Some Super Bowl comments…
 

- Glad that Eagles trounced KC. I’m typically for the underdog. And became very tired of the 3peat talk etc etc.
- I thought that Brady had a very good night, finally adding value with his commentary and SB experience.
- I really liked the “score bug” on the bottom of the Fox screen. Simple, and did not cover the lower area totally.
- Commercials, well generally OK. Some winners but most IMO wasted their marketing $$.
- We totally skipped halftime show. When we heard who was starring, had zero interest to watch. Skipped to another thing to watch. Happy we did…

And I’m feeling tired today. Glad that I’m retired and can spend a lazy day here in TV.

And again, the team that shows up with the best defense wins these games. Eagles were unbelievable. Not a great game if you like it close. WTF was that halftime?

Kansas City "Chiefs" is now deemed offensive. They will change their name to the Kansas City Swifts.

I did not see much diversity in the halftime entertainment.

If the NFL put on a halftime show with an all white group of supporting dancers, I think there would be a lot of complaints.

A mixture of ethnic diversity does not seem to happen anymore

They were making a statement about Black empowerment. It is music and art.

Oh, that’s what it was? I have to confess, I am not familiar with the songs but I’m sure he mentioned, ‘Tiramisu’ which is my favorite desert. And it is Italian - not black at all. He could have mentioned ‘jambalaya’ which would have made more sense then. I couldn’t make out the rest of the words. I also couldn’t make out what they were doing either so I gave up. I am not much into abstract art forms. I hope it made more sense to others.

I could do without the halftime show altogether.

I did without the halftime show after a quick peak. YUK! Thank you DVR!

We spent halftime in our pool listening to some good music on our floating blue tooth speaker.

Why
 

I heard on the news the other day that Jay Z is in charge of booking who’s going to appear at the Super Bowl halftime show —anybody out there — Can you explain this to me and the rest of us— if this is true and not fake news

Music? Ha!

I see what you did there. That's a good one.

Blowouts are so disappointing, but being the 'make lemonade out of lemons' type of girl, I started to want to see how big of a blowout it could be! I agree the halftime show was not at all entertaining in any way. Good reason to do my stretch routine then go to bed early as usual.

It actually makes very much sense. Kendrick Lamar is incredibly smart and talented. He won a Pulitzer Prize for one of his albums. He’s a great storyteller. If you’re interested, you can easily find all the explanations of every minute of his performance with a quick google search. There are lots of people breaking it down for you. He’s brilliant. From the layout of the PlayStation controller, Sam Jackson as Uncle Sam, to the lower case a on his necklace. Every single moment of that performance was calculated. Even if you’re not a fan of rap, which I’m not, that performance was genius.

It is true Jay Z is in charge of the halftime show, it happens few years ago

My answer to several comments here: In my opinion it's entertainment to some and another segment of the "dumbing down of America" to others. There have been, and are, many great African American singers and groups of singers that provide wonderful American entertainment. What in the World has Happened?

I could not disagree more. IMHO, it was not pure genius. I had the good fortune of touring with a RRHoF band for decades. We cross paths with countless rockstars. I got to know a lot of them on a personal level. Some became friends. They were pure genius. They spent years and years perfecting their craft. Their musical contributions were genius. I did not see that same quality in the half time show. Of course some people would accuse me of being old and out of touch. I blow that narrative up because I am a fan of artists from Metallica to The Beatles to Lionel Ritchie to Robert Cray to Joe Satriani to Patti LaBelle to Van Halen...blah blah blah. I even like Frankie Yankovic. I wont deny that rap is an artform, but it does not fit the conditions that I know to be music. If I wanted the spoken word, I'd go back and listen to Maynard G. Krebs or Frank Zappa. At least I could understand them.

And one last thing...accomplished vocalist know how to use a microphone, for dynamics. It is called the proximity effect. Go youtube Paul Rogers of Bad Company for a primer on it. There was no evidence of understand that concept from the halftime performers.

Hmmm…I didn’t get that at all. Quite a stretch. Utter waste of time.

Just a way for no-talent to make money.

That halftime show was so great. I turned to Jeanie and asked her to get his name. I want to get his album.

It's always all or nothing.

He is, it's true.

He's made $140,000,000.00

You all sound like our parents when that dreaded rock and roll hit the scene. All those gyrating hips, were the devil's work. LOL

Fact is young people love hip hop and rap, and they pick talent for the masses.

He did not seem to be aiming at Villagers with all this. Not sure why so many Talk of the Villages posters are upset.

Terrible halftime show. YUCK. The game was bad enough.

Upset because the world isn't catering to them - I believe the appropriate word is "entitled."

The halftime show is not geared for the crowd who will watch the game and then complain about the music. The halftime show is aimed for the crowd who might not otherwise tune in to the superbowl but did this time in order to see the performer.

I'm not familiar with the genre or the artist but what I hear from those who are is that was a great show. (now I need to go look for the analysis to learn what the message was)

Super bowl
 

Bring back "Up With People".

Classic case of virtue signaling.

The show was garbage. Compare that with Michael Jackson, probably the greatest performer ever. Lots of great talent over the years in the hip hop and rap genre like MC Hammer

Now this group would have been so much better and it would have had the stadium rocking.

My wife is a big EAGLES fan so i rooted for them grudgingly.

We went to the parade yesterday at Magic Kingdom to see Jalen Hurst (MVP). The atmosphere was pretty neat to see. Lots of EAGLES energy. Lots of fun.

I think that Hurts kid is a welcome sight in today's sports world of me me me. Wish he were on my team!

I was pleased to see that Defense can Still WIN Championships!

I didn't pay much attention to the half time show, i heard it and it just wasn't my thing but figured tons of younger folks probably loved it... no biggie to me.

I don't tune in to watch the halftime show but i do look forward to some of the commercials although they were a bit of a letdown this year... nothing stood out except maybe the JEEP commercial with Harrison Ford.

Another gripe. Post game presentation on the field. What’s with Terry Bradshaw??? Why was HE chosen - horrible decision. Seems that he was late and the Commisioner had to take over, THEN Bradshaw appeared. Horrible commenting and questioning by him to the Eagles owner and q-back. Seemed as if he was on pain pills or booze. Terry time to hang up the mike. Retire already.

New Orleans- Isn't that the Jazz Capital of the world? I know Jazz is fading out like all good music, but just a little during half-time could have made the show .......

"I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong."

How about "The Village People"? They only have two songs so it would have been over quickly.:D

I find most of this thread to be offensive and racist.

The theme of this Superbowl had something to do with love thy neighbor and we're all in this together. I wasn't feeling that in the half time show which was apparently about some soap opera feud between Kendrick and Drake (should anybody care). Of course, I couldn't understand a word of the performance and it could hardly be called musical. I 'll grant it some high energy choreography. Prior to the game, Lady Gaga (not a big fan) gave a moving performance of "Hold My Hand" focusing of the heroic responses to the more recent disasters across this country. This performance was completely in line with the theme of togetherness and would have been a more widely accepted part of a half-time show. Spineless Goodell has made some bad choices.

I'm forced to disagree----that performance SUCKED and will always SUCK regardless if the performer was black, white, red, yellow, purple, green, male, female, gay. straight, transgender or from the 3rd moon of Jupiter. It was so bad that it blew the top off the suckometer. But I liked Samuel l Jackson also.

I have to say I missed a lot of this!

Brady
 

Did you count the number of times BRADY said "I"

I know. Some of that was questioning by burkhart. Some was interesting adding perspective. But some became over the top. Like TBs $750k watch he was wearing.
But IMO he’s still GOAT. But not as a color commentator. Better than early season, but….

It must be hard for him not to be the one on the field. I found his comments analytical, in general, perhaps a bit dry.
