Awesome.
I feel like I'm watching the Colts vs the Cowboys in SB V.
Also it seemed like half the players went to LSU during the pregame intros.
Did I inadvertently switch the channel to Telemundo?!??
The real American halftime show was good.
No idea how the other went
Hmmm does anyone think they will give the MVP to a FG kicker??? A good day for me would be Kupp and Walker as Co MVPs/
73 yards of total offense so far. Somewhere Croom has a tear of joy falling from his eye.
Yawn
A TD not scored until the fourth quarter. After four field goals in three quarters. How those folks feelin' that spent $4K+ on a ticket.
TD Pats!
That interception by Maye is going to be hard to overcome.
Field goal by Seattle gives the Patriots a very slim chance.
Well, that scoop and score should just about do it.
Congrats to Charles Cross on the Super Bowl ring!
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.
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.
168 million watched the Superbowl Halftime show - most watched SB halftime show ever.
I can't imagine being so racist that someone would create their own Superbowl halftime show because they didn't like who is picked.
Bad Bunny>>>>> Every other SB halftime show Why? It was the most watch SB halfitme show ever. You Snowflakes triggered yet?
Well about 25MM watched the TPUSA deal so thats pretty significant. And it was in English I hear
The Super Bowl half time show was political as soon as they did it in not English and chose Bad Bunny. Lot of people watched it because the game was so bad and lazy not turning the channel.
TPUSA is not racist. Melting pot is American and so is having laws. No society survives lawlessness which is where we are headed.
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.
Lol, you know the American political climate is near rock bottom when you've got people convincing themselves Kid Rock doesn't make dogshit music.
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.
Says the spokesperson for TPU. Google says the show drew 6.1 million concurrent viewers on its YouTube channel Sunday night after running into a problem with streaming rights on X. Still no bad.
The reason people didn’t turn the channel is because he’s apparently very popular.
Monthly Spotify streams:
* Mr Bunny- 85.1M
* Kid Rock & those other three- 16.9M (combined)
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.
What morality were they breaking?
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.
