Superbowl Broadcast - everything but the game...

[Mgderf]

As far as I'm concerned, Colon Kaepernick killed the NFL.

It is no longer of interest to me.

I like a few of Rihana's songs. Wonder whether her performance will be up to the hype. We'll see, but I'd bet maybe not?

The Only Way Rihanna Can Redeem Her Super Bowl Halftime Show

Fire up the fog machine!

slate.com

...Rihanna was one of the many musical artists who boycotted the 2019 Super Bowl in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, the former 49ers quarterback who was blackballed for kneeling in protest of police brutality and social injustice during the national anthem at a game in 2016. At the time, the Barbadian singer told Vogue that she turned down the opportunity to do the halftime show because she “just couldn’t be a sellout,” adding that there are “things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way.”

Now Rihanna has changed her tune, even though not much has changed with the NFL over the past seven years: Kaepernick, who settled a collusion case against the league in 2019, is still a free agent, the organization had to be pressured to end “race-norming” in their dementia testing, and coach Brian Flores, joined by two other coaches, filed a suit alleging discriminatory hiring practices just last year.

The singer’s 180-degree switch leads to a lot of speculation: Will Rihanna try to critique the NFL (and the general state of race relations in America) by pulling a similar stunt to Beyoncé’s in 2016 and dressing her background dancers as maybe not Black Panther Party members, but Marcus Garvey–ites? Will she bring Kaepernick out at any point, or kneel, or do something? Or was 2019 Rihanna simply playing into the moment without caring about the Movement—and lying to Vogue at that?...

It's wild that Rihanna won't get paid for her Super Bowl halftime show

As per Big Game tradition, one of the planet's biggest musical stars will be working "for exposure" at this Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show

Most of them are over half naked, look like **** and sing stupid stuff and then have to add in the halfassed rap **** that sounds like someone tslking with a mouth full of crap. Thats slways my take on half time shows.

Good piece with Johnny Cash reciting "Ragged Old Flag". That surprised me. In a good way.

Didn't care for Chris Stapleton's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

Length	Odds
OVER 2 Minutes And 5 Seconds	-185

Knowing a bit about Chris slowing things down to a blues pace I will take the over

How long was it?

Curious, did the fly over happen on time or did the ladies have to stop and ask for directions?

I could have sworn when they flashed to a cockpit view she was checking her makeup in the review mirror.

 

[snapping turtle]

Anthem length exactly 2 mins.
My bet 120.5 seconds. Plus
Only bet of the game loser

Wow, a commercial for Indy Decorative Concrete...

Will Farrell EV commercial...

Just saw this and meh!
Don't want an EV and these companies keep pushing them. Forget that!


The other commercial so far have been meh as well. There seems to be no unique/wow stuff.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I liked it

I did too.

I mean, it didn't suck, but it still had too much improvisation for my taste. We've definitely had worse,

Yep, you are right. Nothing memorable, not even a Budweiser dog or horse to remember.

Rihanna is up next. We will see if she shows up to impress...

...or to tell us how to think?
