 - February 5, 2012
Honda and Doritos are winrars tonight.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Nothing has come even remotely close to the M&Ms commercial.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
It’s definitely a crowded three but Honda killed it. Ferris reference and Seinfeld cameo give it the edge.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
I don’t know…the dawg burying the cat in the Doritos commercial almost made me bust a pipe.
The New Kardiac Kids - February 5, 2012
Seinfeld and Leno a close 2nd, imo.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
The NSX is the reason that commercial is the best.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
I didn’t even realize there was a car in that ad.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
You’ve always been a weird, young man.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
I don’t make those terrible car ads that don’t seem to be feature the actual product.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
They don’t need to make it the subject yet. It’s three years out of production. It just needs attention. Also, should know it’s an NSX commercial regardless.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
They won’t need to run another NSX ad. Those that can afford one are looking at them online as we speak. Trying to get #21. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I will save $100,000 by 2015.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
The only thing I like about Seinfeld is, that he’s ‘a Porsche guy’.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Would DD a non turbo Porsche.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Knowing that makes it funny. Leno is a known collector. And Jerrys a Porsche collector.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
How about the number 1 sure on television for nine years?
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Jerry was my least favorite character in ‘the show about nothing’.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I do love that NSX
The New Kardiac Kids - February 5, 2012
Farris is still cool. I remember when he and camren where gonna take cams dads car.. It is his life it is his love. It is his fault he didn’t lock the garage!!!!’. Love it
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Lolz. Hyundai commercial was short, sweet and awesome.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Wego !!!!!!!!
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Wow nice catch.

DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
They must have a re-mix soon to be released. I thought they broke up like a week later. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
This game would be better if Brees was in it.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Damn, my cell phone battery is melting.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Bad timing…
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Daaaaayum
emily522 - February 5, 2012
This is why you never count Eli out.

Chris colIngsworth is gay
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
Don’t use that in a derogatory sense please.
Kthxbye.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Chris Collinsworth is a lawyer. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
This is eerily similar to 2007.
emily522 - February 5, 2012
So damn close
UnSafe 70 - February 5, 2012
Maybe a prohomo lawyer. LOl Hahahahahahh
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
How about you stop it. That’s not funny.

DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
That’s unconventional but probably the right call
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Brady’s ladys gotta score
UnSafe 70 - February 5, 2012
Tom’s getting what he wants: ball in his hands at the end of the game. Here we go.
emily522 - February 5, 2012
Ha and you lose.
emily522 - February 5, 2012
I don’t know, I take the lead if they give it to you. You get a bad snap, hold or kick you lose. I take the points and trust my D
HenryDawg - February 5, 2012
Did the pats just trade their recievers for ours?? no jk
UnSafe 70 - February 5, 2012
That ball had 10+ more mph than normal. no woner he dropped it.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
A FG can be blocked. Always take a fee TD. Smart play by Bradshaw.
Jon @ DBN - February 5, 2012 via mobile
I agree. I don’t get why everyone was ragging on it. It would take a drive just as epic as the infamous one in ’86 to win.
bross09 - February 5, 2012
Well wtf.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Cool.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I called them converting that.

congrats g men
UnSafe 70 - February 5, 2012
Gronk almost caught it. Holy crap.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Does it count if I had it 21-17 even though I picked the Pats?
The New Kardiac Kids - February 5, 2012
Only if you bet the over/under.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I took the over on 6 catches for Gronkowsi. Got banged up there too…
The New Kardiac Kids - February 5, 2012
Ouch! I broke even. LOL
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
This Superbowl felt so un Super Bowlish.
SpecialBrownie - February 5, 2012
Great game.

Meh. Sub par.

All teams are the Browns. They just Won the Super Bowl. That might make you cry sayin’ it but if you don’t break down in front of him, he’ll be alright. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
One days, guys. One day…
emily522 - February 5, 2012
In 32 Super Bowls, that was not one of the more memorable ones. LOL.
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
…and it’s only been over for 10 minutes. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
I just hope when that day comes I’m still alive.
Txbrownsfan - February 5, 2012 via mobile
They’ll make it. Don’t know if they’ll win it though. That game’s got historic ending written all over it. lol
DawgsNHawgs - February 5, 2012
Never so bored in a Superbowl
lou.brissie - February 5, 2012
I dunno that bear super bowl win against the pats was pathetic it ceased being a game after the blew the first whistle.
Suppa Bob - February 5, 2012
If I remember correctly, and I do, that game turned into a game of 8 handed Skip-Bo. LOL
