ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—The Black Eyed Peas will be the featured halftime performer at the Super Bowl.

The Grammy award-winning group will perform Feb. 6 at Cowboys Stadium. The announcement was made Thursday during the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the New Orleans Saints.

The announcement will more than likely send Lewis Black right over the edge...and we will all be better for it.

as much as i dislike listening to millen, this was pretty cool

although i kinda wish the other guys could've had a "shout out" as well

That said, there was one neat moment in the game, which happened near the end of the first half. The NFL Network broke away from the game for a moment so that a host of soldiers currently serving in Afghanistan could say "Hello" to their families. One of those soldiers was Lt. Marcus Millen of the 230th Infantry Task Force. Millen sent a holiday greeting to his wife, and then admonished his dad - "Don't make any mistakes tonight, because we're all watching!"

Spygate Part 2? Broncos official on leave amid probe

In a case reminiscent of the New England Patriots' Spygate scandal of 2007-08, the Denver Broncos have fallen under the microscope of the NFL for possible impermissible videotaping of an opponent, The Denver Post has reported.

Broncos chief operating officer Joe Ellis confirmed to the newspaper Friday that the league was reviewing the team's possible filming of the San Francisco 49ers from before their London game of Week 8. Team sources told the paper that the Broncos were actively working with the league in regard to the investigation.

The team's video operations director, Steve Scarnecchia, is on a "personal leave of absence" while the NFL's investigation takes place, Ellis told The Post. He declined to address the matter further. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to comment when reached by The Post.

The Broncos lost the London game 24-16. The investigation is focused on walk-through practice sessions held the day before at Wembley Stadium, according to the report.

Scarnecchia, who also declined comment, worked for the Patriots along with Broncos coach Josh McDaniels in 2008, when commissioner Roger Goodell docked their first-round draft pick for that year and fined coach Bill Belichick $500,000 for a violation of NFL rules that bar teams from filming opponents' signals. The Patriots, who were found to have videotaped New York Jets coaches during a 2006 game, were fined an additional $250,000.

McDaniels was the Patriots' offensive coordinator that season, having been promoted from quarterbacks coach in 2006 to make him the youngest coordinator in the league at the time.

McDaniels said at his introduction as Broncos coach that the videotaping scandal "didn't really affect" the team.

"That situation was something that happened," McDaniels said at a January 2009 news conference. "I was not aware of that. I wasn't aware of it and all the things that did happen in terms of that whole scenario. It really didn't affect us, to tell you the truth. It was all about preparation and trying to do whatever we felt was best that week. It really didn't have anything to do with that.

"I don't think it is good. To have that kind of attention was a distraction, and I think that is how we all treated it. We tried to do the best we could to limit those distractions every week, and it will be no different here. Certainly we are never looking to do anything that is not within the rules established by the National Football League. They determined the punishment on that, and it was what it was and we moved on."

Denver is 3-7. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

No family obligations today I'll be able to watch a full Sunday of football. And, that's a good thing.

[POJO_Risin]

You know what though...McDaniels can coach...he just got the damn job too soon, and decided to use Papa Bear's methods of cheating, and not has nothing left to fall back on.

Ah well...once a cheater, always a cheater...

Jay Glazer just mentioned the story on his opening FOX segment, and Jesus, this could get ugly in a hurry. I still don't see how anyone can gain an advantage filming a walk through, it simply doesn't make any sense.
