I should have sent this earlier had I thought of it and WAF
was one of the considerations (but I didn't mention that). There
are often suggestions leading up to the Super Bowl (how to reverse
commercial skipping is always popular) and I've sent suggestions
for recording the Tour de France when Lance was in it.

This year AI ran eight minutes and forty some seconds over.
They didn't drop confetti directly over the stage as in years
past and cut it off right after ...[the person who won ;-] got
done singing without any of the celebration afterwards.
