What the Press Said About Super Bowl Weekend: Low-Key, With Little Imagination

Super Bowl weekend came and passed with little surprising news. After weeks of speculation that the party scene in Tampa would be more subdued this year, that’s exactly what happened. And at the game itself, Bruce Springsteen's halftime show has earned praise for being adequate—neither an inspiration nor the kind of disaster seen in the past.

Celebrations started as early as Wednesday and carried on through last night, but the most successful parties seemed to have been Thursday and Friday night. Sports Illustrated reporter Arash Markazi named John Madden’s “Madden Bowl XV” the party of the week, though he also noted that ESPN The Magazine’s party would likely earn the rest of the press’s affections—mainly because the two shared something in common. “ESPN and Madden were the only two parties that didn't scale back from previous years (if anything they grew from last year) and it paid off,” wrote Markazi.

Musicians Staging Benefit Concerts for Obama

Willing to lend their names and talents not just to the official campaigns, but to grassroots events and concerts, musicians have helped the presidential candidates to draw in plenty of money and maybe even a few voters this election year. The latest event is tonight’s “Barack Rock” at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn.

With musical performances from Andrew Bird, the Fiery Furnaces, and Guster, as well as comedic sets by Eugene Mirman and John Roberts, the fund-raiser is charging $40 ticket. Similar initiatives are popping up across the country; “Change Rocks” in Chicago and the “Barack Obama-rama” in Los Angeles have also seen indie rock acts joining forces for the Democratic candidate.

"Stand Up for Heroes" Returns With Regis Philbin

After a successful debut in 2007, comedy benefit “Stand Up for Heroes” will return to Town Hall on November 5. The evening aims to raise money and awareness (and spirits) for the Bob Woodruff Family Fund, which benefits injured service members.

This year’s lineup of performers includes Ricky Gervais, Bruce Springsteen, and auctioneer Whoopi Goldberg. The New York Post reported this morning that Regis Philbin will take over hosting duties from last year’s M.C., Conan O’Brien. MORE >>

The Boss Signs on for Super Bowl XLII

The NFL isn't looking to stray from its recently established tradition of booking talent with proven longevity for the Super Bowl halftime show. NBC and the NFL announced during last night's Sunday Night Football broadcast that Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will headline the entertainment for the big game game next year.

Springsteen joins Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Paul McCartney, Prince, and the Rolling Stones, as an act whose lack of timeliness is outweighed by the familiarity of its repertoire for the Super Bowl's massive audience. The 2008 broadcast of the halftime show raked in 148 million viewers in the United States alone.

The 2009 Super Bowl will be played in Tampa, Florida, at the Raymond Jones Stadium on February 1 and broadcast on NBC. —Michael O'Connell
