It was an interception, which means that play was not a strip sack. Otherwise, Maye would have been sacked a total of 7 times, which would have been a new Super Bowl record rather than just tying the record. ---

On that play, Maye was being sacked but his passing arm was (barely, just barely) moving forward when he lost control of the ball, therefore it was ruled an interception. It’s easy to understand why on the field it was initially ruled a fumble, then later changed to interception. ---

A very nice story @ekedolphin ! • Levi’s Stadium post game tear down [![](https://i.imgur.com/ig3v2Vt.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/ig3v2Vt.jpeg) We were our way to a family lunch in Fremont yesterday. The day after the Super Bowl, the tear down crew said it’d take about 3-4 days to remove the Super Bowl regalia. ---

I agree, great story, but did you write that, @ekedolphin? I hope I’m not being overly nit-picky, but does that need a citation? If you did write it - well done! ---

Another Seahawks fan in Europe here (UK so 11:30pm start). I retired last year so it was even easier. I did watch the start of the game live but went to bed after the first quarter and watch the rest over breakfast, extra bonus it was ad free. ---

[Moderating] If you found the story somewhere else, just give a link to it, and a synopsis in your own words. I’ve trimmed down your quote. ---

Not really, I’ve seen enough crazy games to know nothing is certain. After going to bed at half time of SB LI and deciding not to bother watching the rest of the game in the morning I learnt that lesson. It had been a defensive battle there were lots of potential turnovers that could change the game and while Seattle were dominating on the field there was only 3 points in it. The final score was not that low, If Q2 and Q3 had been like Q4 it would have been one of the highest scoring games. ---

Okay. Just a synopsis, then. Seattle Seahawks linebacker Derek Hall was born two months premature, lacking a heartbeat, and his mother was told he stood a good chance of spending his entire life in a vegetative state. She refused to sign a DNR order, and fought for every second of his precious life. He suffered severe asthma as a child as he played football, but excelled in the sport and went to Auburn University. In the Super Bowl, he recorded two sacks and a forced fumble to help the Seahawks win the Lombardi Trophy. _Anybody can do anything!_ ---

The halftime show was not my cup of tea, but it surely did not strike me as nearly as - for lack of a better word - offensive as any number of other things I see on TV. Music performances and other. I’ve never been a big fan of the rapper crotch grab but I guess I’ve become inured to it. One would really have to approach that show with a twisted agenda to see the predominant message as other than a depiction of joyous celebration. ---

> And if that weren’t outrageous enough, the performance’s lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities. From the Congressman’s statement. If he can complain about sodomy, what does he consider “unspeakable?” And, by sodomy, is he referencing oral sex or anal sex? Cause there’s a difference. ---

Apparently the congressman in question just googled the lyrics. If he had actually had a translation for the performance he would have known that Bad Bunny changed some of the lyrics, omitted certain verses and bleeped some words to meet FCC standards. ---
