Super Bowl LV - Live Thread

[skeeter]

Before the "woke-ness" of NFL, this thread might have been 20 pages instead of 20 posts.

Didn't watch one play.  NFL can die for all I am concerned.

Me, neither. It can rot.

I do get a chuckle out of hearing Brady won again though.

We had the game on here, but I wasn't paying close attention to it (or the commercials). We turned away at halftime, and turned back at the start of the third quarter. When the Bucs scored their fourth touchdown in the third quarter (score 28-9 at that point) I turned over to YouTube and started watching videos.

I was excited for the start of the season back in August, but now I'm thinking I just won't bother to watch next season. The wokeness is part of it, but honestly I don't trust the game outcomes any more. There are (what seem to me) obvious "bad calls" by the officials that "seem" to favor one team over another. That together with "bad playcalling", "oopsie!" fumbles and dropped passes, make it seem (again, to me) like the games are rigged.

Mustn't forget the streaker!





Also, the logo looked like "LIV".  My husband and I were calling it the "Low Information Voter" Super Bowl all evening.

Isn't there a streaker every year? It's contrived at this point.

"LIV" (Last year's SB) would go a long way towards explaining the election fiasco....

Anyway, as most of you could probably tell when I stopped posting updates, I lost interest at halftime and went to do laundry.

I did watch the halftime show as I always did. As a performer, The Weeknd was... OK. Professional, smooth and he didn't look like he was trying too hard. The other stuff? Well, I didn't think it worked. The mask thing, I just figured it was a pandemic and something the league required. Of course, I never really cared for his lyrics and only recognized one of his songs (the last one, which ended things kind of abruptly and awkwardly—it took about ten seconds before I realized it was over and there wasn't a finale). Overall, it was mediocre. Not great, not horrible, but mediocre.

Didn't watch the halftime show here, because we haven't watched it for years, because the acts are usually ones we're not familiar with (as it was this year) or the act is one we don't like.  Each year it becomes more obvious that as a white male in my mid-50s, I am not in the NFL's target audience.

Ex-Chiefs RB Larry Johnson Goes Viral Saying The Weeknd’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Was A Satanic Ritual (TWEETS)
 February 8, 2021

If there is somebody that will find something satanic in today’s world, it will most definitely be Larry Johnson.

The former Kansas City Chiefs running back was all eyes and ears to Super Bowl LV and noticed something disturbing with the halftime show.

Johnson took to Twitter and claimed that The Weeknd performed a satanic ritual in front of thousands of people inside Raymond James Stadium and the millions watching at home. ...

Gonna be a tough read at TBR, since hardly anyone watched the damned thing.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I watched until i saw a woke ad from uh, youtube. I promptly shut it off.

I actually hate football now and I used to play. I hope they all get concussions and kill themselves.
