Prince Super Bowl In 2007, Prince was tapped to headline the halftime show at the Super Bowl, which took place at Dolphins Stadium that year.

Music royalty has died. Prince, the massively influential and superlatively talented musician and personality, has died at 57. As complicated and strange as mourning a celebrity's death has become in 2016, it's especially fraught in the case of Prince, who for years fought a strangely noble war to keep his music offline. Recently, with the removal of his music from all online streaming services except Tidal, it's become nearly impossible to share his music, as a gesture of mourning or otherwise. So this is by no means a complete list of the Purple One's iconic performances, it's just the best ones that you can find.

The last time Prince had eight uninterrupted minutes on national television, he was performing at the Super Bowl Xli halftime show in 2007. While that gig featured greatest hits like "1999," "Purple Rain" and Let's Go Crazy," Prince's Saturday Night Live set featured tracks that were likely unknown to most viewers. It didn't matter: Prince, his backing band 3rdEyeGirl and guest vocalist Lianne La Havas still delivered one of the most explosive and most polished SNL musical spots anyone has witnessed since perhaps when Chris Rock, the guest host, was still an SNL featured player.

Tony Dungy, a former NFL player and coach and current analyst for NBC Sports, would not have drafted openly gay player Michael Sam were he still coaching an NFL franchise.
Tony Dungy Wouldn't Have Taken Michael Sam
Dungy, who made history becoming the first African American head coach to win a Super Bowl when he led that Indianapolis Colts to victory in Super Bowl Xli, “wouldn’t want to deal” with the potential repercussion of having an openly gay player in his locker-room.
"[It’s] not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play,” Dungy told the Tampa Tribune, “but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it.”
Dungy added that Sam’s inclusion into the league will be hard-going. “It’s not going to be totally smooth,” he said. “Things will happen.’’

Drafted into the NFL from Auburn, fullback Heath Evans had a 10-year pro career with the Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints (with whom he celebrated a Super Bowl win in 2010).
Now he works as analyst for NFL Network and as a game analyst for the NFL on Fox. He recently took a break from preparation for coverage of Super Bowl Xlviii between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday (Feb. 2) to talk to Zap2it about the game, the players and his prediction.
On why Broncos Qb Peyton Manning is the big story: "Obviously, Peyton Manning's going to take the front headlines. There's a lot to gain and a lot to lose.

What does a Super Bowl-bound quarterback count as his good luck charms? "It's my family - my wife and twins," Peyton Manning, 37, told People at Tuesday's Super Bowl Xlviii Media Day in Newark, N.J. "My entire family keeps me positive and they always support me," says the Denver Broncos star of his wife of almost 13 years, Ashley, 39, and their 2-year-olds Mosley and Marshall. "They will be coming to town to be with me. Without them, I would not be where I am today. I am very grateful." As the "excited" Qb prepares for his third big game (his first...

On Sunday night, Madonna will join an exclusive club that includes the likes of Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Diana Ross and, uh, Up With People when she performs at halftime of Super Bowl Xlvi in Indianapolis.
Yes, you'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger stage than the big game — last year's Super Bowl was watched by some 111 million Americans — which is why the producers of the halftime festivities always recruit the biggest stars to perform (except for 1999, when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy inexplicably found their way into the proceedings). And Madonna most certainly fits that bill, which is why, while we're not quite sure what she'll bring to the Super Bowl stage — aside from...

We are all excited about Madonna's performance this Sunday, but Super Bowl halftime shows weren't always about popular recording artists. As the most-watched event in television history, it's hard to imagine the game without celebrities and pyrotechnics. The show has come a long way since college marching bands, so let's take a look at some of the great and most memorable Super Bowl halftime moments.
Super Bowl III: Florida A&M University:
Towards the end of the Civil rights movement, the 1969 halftime show was lead by the marching band of famed historically black college, Florida A&M University.
Super Bowl XVI: Up With the People:
Do you remember Up With the People? Well the NFL really liked this act! The international education organization featured a cast of about 100 students from 20 different countries. They performed at four different Super Bowls during the late 1970's and through the 80's.

Get into the (football) groove: Madonna has officially been announced as the featured performer for the Super Bowl Xlvi half-time show on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis. While it’s still a little too soon to place our bets on which teams will play in the big game (where’s Lisa Simpson when you need her?), that doesn’t mean we can’t start to guess, or at the very least make our wish list, for what the Material Girl will sing during the half-time show. (Early prediction: She probably won’t play “Material Girl.”)

Football night in America continues: Bob Costas' latest essay courtesy of NBC: "In Chicago today, as the Bears routed the Lions, Devin Hester did what he does better than anyone ever has -- he returned a punt 82 yards for a touchdown. This was Hester's 17th career kick return for a score, punt and kickoff runbacks combined. Make it 18 if you throw in a 108-yard reversal-of-fortunes return of a missed field goal; 19 if we're counting postseason, as Hester sliced through the Colts on the opening kickoff of Super Bowl Xli, after which, Tony Dungy, a very smart man, reminded himself of that fact and didn't kick to him again. Which brings up this question: Why does anyone ever...

This weekend is going to be a massive one for the worlds of music, television and sports. The Super Bowl is finally here, and the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers will be squaring off against one another to determine who is this year's NFL champion is only about the fifth-most important thing happening over the next few days. In addition to the game, there will be the headline-grabbing advertisements (including a number of movie trailer premieres and appearances by both Justin Bieber and Eminem), the new episode of "Glee" that will follow the big game (which features the much-talked-about "Thriller" sequence), the national anthem care of Christina Aguilera (which bodes well for the Steelers) and the fact that this could be the most-watched American television broadcast in history (besting last year's Super Bowl, which drew 106.5 million viewers).

Electronic Arts has used the yearly update to its beloved "Madden NFL" franchise to predict Super Bowl winners for over half a decade. It might sound like a publicity stunt for a sports game on the precipice of a sales drop, but it is also surprisingly prophetic. Since 2004, the Madden prediction has only be wrong once. Who does "Madden NFL" predict this year?
Take a look at the previous predictions alongside the actual Super Bowl scores.
"Madden NFL 2005" -- New England Patriots 41; Philadelphia Eagles 31
Super Bowl Xxxix -- New England Patriots 24; Philadelphia Eagles 21

The music world continues to wait for any kind of follow-up information to Prince's press conference from two weeks ago where he announced that he would be going on a major tour at the end of the year. Important details like what cities he will be in, what venues he'll play, how much tickets will cost and when all this is actually happening still have yet to be ironed out, but one thing is for sure: You probably shouldn't pass up the opportunity to check out Prince in concert, as not only does he remain one of the most dynamic performers in the music world, but there's always the possibility that each tour will be his last before he retreats to Paisley Park and lives out the end of his life beating Eli Sunday to death with a bowling pin.

The past decade or so has represented what could be considered the Golden Age of Half Time Shows, which is in stark contrast to the generic marching bands and "Up With People" performances from the event's early years. The Who will headline Sunday night, but will they be able to crack the top five performances in Super Bowl half time history?

CBS expects Sunday's Super Bowl Xliv to be the most watched television program in history. And the network is looking to make a mint on the big game after managing to sell every available ad slot for the broadcast.
The problem is a couple of those ads were sold to odd buyers when you consider that this is supposed to be a massive entertainment event. People are supposed to have fun watching the game they've waited all season to see. It's a reach to ask them to think about heavy socio-political issues.
The network estimates more than 100 million viewers will tune in this weekend when Peyton Manning (right) and the Indianapolis Colts take on Drew Brees and the upset-minded New Orleans Saints. The Saints look to be the sentimental favorite as the city struggles to rebuild from Hurricane Katrina.
