#1 Oh, that was what that red vinyl dough(girl?) was...?
Actually I had the sound off because what little football was being displayed was disrupting the staccato barrage of 20-second ads. Looked up again and the scored was tied (was it a good game, I dunno) and the winning field goal was just kicked.

TL/DR: I don't know what the NFL and the advertisers have turned the Super Bowl into but it ain't a watchable football game any more.

#2 The choreography was unimaginative, the dancing of it uninspired. Is she pregnant, or was it just the costume that made her look so? The commercials — which are the only reason I watch — did not sound appealing enough to bring me in from the next room, where I was doing articles for Rantburg

#3 Ah ha — she is. From the article:

Following Rihanna’s performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday, a representative for the singer confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she is expecting another child.

#5 What next, a Transgender half show done in the locker room showers?

Have not watched the New Normal Super Bowl in years and don't feel I missed anything. In fact, I haven't watched any Football games since the NFL went political and anti-US Flag, Anti-White agenda tone.

Face it, when Colin Rand Kaepernic, a lower rated Mixed Race QB, abandoned by his own mixed race parents as an infant, and adopted by White Parents that raised him like his own. Goes own to show, with drive, education and determination in the USA, you can achieve greater wealth no matter what your roots were.

Then, making $$ millions a year, whines that America isn't fair and people buy into it and support the fallacy.

I have to ask WHY SUPPORT IT BS & IMMORALITY
by watching it?

#6 ...I kinda consider myself lucky - we wtached it on Fox Sports, and I'm not kidding when I say that the video of the halftime show looked like some heavily pixellated nightmare from the late 90s. The only reason I knew it was Rihanna was because they wouldn't let us forget she was doing the show.

And while we're on the subject, I'm glad she had something resembling a normal hairdo - the weird, Daliesque nightmare she was wearing in the every-other-minute reminders looked like it hurt.

#7 I'm doing pretty good so far as I still don't know the final score of that National Felons League affair.

#9 I listened on radio. Too many interruptions. "Hurts running for his life! Headed for the sidelines! He's.. Advertisement. When the game came back Hurts was scoring the 2 point conversion to tie the game.

#10 BTW:
Since the game appears to have been in AZ.
Were they able to finalize the score, or will it take 2 weeks? ☺

Slim new singer from Barbados, maybe.
This heifer, not by choice.

#12 It's hilarious that the same people who love human subjective choices in online censorship and our court system are apoplectic about human subjective choices of the officials in the game.

Make up your minds, people...

#13 Super Bowl halftime shows haven't been good in a while; there's a reason the words rap and crap are nearly identical.

Great SB, by the way - close, high-scoring game and I hit a SB square with the final score, for $250. I was one play away from hitting on a second, if Philly's 2nd TD (right at the beginning of the second quarter) had been scored one play earlier in the first quarter.

#14 I haven'y watched 'woke bowls' in decades.

I couldn't care less about wokeball.

#15 We watched it up to about half-time, then switched to "Creatures Great And small." The bowl adds were trash. They really took woke over the top this year.

#16 Humbs, Grabs Crotch, Smells Hand

Don't forget the lip synching. Sometimes she didn't even bother to lip synch, she just stood there and smiled while the recording played. Well, the girl just had a baby so maybe she was out of shape. But you'd think the Super Bowl could do better.

#17 I can't wait til I don't watch the Stupid Bowl and not care about the commercials. Maybe they'll hold it in Davos so the elites don't have to travel so far.

#19 Yeah, I lost interest when they first started all that BLM take-a-knee bullcrap and haven't been able to forgive them since. This time they all stood and looked respectful for the national anthem but I get the distinct impression they wouldn't if a Republican was in the White House. Mrs. Uluque doesn't understand about that and wanted to continue the tradition so I sat and watched it with her. Left to my own devices, I probably would have gone for a walk outside.

#20 I think it's hard to argue that the game itself was not good (unless you are of the camp that Philly got screwed late by the officials). I get that some feel supporting it at all implies supporting everything else that was packaged with it. I hit mute for the halftime show and got a snack, came back for 2nd half.

As for people's perceptions, I really didn't think Stapleton's National Anthem performance was so special, YMMV. To me, it seemed at times that he was doing that "I don't know the words, but it's alright" sort of deal.

#21 We watched the halftime show with visiting friends, and were utter disgusted by the presentation. Crude, tribal, and talent-less, with costumes that reminded me of the Monty Python skit about reproduction. The lyrics were utter drivel, and the choreography (such as it was) would shame a sixth grade dance class. I kept thinking of Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor in the iconic Singing in the Rain, American in Paris, or even West Side Story, and the elegance of actual dance. Then I realized that the half-time show was merely more political theater, making everything associated with public viewing have a heavy racial component or theme, commercials included. Sad to see the handiwork of years of "Change" from the ruling class installed by the Magic Kenyan!

#23 Not to disagree with anyone above, but I thought the coordination of 150-200 dancers took a lot of practice.

#24 Saw a pregnant woman shaking her butt and that was enough for me.

I started to wonder how difficult it would be to quickly (and safely) set up and tear down the stages, etc. I suppose someone paid a pretty penny for that.

#26 Add me to the ‘don’t give a damn’ about the nfl and their social justice crap. Started taking some trees down yesterday to have something productive to do. Have to be done by Sunday.
