Fox Sports president David Hill says he is confident there won't be a repeat of last year's Super Bowl halftime show debacle with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.

This year's halftime show stars Paul McCartney and is produced by Don Mischer (the guy who was screaming for more balloons during the Democratic National Convention last summer.)

"What Don brings to the table is style and sensibility," Hill said. ''Everything he does is first-rate." Mischer is known for "The Kennedy Center Honors" and "The Academy Awards."

Hill reiterated that Fox had nothing to do with last year's halftime show. The Super Bowl was televised by CBS.

"Because of the nonsense in Houston last year, Madison Avenue (where the major advertising agencies are located) is well aware of the situation," Hill said.

This will be the first Super Bowl for Fox's No. 1 announcing team of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Cris Collinswoth, who took over for Pat Summerall and John Madden last season. Fox last did the Super Bowl in 2002.
