I liked her corndogs. Clever.
I would have too if it had come from someone who knew what the heck they were talking about. I thought it was clever to, but it's just something someone told her to do to make her look more obnoxious. It couldn't cover the aura of incompetence that she had.

She did fine not to know college football. Save the hate for the producer that hired her, she just took the gig her manager presented to hang out with the age group that have bought most of her records. With her and Kenny Chesney, it is obvious that ESPN is changing the format of the guest picker segment. Who cares about people guessing the outcome of football games short of having Bear Bryant on the set? Why not add some celebrity to bump the show ratings and draw an audience that currently has no interest in watching ESPN on Saturday morning? Smart marketing move IMO and the corn dogs were perfect.

At least Chesney is a legitimate and somewhat knowledgeable college football fan. Perry probably couldn't have named a single player on any of the teams if she had been pressed to. (Other than Trevor Knight, and what other guest picker would be allowed to pick a team based off of which qb is "hotter")

This generation of entertainers has a fixation on being awkward/odd and Katy Perry is a great example. A shining example of the Facebook generation.

Personally she reminded me of M&M's appearance a year ago. At least the crew is getting paid well.

I thought she was over the top and a little inappropriate. Plus , She was a joke as a guest picker.

I'm afraid that's not going to change. The day of knowledgeable guest pickers, whether coaches or former players is over. In the end, ESPN, like ABC is "Disney." IOW, "show biz."

I don't mind a celebrity guest picker, but they should have some knowledge about football to do so.

You can be a hawt pop star and still like sports.

But if she had said, "Get me outta here, Percy," everyone forty and older would have thought she was so cool.
