I understand most here don’t care for the NFL. But I’ve got to say the SuperBowl has become huge. I think 50 billion people have bought wings, burgers, steaks, etc. just here in Lake Havasu. It is approaching Christmas and Thanksgiving as far as business is concerned. I’m not sure what that says about us as a society, but as Mark Twain said “the reports of my death are highly exaggerated “. Or something like like that.  For all that will watch the game today, don’t drink too much, don’t eat too much, and most of all enjoy your time with family and friends.  |

To me it’s like awards ceremonies for actors. But I hope all “50 billion” have a great time!

I've already put on my traditional Sportsball Super Sportsballing Day shirt:  Might go hit the store to get junk food just because, would be fun to eat while watching Deadpool again with the kids..... |

I'm waiting to watch for the most absurd, asinine, politically correct commercial that will be lauded as the most spectacularly courageous effort in the history of mankind.

That could be Stacey Abrams paid for by Soros. She's the one giving the response after SOTU. The first time a non politician will do it. I say this because right now she has no political job at all apart from talking about herself. |

Patriots by 5 in regulation and Tom Brady retires next week. Landry and Staubach Lombardi and Starr Noll and Bradshaw Brady and Belichick Wouldn't bet against any of these pairs in a single game championship. |

‘Just Stand’: CBS Rejects Patriotic, Pro-Flag Super Bowl Ad From Vet-Owned Company https://youtu.be/DQP4jG2u2wEThe ad, which “features soldiers, first responders, and images of military graves decorated with American flags and gives credit to them for protecting the rights of those like Kaepernick to protest,” was titled “Just Stand,” and promoted clothing from Nine Line apparel, a veteran-owned athletic wear company, according to the Washington Examiner. |

wow, 3 to zippo at halftime, what a boring game, so far that is.
neither team can move the ball offensively... ho hum at best
commercials sort of suck as well.
1/2 time show sucked as well, who is that guy?
might as well take another knee and call it done?
I went grocery shopping an hour or so before the game and people must be stocking up since the sale stuff I wanted was almost completely sold out, as usual though.... as well as the stores were not very busy with people

That sums it up. The broadcaster that refused to play that should go bankrupt and go down in flames. |

7:00 central is Columbo on METV, he depends on me for help every Sunday night and I won't let him down. Saw that Maroon5 and Big Boi are the halftime show?  I guess Weird Al and the Michael Jackson hologram cancelled at the last minute  |

The Lombardi Trophy walk to the podium was disturbing. I never saw so many guys kissing balls before in my life. (the trophy top is a football) Congratulations Pats; Belichick, Brady, and especially the hardest working man on the field Julian Edelman.  |

I found this kind of entertaining; (BTW, with my help, Columbo solved the murder)
Review: Maroon 5's halftime show was basic.
By MESFIN FEKADU - The Associated Press
There are a number of words you could use to describe Maroon 5's halftime show performance: Empty. Boring. Basic. Sleepy. Skippable. Unfulfilling. Unnecessary.
And those who came to help save the day didn't do their jobs: If you blinked you would have missed that Travis Scott and Big Boi performed. Even the gospel choir singer was a struggle clearly they let the wrong one sing lead Sunday.
Adam Levine and friends kicked off the performance as fireworks burst from a stage designed like the letter "M," which should have stood for "magic," because they needed some.
It started off on the right note, actually. "Harder to Breathe," the band's amazing debut rock song, was rousing as fire blasts shot from the sides of the stage. Levine grabbed his guitar for "This Love," while other bandmates also strummed away.
It was all going well until a joke was uttered: "A true musical genius who needs no introduction."
That's when Scott rocketed to the stage. He tried to rap most of it was bleeped out in a circle of fire, but his inclusion felt more like an interruption. Scott performed his No. 1 hit, "Sickomode," and Levine awkwardly danced beside him, which looked almost as bad as Katy Perry dancing next to Missy Elliott at Super Bowl 49.
But there was one Scott highlight: He fell backward into the audience and faded away.
The rest of the performance went downhill like Scott's body did. Maroon 5 performed the very terrible hit "Girls Like You," making the already bad song sound worse by mixing in a gospel choir, led by a singer whose voice would make you walk out of church (sorry, girl).
Each transition during the halftime show didn't feel smooth, and Big Boi appearing on top of a car in a thick mink coat added to the bizarreness of the night.
When he performed "The Way You Move," it just made you wonder what Andre 3000 was doing at the moment. Watching? Sleeping? Probably sleeping while watching.
You probably had similar thoughts when Scott was onstage and Drake's vocals played at the beginning of "Sickomode" wishing the show had a real superstar like Drizzy to give an epic performance.
Those thoughts lingered again when Levine sang "Moves Like Jagger." WHERE IS MICK JAGGER RIGHT NOW AND CAN HE PERFORM? Any of the Stones would do, actually.
Who probably should have headlined the halftime show? Gladys Knight.
She scored a touchdown with her rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner": The legend's voice shined brightly as she hit all the right notes ahead of the big game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.
R&B sister duo Chloe x Halle were also in top-notch form: They harmonized like a veteran girl group as they sang "America the Beautiful" at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The group, nominated for two Grammys at next week's show including best new artist, are signed to Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment.
Noise and controversy surrounded this year's Super Bowl since some have boycotted the NFL over treatment of Colin Kaepernick, the former quarterback who protested racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem. Some performers declined participation in the Super Bowl as a result.

Yep. And brother, those slot receivers working over the middle get hit by those defensive cyborgs and knocked into another dimension all season long.

I love football. I never watch halftime shows. As far as I'm concerned, they just screw up the field (turf) for the second half.

As far as I'm concerned halftime is for relieving one's self, and then restocking up on wings and chips. To waste that valuable time watching some singer that I don't even know of would be sacrilege. |

No, I didn't. But since the spousal unit is in sales she needs to stay current on modern cultural events, so she watched. I stayed in the other room enjoying some Buffalo Trace Bourbon, but couldn't help but hear it from the other room... I was getting upset about the cheaters win again, but this article changed my mind, I'm glad to see the Trump supporting White Supremancy team win! Congrats Baldo!  http://libertyhangout.org/2017/02/liberals-go-crazy-after-super-bowl-blame-patriots-win-on-white-supremacy/ |
