CBS Host Says Singer 'Blew the Electric' Twice During Rehearsals
Big Hollywood ^ | 4 Feb 2013, 12:07 PM EDT

Posted on 02/04/2013 1:28:17 PM PST by drewh

Boomer Esiason, the former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and co-host "The NFL Today" on CBS, said Beyonce's halftime performance may have been responsible for the 34-minute blackout during Sunday's Super Bowl between Baltimore and San Francisco.

“Beyonce blew the electric in the Superdome twice, I’m told, during her rehearsals during the week," Esiason said on Monday on his radio show.

Esiason recalled there was a buzzing sound in the Superdome shortly after Beyonce's halftime show.

On his "Boomer & Carton" radio show, Esiason said about "five or six minutes prior to" the "the breaker going," Kevin Harlan, a CBS announcer who was at the game, told him, "Man, do you hear that buzzing?"

"And I took my headset off and there was this like electrical buzz sound coming from the ceiling," Esiason said. "This was after halftime, it was after Beyonce."

The new “green” dome cannot handle the load it used to handle.

Oh yeah, it's green alright - very, very dark green.:=)

I was just thankful I didn’t have to see her nipples.

I would like someone, anyone — even a lowly sports writer - to say that the outage was inexcusable and that the USA looked like a Third World nation for the entire world to see.

Probably made BO happy.

I’ll be so glad when the Obama era is over and all these egotistic black entertainers-in the top 2%- by the way, stop getting this kind of attention. I’ll be glad to have a president that concentrates on the economy and our safety, rather than gay, gay, gay, whether boys should play football and gay boy scouts. So sick of him. Girls in combat and gay boy scouts. The USA is truly upside down under he and his perverted cohorts. The girls are tougher than the gay boys.

Didn’t watch, turned it off at half because of lack of interest in the show - heard it was typical performance, lots of skin and wiggle, not much voice. She was and is beautiful, but physical beauty doesn’t count for much when there is no morality behind it. She is basically selling her body for money, and yes there is a word to describe that act.

Maybe Beyonce can sing before TPOTUS' state of the union speech.

Ugh. Janet Jackson came on stage and that was years ago I said oh turn that s off. She’s a stripper nothing but.

We’re still subject to hearing how shocked everyone was.

She’s a stripper just like the one yeaterday.

Long before OB. He’s a symptom, no a parasite taking advantage of a sick society.

We are and our innocent kids are as well bombarded with deviant sex.

OB just moved in with his posse. There’ll be another to follow.

“the USA looked like a Third World nation for the entire world to see.”

Oh, yeah.

The entire world saw the stripper half time show. They don’t judge our culture and the morals of our women based on that.

NO! But the lights going out, right after the pornography, yes that rains judgement
