    Kanye West and Jay Z.

    Guest appearance by Drake. Nicki Minaj would unfortunately not be allowed near the stadium.

    What's next, charging the Kitty Halftime Show performers at the Puppy Bowl?

    If they don't have that data already, they can probably buy it from Google.

    The last bit of the article notes that the NFL has been paying all production costs for those shows. Having the performer split that cost, in return for unprecedented exposure, doesn't seem so bad, if that's where they're headed. (Shrug)

    Why stop there? Why not charge the athletes for the cost of operating the venue? It's just part of the cost of doing business, after all. They can just write it off as a business expense.

    Pro leagues need to get their anti trust exemption ripped out.
