#1 "Divide and conquer."

Google - The Latin phrase “Divide et impera” is as old as politics and war. The divide your enemy so you can reign approach is attributed to Julius Cesar — he successfully applied it to conquer Gaul twenty-two centuries ago (no typo). But he wasn't the first, nor the last, to implement it.

#2 No doubt it was the arrangement, because I found “the Black National Anthem” as sung at the Super Bowl uninspiring and insipid.

#3 It’d be interesting to see what happens when someone takes a knee while that’s being played

#4 They just announced on CBS this morning that 143 million people watched making it the most watched TV show ever. They were gloating. No doubt Taylor Swift helped them to accomplish this feat. Gag me with a spoon.

#6 Yeah, but that was a SNL worthy skit.

#7 I "watched" it with the TV on and the sound OFF while reading a book. Every so often I would look up to see if the game was still playing and what the score was -- watching the TV constantly was pointless because the game was constantly being interrupted by commercials and the like.

I doubt I will bother next year, though this year would have been a good game to watch without all of the interruptions (overtime drama and all that).

#8 Yeah, but that was a SNL worthy skit.

As is most of pro-sports.

Should have had Limp Bizket sing it.

Being lectured about religion by a godless NGO right off the bat had me muting commercials.
