The garne was absolutely thrilling with a full 5-quarters. It’s not my typical genre, but Usher was awesome, and the roller skating, performance, combined camera work set a new bar for live production. I thought it was a hel l of a show!!

It was a great night and a cherry on top for perhaps the best year of NFL football ever!

Sometimes the road to the truth is so elusive it's confusing and reality becomes illusion.

This right here.

I didn't know most of the songs, but I was thoroughly entertained. Man, can he dance! Plus the choreography, costumes, rollerskates! I mean, that was some serious entertainment.

Just some old timers out there making a little money and having a good time. Good for them. Nothing wrong with that. Usher's talented, and it's amazing to watch as I age with the rest of you Tigers, how quickly Usher seems to blend into the golden oldies with the Spinners, O'Jay's and Parliament & The Funkadelics.

It was a pretty good half time

I thought the song transitions early on were a little awkward, but that was for songs that I didn't know. The dance choreography was spot on. The roller skates were the best. I did not like the pole dancing near the end. They could have left that out.

I recognized Alicia Keys, was that Lenny Kravitz's daughter?, the yeah guy (mostly from Dave Chapelle) and the peanut butter guy. The rest needed a subtitle for their names.

Not as good as Prince, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, but way better than The Who.

I liked the game too. I think I like college OT better.


Not sure about roller skating setting a new bar. Pink did that two years ago at the AMA's and that's been done many times before live on TV.

The game was great. The music and dancing during the halftime show isn’t my thing but it didn’t bother me either. My wife seemed to enjoy it but she listens to more modern music on the radio than I do so she was more familiar with what was being played.

All the negativity just wears me down. I have opinions but have found over the years that they are worth more to me than anyone else so I usually keep them to myself. Not just about last night, but in general.

Normally, the HTS is aimed at the genre/group that the NFL wants to draw into the fold.

For instance, the Swifties have (somehow) brought an extra half-billion to the NFL since they started showing up on Sundays to watch Taylor's appearance.

The NFL understands that it's viewership is suffering under Taylor (link below for reference) but at the same time, they're selling a ****-ton of merch.

NFL-Swift-Fatigue:

So what does the NFL do? Why not have TS as the halftime show? Wouldn't MILLIONS tune in world-wide to see that? Absolutely. But how many more NFL die-hards will continue to tune-out? Many.

What to do? Bring back artists who's hey-day was 20+ years ago (to appease to Gen-X)...and make sure they're black....to appease any and all black activists.

I’m sure there are people who get paid a lot of money to do a ton of research and make these types of decisions. And I’m really thankful for those people. Because I don’t have to think about all this stuff at all.

That game had 27M viewers and was the highest rated show since the super bowl. Once the ratings are released for last night's game it'll be the most watched ever

Roller skating ? I thought that died out in the 70s.***

The last time I liked pop/Top 40 music was in the 80s, then I shifted to alternative rock and indie music. The classic rock bands have had their day at the Super Bowl. Time for the 90s and 00s to have their day. The cycle of musical life.

I just used the halftime show to get some dishes done while the TV was on mute :) Worked for me!

The halftime show wasn't really good. Most of them are not. Most of them are lipsynched, even the instruments. That goes for the National Anthem a lot of times as well.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Great game, but the halftime show was certainly nothing to get excited about!***
