No & Digiornos Pizza isn't worth a damn. 

OT - Rising Crust works in a pinch as a $6 dollar alternative to a $25+delivery+tip local pizza which will likely be undertopped and overcooked. Yes, that makes me sad.

At first I thought it was a parody, but apparently it's a real movie.  Or is it a two hour informercial for Air Jordan?

It's a real movie and looks good

[WritinMan]

It's not possible for me to be less interested in Air.

[meowmommy]

Ok, I totally could live without an Elon Musk sighting...

[mojoween]

Gronk had real shitty form in trying to kick that field goal.  Hope Vinatieri isn’t trying out for a coaching gig.

Except that she didn't perform that much or that well, IMHO. 

Well she was probably less mobile, but I've seen Rihanna's non-pregnant shows and she's not that electrifying of a performer.

I don't think this has anything to do with her being pregnant.

Sonny Vaccaro wishes, at any point in his life, that he looked like Matt Damon.

And Rupert!  There’s a luxury box I am happy to be hundreds of miles from.

[Lady Whistleup]

So are they reviewing this TD?

[twoods]

Smart to call the TD so they can overturn it.

Why?  How did her pregnancy affect her singing at the halftime show? 

She was cast so that we can watch her sing. It was the dancing, and costuming,  not the singing that is in question.

They'd also review it without a TD because it's a turnover.

Wasn't the outrage at the people who were outraged that the original M&M was wearing boots?  I'm not sure why her original outfit was offensive to some.  

None of it makes sense, it is candy.

When I eat candy I do not think about the gender identity nor sexual identity of my candy. I just want it to taste good.

Well, that's my real point.  She's just not that exciting a performer--pregnant or not.   I actually have some of her music, so I don't mind listening to her songs, but I definitely wouldn't pay to go see her.

[twoods]

Someone is going to get injured on this shitty field. 

[Lamb18]

I think overall the Eagles are playing better.

[DoctorAtomic]

Have the Eagles punted?

[shoregirl]

Once

 

This field is terrible 

[Lamb18]

I think they did in their second drive.

But "scoreboard", so its irreverent unless they pull away from a tired Chief's defense.

Exactly!  That's why I never understood why M&Ms felt the need to make a change in the first place.  Somebody complained about the boots, and they caved. 

[SuprSuprElevated]

Yeah, only Goodell would imagineer a new turf...for the Super freaking Bowl.

Useful idiot that one. An I'll side eye the useful part.

I am sad that I know this, but the original green M&M wore go-go boots with heels and had longer eyelashes and shiny lips compared to the updated M&M who was in sneakers and seemingly not wearing candy makeup.  There were those who felt that this was a diss against 'traditional' feminine attire.

M&M's controversy

Useful to the owners.  Not to the game.

[Lady Whistleup]

Great catch!

I'm assuming that was a small group of people who felt that way, and I think TPTB of M&Ms were cowards in caving to this kind of idiocy.

[meowmommy]

Seems to be the theme of the night.  When is a catch not a catch?

[twoods]

Doesn’t look like a catch again.

[DoctorAtomic]

I wouldn't risk burning the time out in the third quarter with a 3 point game.

[twoods]

It’s a pretty big 3rd down and long play, so think it’s worth the challenge.

[meowmommy]

Walt and Jesse for the win!

[NUguy514]

The refs are completely biased against the Eagles.

ETA: At least they didn’t overturn that one.

The dog was the best part of Miles Teller and Lady Teller dancing to hold music.

[DoctorAtomic]

Make the stop and you don't need the challenge though. It was third and long into double coverage. 

[twoods]

That hold music haunts my dreams.

They gave the catch to them. 

[Lady Whistleup]

I was in the bathroom. The challenge failed?

[Chit Chat]

Yes, it was a catch.

Upon further review KC losses a time out but decides to take a penalty

[mojoween]

It has just occurred to me that while I am not rooting for Kansas City, I will be SO MAD if Philadelphia wins another Super Bowl.

Also just noticing - the scorebug IS too damn big.

[Black Knight]

Does Reid ever win challenges? He always seems snake-bit to me in that area.

The announcers mentioned that Hurts switched to longer cleats after the first quarter. I wonder how many other players were able to do the same.

At this level I would expect that every player has the gear on hand to change

[DoctorAtomic]

Wow KC got a stop.

[Black Knight]

The Chiefs D looks to me like they are getting tired and frustrated, a bad combination. The next time the KC offense gets out there, they really need to grind a drive out. I understand why they wanted to come out of the gate hot after halftime, but man, those defenders need rest.

Hubs said at one point, cameras showd a pile of cleats on one of the sidelines, that had already been removed.

Why doesn’t binky dad know that baby likes the blue one?  Pay attention to your kid, buddy.

[Lamb18]

Was Romo in the binky commercial? I thought I saw a quick shot of him in the stadium.
