Super Bowl LIX - Live Chat Thread

[DoctorAtomic]

This is a stupid Doritos commercial.

[Bastet]

I wasn't going to watch at all, but I'll give it a try for a bit.  First one of the propaganda spots Musk shelled out for I don't manage to avoid, though, and I'll probably be right back out.

[Lantern7]

I feel for the water guy. People will be calling him “that Cirkul jerk” by halftime.

[ebk57]

I liked the Doritos commercial.  And I love Willem Dafoe - and thankfully, the commercial was good. 

[Raja]

William Dafoe as a hardcore pickleball player or even not drinking beer wasn't something I expected to see

Is that what the T-Mobile/starlink ad was?

[mojoween]

I can’t.  I can’t.  I CANNOT.  Get your shit together, Kansas City!

I didn't see it, but he apparently bought spots for a bunch of bullshit.

[DoctorAtomic]

I saw the starlink ad, but I can't say that was political.

 

[Carey]

It's super early, but the tradition of the opposite happening in the Super Bowl is present.  To be specific, big penalties against the Chiefs after that not really being the case

[Magog]

That Disney+ commercial isn't worth a damn. 

[bluegirl147]

Ok am I old or do these commercials have celebs in disguise?  There are a whole lot of people I don't recognize.

I’m thinking that all the murders in that building isn’t so lucky for the people who were murdered.

I didn't see it either but I guess when a regular person, after multiplying their net worth by 100 is about half of a percent of the his net worth at most, it's fair game

[Lantern7]

Oh, who else will be watching The Floor after the game? The game is pretty compelling.

Kevin Costner sitting next to . . . Pete Davidson? Is that the definition of random?

[Cotypubby]

So many more famous faces in these commercials this year than last year, from what I remember. 
And actually people that are well known.

Right?  Like I know who Aubrey Plaza is, but have no idea who the two dudes were in the Ritz ad.

Most are regular commercial actors. With all of the celebrity spotting at the quarter will FOX make time for Taylor Swift?

[DoctorAtomic]

Seal as a seal is horrifying.

[mojoween]

Oh Seal.  No.

You didn’t recognize Michael Shannon?? Famous Oscar-nominated actor in tons of movies and tv shows?

Yes I knew Aubrey but wtf were the other ones?

[Carey]

That is the opposite of what Philadelphia had to do there.  They needed points on that drive.  They're sorry but will be sorrier if Kansas City ends their 3rd drive with points

Ever see him in Popstar? “How do you think I got these scars?” “Wolves?!?” “Fuckin' wolves!”

They didn’t show “Kick of Destiny” during the game?

He's a great actor and I'm still sorry I missed him and Audra in Frankie and Johnnie.

 

And I'm sorry - I realize this wasn't at all helpful, but I can't think of a role of his to site.

These commercials have been underwhelming.

[DoctorAtomic]

That was a big defensive stop for the Eagles. They need to get points on this drive now.

I didn’t either; I only vaguely remembered Starlink as something old Elon had a hand in, that was actually helpful in places like Ukraine.

For superhero fans, he was Zod in Man of Steel.

Thank you for the heads-up.  I've caught some here & there, but my top broadcast this evening is Kevin Harlan & Kurt Warner on Westwood One.

I don't know, defenses are supposed to make that stop. Punters become All -Pros by putting their defense in what should be an easier position.

Boardwalk Empire, Shape of Water, Knives Out, Superman Man of Steel, etc. He also shows up in cameos all over the place.

[mojoween]

See if I haven’t been watching a show for a million years (Survivor, etc.), I watch too many sports to have time to watch streaming shows, movies and anything new, really.  Especially during the summer.

[DoctorAtomic]

I think they should kick the FG. 

[mojoween]

I’m ready for the end of this game to be done with Brady’s yammering.

[Carey]

Eagles took the points.  A close call off of a second attempt, but a win for both teams

[Raja]

I remember my high school team didn't kick the ball all year, until the city playoffs semi final. Those who saw every game were thinking the coach let the pressure of the big game get to him and we weren't playing our game but doing stuff the teams we beat all year did.

Yes we lost.

[Lantern7]

Oh, right. I thought if the Eagles win, Jalen would rip off the mask and reveal himself to be Tom himself.

Anyone care about UFL? Like, at all?

[Magog]

Any AI - Chat GPT commercial gets an automatic NO for me. BTW, Google Pixel Phones flat out suck.

[DoctorAtomic]

Getting up two scores first I think it the smart move. If it was 14-10 either way, I could buy going for it at that point. But getting the stop, you want to put those points on the board for me. 

[mojoween]

“This moment of unity brought to you by Rocket” isn’t the heartwarming sentiment they seem to think it is.

I'm so happy we have a friend over because we seem to be talking over all the commentary, so I've missed most of it.  Yay.

[DoctorAtomic]

The crowd seems pro-Eagles.

[DoctorAtomic]

That's why you kick the field goal. #OneArmedMan

Now you're up 3 scores.
