Super Bowl

[Haertig]

The best football is high school. When you're in the band. We used to have a hoot at the games. No, not watching them. Just doing all the things that band nerds do in the stands, and then going out for pizza afterwards. Those were the days.

I went to an NFL game once. A friend invited me. That was the most boring thing I've ever attended. The teams just stand around, doing nothing 95% of the time. It's like the whole point of the game is not to actually play the game.

Watching NFL football on TV is incredibly boring. But it is a still better than being dragged through the experience live, in person. At least on TV you get commercials for deodorant and laundry detergent and stuff - much more mentally stimulating than the game itself.

Not liking the half time show. Can't understand a damn word. Credit to the dancers as they're good.

Well his last song he said to turn off the tv. Little granddaughter loved the dancing

 

[teeceetx]

Looks like the Eagles are completely kicking azz. KC should be embarrassed.

 

[Pearl]

Dang the Chiefs are sucking!!

 

[Amish Heart]

Too bad! Everyone in our state wears KC Red

I was just checking headlines over at Daily Mail, and they said that fans are saying it was the worst halftime show ever.
There were pictures and names of the performers, and I'm happy to say I didn't recognize a single one. I'm totally clueless.
Yea, me!!!!!!!

Next single from Taylor Swift:

isn't that part of the show kinda Racist...?!? I don't see any white people in that, sure some are light skin but, But, BUTT they ain't white...!!! That singer and all those dancers ain't...!!

Yeah, where was their "DEI"?

 

[Pearl]

Minute and a half left, at least KC made another touchdown!!!

 

[Supervisor42]

Minute and a half left, at least KC made another touchdown!!!

Yeah, 3 minutes left, and they finally start playing football.
The big bummer for me: no awesome memorable commercials.
That was the only reason I watched it.
I think I screwed up by watching it on our local Fox station.
Lots of ads for our local personal-injury lawyers, and furniture stores.
...Shoulda known they were covering up the national commercials.

I wonder how it is decided who performs for the half time show? Is this considered the most popular music in America? I don't think it is, but why are they having THAT?

Trivia:
Guess where Philly's star quarterback Jalen Hurts came from?
Just for @Peanut:

Wiki: He began his college football career with the Alabama Crimson Tide, leading the team to consecutive College Football Playoff National Championship appearances in 2016 and 2017. ... . In total, he has led Philadelphia to the playoffs in all four of his seasons as the primary starter and has received two Pro Bowl selections.

Trivia:
Guess where Philly's star quarterback Jalen Hurts came from?
Just for @Peanut:

Philly had 3 offensive starters from Alabama. Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith (wr) and Landon Dickerson (guard). Smith caught a long TD pass. Also a second string guard Tyler Steen who played and Eli Ricks, a cb out for the season with injury. A total of 5 alabama players who have now won another championship.

 

[Ozarks hillbilly]

Tough to watch. The conservative owner of the team with players and players’s wives got ridiculed by the media for conservative opinions lost to the city whose fan base will burn down the town whether they in or lose…

 

[Magus]

I haven't watched sports in decades. If I can't do it, living vicariously won't make me feel any better.

 

[Morgan101]

It was a tough night if you were a Kansas City fan. Their evil twins showed up. Nobody expected a blow out like that. Philadelphia looked great, and looked like they were far better prepared. I really didn't care who won, but I was happy for Jalen Hurts. He has fought through a lot of diversity and exorcized a lot of demons yesterday.

 

[Cabin Fever]

About 75% of the commercials flew right over my head. I had no idea what they were about and/or never heard of the company.

Just for @Peanut:

Both SuperBowl quarterbacks are from Texas, consequently my Texan wife routed for both teams.

The game was so lopsided the highlights reel was boring.

I'd rather watch paint dry.

 

[Magus]

Me too. not into vicarious living.

 

[Haertig]

I'd rather watch paint dry.

Chances are, they'd still be standing around not playing the game when your paint was done. Time to move on to watching the rocks erode.

 

[Magus]

I hear watching flies fornicate is pretty popular too.

Sorry to offend Snowman, I'm just not into sports.

A Superbowl I'd love to see is taking a team like the 1975 Steelers and putting them up against the current Chiefs. The rule change has to be... there's no such thing as a penalty. The brutality of the game in the 70's vs. the size and speed of the current teams.
E.g. The offensive line players nowadays are something like 80 pounds bigger than they were in the 70's but back in the 70's, they would have a fist fight at the bottom of the pile.
