Oh, Hell. The dreaded halftime fiasco.

[wolfsong]

2 minutes in and already I'm hitting the mute button and reading the Ruger Forum. She looks like a cross between the Michellin Man and the Pillsbury Dough Boy dressed in red shop rags.

I don’t get it. Just not my idea of music I guess.

Kudos to the white suit dancers, very athletic and good job staying insinc with each other.

 

[black1970]

Looks like another form of devil worship to me. Had to copy the Grammys I guess.

 

[Uncle Grinch]

Can’t believe we have come to this. The Grammys were even worse.

 

[ProfessorWes]

What, she didn't come out in the Grinch outfit from the other thread? I confess I wasn't watching the halftime show. Although given that Mahomes has reinjured the ankle, I may not bother to watch the second half, either.

 

[eveled]

I guess we aren’t the target demographic. Lol.

 

[bigbillyboy]

No

I guess we aren’t the target demographic. Lo

 

[Kevin]

It was too bland. Very boring. And the costumes were odd at best. They were trying to go after Squid Games, I think.

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

Is it really a song if you can’t understand what she is saying???

 

[Danjet500]

Kudos to the white suit dancers

Reminded me of the Oompa-Loompas.

 

[Ale-8(1)]

I was impressed with the choreography and technical production effects. Her performance, no so much.

 

[Uncle Howie]

Not my cup of tea, either… but I think she moves pretty well, for being pregnant! (I’m agile like a cat, myself…)

 

[hittman]

So far seems like a big PR disaster for her.
She had been boycotting the NFL since all the kneeling.
She had been very public about her support for kneeling; even chastising white players for not going along.
Viewed as a sell-out now.
Skewered over all the touching herself and the x rated lyrics.

 

[ProfessorWes]

Well, glad I went ahead and watched the second half of the game after all. Wonder if they're already burning Philly down in frustrated rage?

Not sorry I missed that halftime show. And I can't think of a single commercial this time around that made any sort of impression on me, for good or bad.

Hang in there, the USFL will be here in April...

[Jeepnik]

And I should care because?

 

[ProfessorWes]

Yikes. Rihanna turned into Stacey "Tank" Abrams so slowly I hardly noticed.



"Beautiful" isn't how I'd describe that outfit. And she must have been miserable in the Arizona heat.

 

[Wvfarrier]

We did not watch the game or the show but from what I have read the show was REALLY bad

 

[Mobuck]

I wouldn't know. I was out cutting brush--a much more productive activity.

 

[blume357]

'halftime'... there was a football game somewhere.... who played and who won?

 

[powwowell]

I did NOT enjoy the pre-game, nor the halftime. Too black, too WOKE. Two National Anthems? The halftime show was raunchy for young NFL fans. Then again, maybe I'm too white?

Doesn't matter to me since I don't watch the game or the halftime "show"!! Eff the NFL!

Trash pickup here is Monday morning, so during halftime I gathered up the trash and recycleable stuff and rolled the cans to the street. That way I only saw a few minutes of what the NFL obviously considered entertainment. I was not familiar with this Riahanna (or however she spells her name) but if that is what some consider talent they obviously are on drugs or brain damaged. Only by turning on the closed captions could I understand any of the crap that supposedly were lyrics to a "song".

What I found also pretty irritating was all the hype surrounding every aspect of this event. It is a damn football game, nothing more. Seeing the effort supporting this game by the military also was annoying. We need a military that can stand up to China, not crash our own ships into each other, not be obsessed with so-called "transgender" sensitivites and not waster resources supporting a professional football game.

The game itself was pretty decent. At least it was not a blowout by either team, but personally I did not care who won.

 

[farley]

I vote the Super Bowl halftime shows be done away with forever.

 

[ronto]

Didn't watch either the game or the show, had better things to do.

 

[Dave P.]

Didn't watch but my wife watched the half time show. Thought is was boring and said "it didn't suck as bad as last years and the
dancers seemed solid".

 

[trebor44]

'halftime'... there was a football game somewhere.... who played and who won?

That's what I was wondering! Now I know why the traffic was so light on the roads!

 

[Jimbo357mag]

I was in a fowl mood before halftime having to watch all those weird and extra-long commercials. I did't even watch the halftime show and didn't enjoy the rest of the game either.
