That's the problem with most fans. They don't know that offense sells tickets and defense wins championships. I thought it was a great hard hitting defensive battle. And in the same way, I love baseball games with scores like 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, etc. Means a great pitching performance is usually happening from both teams and that both teams can play small ball when they need to.

I used to think it was some big conspiracy too, but it's too obvious now. We aren't violently divided by mistake. I'm bewildered how more people can't see it. The West and especially the US are rotting from within, and it's all intentional.
I didn't watch.....we turned it over to the alternative halftime show which was at least......in English. (the official language of our country).

I swear to god some of you guys would have been leading the charge in the 80’s against all the satanic rock bands and the evil that was dungeons and dragons
Uh….we had a whole thread where we were begging for an 80’s rock band to do the halftime show, and it looked like drake maye would've fit in at the D&D table.

If Bad Bunny isn’t your thing, that’s fine. It certainly isn’t my cup of tea and I’d rather listen to some old Kid Rock over him any day but running around saying you’re not going to watch the halftime show because it’s not wholesome and then flipping over to watch Kid Rock of all people blows my mind.

I’ll put 10,000 to 1 odds that the next 10 Super Bowls there will be threads where people on here are saying the game sucks, the commercials suck, and/or the halftime show sucks. It’s almost as if TV demographics are tailored to crotchety 60 year olds or something. Maybe next year they can get two teams running the Maryland I formation, some commercials featuring a Dr promoting Pall Malls, and we’ll wheel Chubby Checker’s old àss out there to do The Twist.

Pretty sure all SB halftime shows are. Just too much that can go wrong if you try to do it live.
One of which being that live vocals tend to be awful with that much movement and running around.

The playoffs were more interesting than the Super Bowl.

I'm kind of glad it's over with...the last month was terrible, in college and pro.

I can think of at least 5 games, college and pros, that came down to the last possessions.

Growth in new viewers that isn't a saturated demographic.

It's almost like the NFL is a business.
It's as simple as this. Agree with it, or not, that's all that's happening.

NFL knows they have a core group that watches, and they know most of those people are taking a shlt or a food/smoke break at halftime. The halftime show is all about new viewers, and right now, the countries directly adjacent to us are where any future expansion may happen. Thus, a Spanish flair.

I fell asleep before Bad Bunny. I did enjoy Green Day pregame with all the HoF players.

I still don't get the half-time show outrage. Just Change. The 17'ing. Channel. It's not hard. Many eons ago, you could hit a kid on the floor and tell them to turn the dial. Now, you can sit in a chair with a fully-loaded set of Depends, Cheetos dust-crusted fingers, and a mouth full of wing parts and tell Alexa, Google, Siri, Jesus, etc., to change the channel for you. Good grief, people.

You prefer to watch guys dry humping and some anti-American homo BS than Kid Rock and other pro-American performers? It blows my mind how some of you continually come to the defense and justify the anti-American garbage being forced upon people by institutions like the NFL. Bad Bunny says he hates America and you suggest he’s a better option than the other halftime show? There’s something bad 17’d up with you.

You don't have to watch or like it. Doesn't bother anyone. But guy gets up there and says God Bless America, Together We are America, Love is more powerful than hate etc and you call him an anti American hater.

Weird reaction. Grab a mirror. There's your problem.

Limp wrist like you is exactly who I was speaking of. Constantly defending and justifying this garbage. When someone like your hero Bad Bunny says he hates America I tend to take them at their word. My problem isn’t me. It’s low moral crap like you

You need Jesus. Quote him. I bet it's no more critical on US policy than you or anyone else on this board has been.

Lot of deep, thought provoking takes in this thread. Here's mine . I started watching, decided I was watching something I just wasn't interested in out of habit and switched over and watched a movie I enjoyed. Here's the "deep" part , I hope everyone who watched the game enjoyed there evening also .

I've always wondered what people in the other American countries think when some dip **** goes off on a non-sensical rant about somebody hating America.

As for the game... I did find it boring for a while. But as it went on I kind of realized I hadn't really seen Seattle play this year and had no idea how insane that defense was. Ended up being pretty entertained by how they made the Patriots look like a JV practice squad.

One halftime soundbite with some generic “love wins” ect corporate speak and suddenly he’s a patriot in your eyes? Give me a break, you gullible bootlicker. That’s like saying Mao Zedong was a nice guy because he once said “peace is good” or whatever. Bad Bunny has spent years saying the opposite in interviews, lyrics, and public statements- trashing American values, mocking patriotism, pushing every anti American talking point the culture machine loves. He’s not hiding it. He’s proud of it. You’re not fooled. You are choosing and pretending to be fooled…for some reason.

It really is astounding that no matter what you do, you become your parents
Nothing new under the sun. Generations age and lose their buying power and influence. Then they yell and scream about how everything new sucks and all will regret not catering to them while they fade away from relevance.

Getting back on topic, I feel like the spectacle of the Super Bowl is gone. The game used to feel larger than life and even like watching a film, now it feels dull. I think part of it may be the use of 4k cameras that while make it feel like your on the field, the picture quality is too clear. The meme comparing the Super Bowl to just another Thursday Night NFL football is on point.

Not really. The little I know about him is from a SNL episode and what I've googled. And a five minute halftime show.

Google tells me he's politically outspoken. As are you. Y'all just disagree. Doesn't mean either of you hate America or have to turn it into good vs evil. Maybe question the people that are encouraging you to treat it that way? The anger machine and echo chamber makes a lot of money too...

It didn’t help it was a boring game but everything else took a bit of step back. Companies just don’t get overly creative with the commercials anymore either. Probably because it costs so much to have 30 seconds they would rather just get the point across about their product. Halftime show was pretty mid too.
