Football 2025-26 - And we are underway! 🏈

Ideas for "revenge" acts for Super Bowl LXI that would drive all the sycophants defending the Bad Bunnychoice crazy:

• Wayne Newton - forget Spotify streams, the real test of a musician's stage presence is how long he can last in Vegas, and Wayne is the undisputed king! Get ready for "Danke Schoen" and "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast!"
• The Four Seasons - complete with then-92-year-old Frankie Valli or a reasonably similar animatronic
• Riders in the Sky - they're already accustomed to doing 15-minute sets every week on the Grand Ole Opry, making an easy transfer to American music's biggest stage. Enjoy a handful of old Western songs and jokes about Fred "Too Slim" LaBour's "cac-tie."
• Jimmy Sturr - Everybody polka!
• Dick Fox's Golden Boys (Frankie Avalon and Fabian)  - Why? Because he loves you.
• Neil Sedaka - Eightysomething songwriter kvetching behind the piano, what could go wrong?
• The Osmonds - Marie's a little bit country, Donny's a little bit rock and roll, and throw in Jay and Merrill for a little extra
• A Musical Salute to Muzak
• Pat Boone - and for extra, have him do all his early covers

These are just artists who are still alive and performing. I'm admittedly having a hard time finding women or minorities who would match the level of squareness I've already listed. (disclaimer: I like all of the above acts, even if I make fun of them, so maybe I shouldn't choose the halftime show).

I am out, my Auburn Tigers have been walked over by the officials enough... they can't buy a close game. Someone close the barn door behind me please. See ya next year.

I like your suggestions, @jmyrlefuller - some of them, anyway.    I never watch the Super Bowl halftime show, but probably would if it featured a really good marching band (like the old days).

Parody so far, which does make it interesting.
The Colts are 5-1 but I do not see that as a 16-1 season.
Possible a team may go 13-4, or more likely 12-5 (no more ties, please!).
Good news is win-loss records that we would normally start to write off by now may all still be in play.

That's my view as a Texans fan and I am sticking to it!

I quit watching the NFL after wokeness ruined it.   But, I will raise a glass if the Chiefs don't make the playoffs and Swift shit is shut up

I finally got around to watching a replay of the Georgia game.  You're right.  The officiating was horrible, even without the bad calls.  Any time Auburn had momentum, there would be play review after play review.  And that Kirby Smart timeout?  The replay doesn't lie.  He was running to the official screaming "Time!  Time!  Time!" while making the Timeout gesture.  And with one second on the play clock, the officials stopped time but didn't charge Georgia for it?  Ridiculous.

I'm not a Hugh Freeze fan, but Auburn could be sitting at 5-1 hosting Missouri on Saturday.  Instead, they'll be receiving their second letter from the SEC apologizing for bad officiating.
