The Seahawks have to just kick here. There is no way they can depend on Wilson throwing quickly.

The NBC stream I’m watching is so behind, the site’s own score banner is ahead of it.

Don’t care. Am I really hurting your enjoyment of the thread?

Actually, yes. We’ve got two completely different subjects here, and, in my opinion, they should be discussed in different threads.

I shall not argue this further here; I’ve reported your post, if the mods care, fine, if they don’t care, that’s fine too. Either way, in this thread, I’ll stick from now on to commenting what is a damn fine football game.

Gosh, are we allowed to talk about the half-time show in here?

This is pretty weird.

Boy, I’m neutral and just rooting for a fourth quarter lead change, but this is great football so far. Cool, competent squads playing like they’ve been here before. Me likey!

Better not. Frank will report you. The eye roll emoji doesn’t nearly suffice here. The eye balls would need to bounce out of the head a roll off the screen.

Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott lip syncing? It’s the attack of the Aughts!

Is Lenny Kravitz going to be back?

I’ll say this, Katy really knows how to fill a stadium for a singing bit.

I’m pretty sure one of those bits was produced by Children’s Television Workshop. Where’s Blue’s Clues?

OMG- and the dudes with the balls look like sperms…

The singing beach balls and sharks were making me all weepy and nostalgic for my mescaline-ingesting days.

Why would Geico trot out a commercial that doesn’t feature Ickey Woods? It’s the Super Bowl, I want more Ickey!
