Look the Super Bowl halftime show is never going to be everyone's cup of tea. It's just not. There were people who complained when Prince performed in 07 and there were people who complained when Michael Jackson performed in 93. Those two are widely regarded as the best performances of all time. And you can find people who disliked those shows.

The NFL is never going to cater to the average American. The game itself caters to them. The best thing I heard last night was that the Super Bowl, at least for the last 4-5 years has basically catered to the service industry for the halftime shows. They cater to people who go to clubs on the weekend and wear NFL jerseys to those same clubs on Sundays to watch the games. Now does that mean that those are the only people that like Bad Bunny or Kendrick Lamar or Rihanna? No. But I can guarantee they like all 3.

Did I enjoy the halftime show last night? No. I couldn't understand anything. I changed the channel and flipped over to ESPN to watch some of The U Pt. 2. I didn't change the channel because I was trying to make some political statement or so that I could tweet about it. I just didn't care for it. I don't enjoy Bad Bunny's music. I don't really enjoy Kid Rock's music either unless I'm on a boat about 13 Diet Miller's into the day. So I didn't turn to that either. I actually hated that they even did that. I thought it was grifting in the highest form. The sowed division where there wasn't any. Don't turn the damn Super Bowl into political theater. The really sad thing is that they did and you know who didn't? Bad Bunny.

TPUSA’s job is political theater. Couldn’t employ anyone without it. Grifting is big money these days, and with the internet, it’s easier than ever

You're not wrong. Now back to the game:

1. The Patriots O Line looked like our O Line last night and Maye looked like Shapen at times. I thought the Patriots did a terrible job early of getting him acclimated and in rhythm. I understand they wanted to establish the run game but Vrabel and McDaniels have both been in those moments plenty of times. They should've known to get Maye some easy access throws early, especially with the pressure the Seahawks were bringing, to get him some confidence. It was too late when he finally got into somewhat of a rhythm in the 4th.

2. The Seahawks controlled every facet of that game. They won 29-13 and should've easily won by 2 more TDs. Darnold misses a WIDE ASS OPEN JSN in the 1st quarter and then the Walker TD gets called back on a questionable hold.

3. The Patriot D, and really Christian Gonzalez specifically, is the reason there was even a minute chance for them to win that game in the 4th. The Patriots racked up some yds in the 4th to make it look respectable from a statistical standpoint but I think Maye had barely over 100 yds passing going into the 4th and they only ran for 79 yds the entire game.

4. The Vikings really should be firing anyone in their front office who thought it was a good idea to let Darnold walk for....checks notes....JJ McCarthy. Who is a poor man's Drake Maye.

5. The Seahawks are set up to make a run at 1-2 more in the next 5 years. The Patriots on the other hand, they need A LOT of help offensively(especially on the line) to get back.

The NFL is trying to branch out into Mexico and Brazil. They are trying to grow that audience. Like I said, the target demographic was not the average American. There was nothing political about it. It was marketing. People really need to stop making it something that it's not.

I think there's some mutual interest. I know the league really wanted to put a team in MX around the 2015-2016 time frame but I think that talk has died a bit. I do know they want to greatly increase their reach in that part of the world. That's why they have continued to play a game in South America every year and, I think, are sending the Cowboys there next year.

They played a game every season from 2016-2019, and in 22 in Mexico City. They are going back this December '26 - so it could be a game with playoff implications - which would be WILD. They have also committed to games in '27 and '28

There are 9 international games scheduled for 2026 - 3 in England, and one each in Mexico, Spain, France, Germany, Australia and Brazil. The fact is that the NFL is working very hard to go big globally. When you have the chance to land the biggest musical act worldwide for your biggest event - you book them. And 168 million viewers show why they did it.

We are not at the bottom. Not close. But why one side had the trash music? Maybe that's not what you meant but you only mentioned Kid Rock. What about the millions of us who think they both suck musically? What kind of box do you want to put those people politically? Un-American Racists Progressive Conservative sheep? How about screw labels, if you don't like one or the other that is more than fine and we respect the people's opinion. And don't give me it's this side or that side that started it. Myopic views is why we are here, but the real devil in the background is the ones who has no politically foundation, they just want a certain outcome to happen. And they are gladly using both sides to destroy thinking as person and coming to your own opinions. And have enough moral free thinking foundation that a different opinion from someone else is not an attack.

The reason people didn’t turn the channel is because he’s apparently very popular.

This is what people don't understand. The NFL wants to go global. They are not trying to appease the average football fan because guess what? They're still going to watch.

People can be mad all they want and both sides of the political aisle can try to turn it into something it wasn't. It was very simply the NFL trying to reach more of a global audience. It's marketing at the end of the day. Not political theater.

Again, it was good marketing from the NFL trying to increase their reach. Bad Bunny had 19.8 BILLION streams in 2025 worldwide. BILLION. And they're trying to increase their reach globally.....this was a no brainer.

Also, I don't think it was a big disaster. If the number that's being floated is correct, it's going to be the most watched SB Halftime show of all time because the NFL went after a global audience. And they got it.

People who keep praying on the NFL's downfall probably need to go ahead and close up shop. It's more popular than ever and gaining more and more worldwide popularity each and every year.

Screw all of you. I flipped to the next channel up which I think was the CW and watched a black and white western and forgot to turn the game back on until almost the end of the 3rd quarter. I can't tell you the last time I watched a Super Bowl halftime or paid attention to any of the commercials either so you could have switched places with the performers and I would have done the same thing. Commercials and halftime are refill/bathroom breaks, food prep, eating and kitchen cleaning times.

The NFL is smart for wanting to go global and pull audiences from those outside the US. They will continue to have games in other countries, hence the main reason for Bad Bunny to be performing. I am so tired of both parties making everything a political issue. The NFL's only intent is to make more $$$. Every time something is made political it just continues to divide the country more and more.

I quoted the wrong platform- my bad. I presented the TMZ poll- which usually plays to a younger audience. Thought that was interesting KR won it 2 to 1. Samba TV isnt just making up ratings- they are usually very close to the actual ratings. You are welcome to provide a source disputing that. While BB got a larger Hispanic audience watching the show- the audience dropped severely in the US- the place where the advertisers are concerned about. With the high numbers TPUSA drew and the drop in viewership here in the US- I'd expect the SB halftime next year to be more mainstream as well as TPUSA or another entity to throw their own SB halftime show again to cash in on advertising dollars.

With the high numbers TPUSA drew and the drop in viewership here in the US- I'd expect the SB halftime next year to be more mainstream as well as TPUSA or another entity to throw their own SB halftime show again to cash in on advertising dollars.

I'll predict that they go with whoever is the biggest streamer at the time barring a repeat of course. The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar and now Bad Bunny. It was the largest ratings of all time, so I don't seeing them changing their strategy. I may have one song out of those three on my playlists, but it doesn't offend me and I'll watch anyway. To each its own.

Wow culture war propaganda spilling into everywhere. Pathetic. Baseball starts Friday.

I'm really looking forward to baseball season.
And I'm fortunate that I was working the entire superbowl. I was in my office and out on the deck all evening but the guys seemed to enjoy as I could hear them yelling down the hall. Mostly due to all the football pools!
I legit thought it was Jelly Rolls wife that was doing the halftime show. Hahaha

You’re likely correct. Going with whoever is a big artist of the year is a sound strategy. I don’t imagine the people who tune in for the game really care about the halftime show anyways. You’re either there to watch football or turning it off after the show, if that’s what you’re watching for. Not comparing BB to the famous maroon band, but I tend to stand in the food line when they perform. I think it was a sort of overblown.

Interesting but we were told 160 million watched Bugs Bunny and Kid Rock was a flop?

The NFL is trying to branch out into Mexico and Brazil. They are trying to grow that audience. Like I said, the target demographic was not the average American. There was nothing political about it. It was marketing. People really need to stop making it something that it's not.

Two things can be true at once.

Roger Goodell has done one political stunt after another - BLM, love is love, hashtags in endzones, etc. Have then watch the telumendo channel if they want in Spanish. Bugs Bunny made his political statements at the look at me awards show other week.

I get it; most have no discernment about truth today.

Well, one person did say that and they were wrong. Much like the stats that said 25M watched my man Kid 17'n Rock lip sync his way thru a 20 old song... one that brings back fond memories btw.

And for you TPUSA ppl, BTW means "by the way", and ppl means "people".

"They" were not wrong. 25MM watched between Youtube, TV stations, social media like X and Rumble, etc
