Super Bowl LX

Oh nice, Ricky Martin!

I find it hard to believe all this stuff is actually happening on the field at the Super Bowl. Forests of sugar cane, hundreds of dancers, etc. Seems almost like AI.

The linemen/women seem like something out of Cirque Du Soleil.

That was some terrific halftime show.

Funny you say that. Witness my half-time show prediction from here.

I fucking hate AI ads.

:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

The overhead shot at the beginning was not live but everything else was on the field. They literally showed the sugarcane being set up beforehand…

Damn, that was a halftime show. Didn’t know one song or understand one word, but it was fun!

Definitely a show geared toward the tv viewing audience.

What a waste of some perfectly good sugarcane.

OK, I really liked the whole halftime show scene. Well staged, excellent guest spots. A few PR “insider” gags (e.g. the power lines) and nothing that is not in his regular act. Basically his current tour show, compressed into bits and pieces of his hits. Was fun.

Anyone catch what was written on the football at the end of the halftime show?

It looks like, though I may be incorrect, that this is the third Super Bowl which reached halftime without a touchdown being scored. The others were IX (Pittsburgh led Minnesota 2-0) and LIII (Patriots and Rams tied 3-3).

5th according to the stats on the screen.

I saw some of the Bad Bunny stuff, but I don’t really get what makes it…well, even all that notable. Certainly better than Kid Rock or whatever else was happening as counter-programming.

136 yd passing combined in the first half. Oof.

“Together we are America,” according to MSNOW.

Pearl-clutchers and haters made it notable by taking it as some sort of affront that he was even picked.

Bad Bunny is just super popular right now. Album of the year Grammy and number one album. So the NFL had a big get with him.

And to be honest I recall “I don’t h understand the words” being a complaint from the last 3 or 4 halftime shows. So the lyrics were inconsequential.

Great show, fun presentation. You can’t not like Latin music!

My brother tells me that Twitter thinks the kid he gave the Grammy to was the little boy with the blue hat from the ICE raids. We shall see..

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Great run by darnold.

Followed by walker.

Mind you, I like Coldplay…so maybe I’m not in the right mindset for this guy. Heh.

More Bad Bunny, less Cris Collinsworth. BB introduces me to something new, CC is like an annoying uncle telling me what club to pull out of the bag while he shanks all his shots.
