Madonna: Super Bowl XLVI's Halftime Show!

The NFL is not commenting and Madonna’s rep says there’s “nothing to confirm at this point”... which is pretty much a given confirmation.
The idea was to release a new single in the winter, with the album out Spring, 2012. But now an even better idea is to release the first single in her first album in over three years, And what a better crowd to release it to performing to the vast Superbowl audience!
Halftime tradition of the past few years, after the Janet and JT Wardrobe malfunction, has featured iconic respected and beloved artists in the likes of The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Prince, and the Rolling Stones — and after the Black Eyed Peas disappointment last year, it makes sense that the NFL, to call upon someone like Madonna to clean up the mess of previous years.
