Are we really getting health care ads celebrating the execs?

 

Seems Tone Deaf

[Magog]

I'm enjoying this 1st half so far. But, its taking forever.

[mojoween]

I thought the NYU Langone ad was celebrating its doctors (and that they are good at doctoring and not so much with the football).  No?

[Carey]

I mean, Buffalo and even Detroit weren't beating this team, but at least, respectively they had a better defense & QB (AFC) and a better offense

[Black Knight]

Interesting how a couple of Eagles "miscues" have been advantageous. Hurts's interception and the penalty on the punt both led to the Chiefs having to start out of their end zone, which clearly they are having a lot of difficulty with. I don't think Hurts threw the interception on purpose, but I do kinda wonder whether they deliberately took a delay of game to give their punter a chance to pin the Chiefs down better.

Don't they always, in every sport with a stopping clock?

[Carey]

He dropped it

[DoctorAtomic]

I don't know why you run a play when you can just take the knee. 

[Fukui San]

Alright. Drake slander time!

[BlackberryJam]

Every sport is in it to make money. Without the ad money, they can’t pay the players. So I’m fine with the ads. I mean, I might change the channel or fastforward, but I’m not going to complain that the ads exist. I might complain about their quality though.

So…did someone resurrect Drake after the Grammy’s so he can get re-murdered?

[Is Everyone Gone]

Tom must be confused why Mahomes isn't screaming at his O-line the way Brady used to ...

[Calvada]

First half co-MVPs Zach Baun and Cooper DeJean representing the Big Ten!

[Carey]

14 to 1 for the Chiefs to win outright.  Same odds for Patrick winning yet another MVP

You have one of the few running backs still showing the ability to break through the line and "go all the way" you might as well take it.

[Fukui San]

"A 24 point deficit for Mahomes and the Chiefs. Tom, surely no quarterback can hope to come back from that big of a hole."

"Well..."

[mojoween]

I am aware Kendrick Lamar is a person, but I am completely unfamiliar with his catalog.  I can tell the kid is talented, tho.

I was thinking of turning the closed captioning on, but was informed that they're not even trying.

[Fukui San]

I stepped away from following hip hop in the 2000's, though I learned about the Kendrick/Drake feud and watched dozens of videos about it. I don't know Kendrick's catalog, though. 

I admit I could use a posse cut with some guest stars about now.

[twoods]

That smirk after he said “Drake”, I’m dying. Such an amazing rapper.

I am aware of that, plus that he has been in some kind of rap battle feud with another fellow person called Drake. Fortunately a a podcast I follow, The Daily from The New York Times had a recent episode that gave us poor uninformed people a quick recap. 

[DoctorAtomic]

I don't dispute Lamar's talent, but I think this whole diss feud is silly. Didn't he call him a pedo? That's a bit much for a diss track. 

[Cotypubby]

I liked To Pimp a Butterfly but I really haven’t followed him since.

Drake had a very weird “friendship” with Millie Bobby Brown when she was 13.

The captioning was decent enough, I thought. I'm sure it wasn't perfect, but I definitely had the gist.

[ebk57]

I think Kendrick is really talented.  I just want more spectacle in my halftime shows. 

[DoctorAtomic]

What was the movie with the girl playing football?

[Magog]

I enjoyed that halftime show. I hope that Drake enjoyed it too.

[mojoween]

Loved the flag football commercial (was Myles Garrett the nerd?) UNTIL she jumped backwards over the other player.  I seriously cannot get away from what fuckups the Giants were damn.

Same.  I thought the hip hop/rappers halftime show a few years ago was one of the best SB halftime shows ever.

Sort of what a diss track is. He shouldn’t have come for Kendrick and his family to begin with, and he’s known for having young girlfriends. 
 

I guess we were the only household that knew all the words to his songs, well the kids and hubby anyways.

The Snoop/Dre one? That was pretty awesome. Kendrick isn’t a showy guy so his set made sense to his fans.

Are you referring to the ad promoting Girls Flag Football in all 50 states?  It showed High school girls beating the boys Football team...

[DoctorAtomic]

Is flag football a high school sport or something? I just don't understand what it actually was promoting beyond just girls playing sports in general. 

[Carey]

The show was very good, but I think the one from 56 was much, much better.  At least we've overcome that era where the league had to go OLD for their performers due to the events of 38.

Speaking of which, I enjoyed that era for my halftime shows

Yes, in some states it is a Varsity sport. It’s pretty popular in California.

[DoctorAtomic]

Oh wow. I didn't know that. That's cool. 

I am preparing my second plate of nachos. They're big plates so this might be my last.

And if I'm not mistaken flag football is going to be an Olympic sport.

[mojoween]

My high school won the first girls flag football championship in the county.  New York is going hard on bringing visibility to it statewide; if there were more than one car in this family, I would for sure volunteer in the league.

Chris Hemsworth get away from those two save yourself!

[Magog]

Hopefully, the Eagles will do what the stupid Falcons didn't do in the 2nd half. Run the damn ball & eat some clock.

That was Kris Jenner right?  Ugh

[shoregirl]

I think it's pretty popular in the NJ/PA area and both the Eagles and Giants (and probably the Jets) host clinics and games at The Linc and Met Life

[mojoween]

If no one scores for the next 25 game minutes Jalen Hurts is the MVP.  At least I’ll have that (very small, itty-bitty) solace.

[BlackberryJam]

So was that Serena during the halftime show? Some sites are saying yes.

[Magog]

Memo to Taco Bell. That commercial sucked & Live Mas sucks. Bring us back Yo Quiero Taco Bell.

I think that was her. She is from Compton like Kendrick.

Tubi please stop with the fleshy cowboy head it's disturbing 

[mojoween]

Ok Haagen-Daas, you got me.

[Carey]

Hurts probably has it.  Super Bowl MVP.  For whatever reason, Barkley is the only Eagle with the Fan Duel Top Six for the award (Mahomes isn't there).

The above is an error.  My fault.  I had switched from MVP to anytime TD scorer & forgot to switch back.  5 of six Eagles including Hurts as the frontrunner

Mistake with a stat

Serena as in tennis G.O.A.T. Serena Williams? No its not the singer is SZA.

[Bastet]

I couldn't name a Kendrick Lamar song with a gun to my head, so I made some spinach, artichoke, and cheese dip during halftime. This game is boring as hell, but I guess I'll keep watching while I snack.
