Super Bowl LVI - Live Chat Thread

[OtterMommy]

Rams? Bengals? Just glad Tom Brady isn’t there again?  Let’s chat about it it!

This thread will open one hour before kick off (2pm Pacific/5 pm Eastern) and will remain open through the trophy presentation ceremony.

This article looks like it's got a nice summary of noteworthy commercials for us. I'm not going to spoil myself by watching them ahead of time, but instead dropping it in here as a way to go back and watch any I really enjoyed a second time. (Or to get my facts straight when I want to talk about one I really didn't like.)

[OtterMommy]

I don’t care who wins…I’m just looking for a good game!

[Carey]

Ditto.  Doesn't matter my rooting interests.  All I want is a good, clean, competitive game.  No Superbowl 48 & 51 nonsense

I'm not going to be here for Super Bowl chat this year.  At most, I'd show up for a message or two, but for me, it'll be a great result with the winner and a tough one for the loser.  Both teams include a player that's due and/or deserves the title.  Either way, nothing's guaranteed, but both are built to return in future years, and that's a good thing!

[mojoween]

I wish I could put Donald and Beckham on the Bengals.

[Lantern7]

Something about Hollywood and football? Okay, then . . .

Large goats vs. big kitties. Super Bowl!

[mojoween]

If Halle has had work done it’s AMAZING. And if she hasn’t, godDAMN.

[Lantern7]

Here’s how Gridiron Heights is going into tonight . . .

I came here post the same thing.  DAYUM she looks good!

[Lantern7]

Is John Legend still with Chrissy Tegan?

[Magog]

What the hell is Headspace? And BTW, John Legend really sucks. 

[Lantern7]

I can’t see player intros without thinking of Key & Peele . . .

[OtterMommy]

Props to whoever that was who went to THE Oregon State University. I’m sure my FB feed is exploding right now with complaining Oregon Ducks.

[OtterMommy]

I’ve seen a lot of Patrick Mahomes for a SB he isn’t even playing in.

Yep.

I like to imagine Troy Polamalu popping up wherever Patrick Mahomes is on the regular.

[Lantern7]

Andrew Whitworth, sweating like a guy in Witness Protection playing in the Super Bowl . . .

[Lady Whistleup]

Every time I hear the Star Spangled banner at the Super Bowl I think of Whitney Houston. 10 year anniversary of her death.

Have you seen the bikini selfies she occasionally posts on social media?

[Lantern7]

Huh. Didn’t know harps had pedals. Also, “NFL” is still “No Fun League” because they wouldn’t let Bengals fans watch the game at their stadium.

Nah.  I don't want to be too envious of that bod and then get pissed.  😄

[Magog]

I don't know who Mickey Guyton is or what she sings. But her Star Spangled Banner was pretty good.

I will always be fond of Whitney’s version for many many reasons, but thought Mickey Guyton did super well and she didn’t shy away from the high note on “free” like so many do.

[Lantern7]

When I was cleaning, I stumbled into the NFL preview issue of Sports Illustrated. They had the Rams winn8ng the Super Bowl . . . and the Bengals going 3-14.

Whoops!

Why is Matt all alone at the toss?

I have no doubt about the sincerity of Billie Jean King and her participation, but I really don't want to hear from this league about social issues.

[Magog]

Get this damn game started already!!

[Fostersmom]

The Rock looks like he's dressed as a bruise.

ETA... Couldn't he afford a decent tailor? Those pants were really ill-fitting.

Thé Rock takes this all comically seriously

Too busy watching the Multiverse of Madness trailer. WOW.

Right?  I thought kickoff was at 6:18!

My hubby’s contribution was a plum.  I was distracted by how much work Dwayne does on the arms while apparently neglecting everything else from the torso down.

I love the Super Bowl.  Only game where I listen while finishing up chores that need doing but run into the living room to watch the singing and commercials.

[Lantern7]

Run on third-and-19???

Rams are male intact sheep. (Male goats are bucks or billys.)

Is he "never not working"?

[shoregirl]

I know it probably won't be good but I really want to see the new Jurassic World movie. I was very excited seeing Laura Dern Sam Neil and Jeff Goldblum

Ha!

Really T-Mobile?! Making a mockery out of Dolly Parton just to sell your crappy 5G phones & services.

He could be the nicest kid ever, but the QB for Cincinnati looks like a total douche bag and has a punch me face.

I thought he was wearing a muscle shirt (at first).

[Lantern7]

“Disney+. Yeah, we’re making Moon Knight a thing . . . “

[Popples]

WTF was that E-Trade baby commercial?

[MerBearHou]

Law and Order: OG!!  Can’t wait!

[DoctorAtomic]

I didn't think the 4th and 1 call was that bad. It was midfield and only a yard, and they handled the Rams on the first drive.

Nostalgia.

[OtterMommy]

Every time they say OBJ, I think I hear LBJ…which is very weird…

[mojoween]

Just now, MerBearHou said:

But no Lenny Briscoe.  :(

There is nothing nostalgic about the E-Trade Baby.

 

How revolting. OBJ just caught a TD in the Super Bowl.

Edited February 13, 2022 by Magog

[Lantern7]

I see/hear “Kupp,” my mind goes to this guy:

[DoctorAtomic]

Stafford was looking OBJ the whole way. He just ran past the CB. 

[Lamb18]

Maybe this will be like the Green Bay/SF game, the special teams guys will be the heroes.

Then Beckham scores. Sigh.

[mojoween]

I am very happy for OBJ but dammit I hate the Rams.

[greyhorse]

Cleveland is collectively shaking its head.  Guess the problem was Baker and not OBJ...

[Lamb18]

That tiny horse is cute! 

[Lantern7]

Zeus goes into retirement. Was that supposed to be Hera? Man, no one reads Greek mythology anymore. 🤓😜
