It’s the Super Bowl for cod’s sack, not solving world hunger.  Little overwrought, FOX?

That was seriously way too much.

Why doesn't she have any eyebrows?

Lady Gaga’s voice is great, as always, but I cannot help but wonder why her stylist didn’t stop her from dyeing her eyebrows.

Tubi is live streaming? I was trying to watch Fox online, but I couldn't through their web site. I have to unplug one monitor to watch the actual tv.

Can’t put things any better than this

Kenny Pickett is a Super Bowl champion. Just as someone thought

[merylinkid]

This was the most blah season ever.  Just meh.  The only excitement was when it looked like the Lions might make their first Super Bowl.  When they lost I stopped caring.  

Oh well.  A couple weeks to the combine.

[Carey]

I have to agree here.  This season was just OK at best.  It probably helped that I didn't really start focusing on it until Week 10.  That was intentional, by the way.  Whatever happened to start that was different would end up not playing out.

As a result, it was same old, same old.  Buffalo and Baltimore couldn't get there, and it looked like the NFL 21st century version of NBA 20th century Jordan denying people.

As mentioned, the only thing that could happen between a recent match-up was the opposite outcome.  I think the necessary blowout is what made up for everything.  At least for me.

I'm not an Eagles fan but (like their baseball team) I do respect those guys from Philadelphia.  I don't think I'd have been thrilled if they did that to most other AFC teams.  As much as it would've sucked if Buffalo was in that spot, I'd laugh at the Bills losing to all of the NFC East teams.  That's in.

Oh well.  Onto other things in life.  Of course the NFL never dies.  So in addition to the combine, Free Agency, the NFL Draft, and Schedule Release will arrive sooner over later.

I mean, the NFL survived and didn't die without one.  Meanwhile, you can only talk about so much about the game and the players, which was done before today.  Not sure what's different these 8 hours before kickoff.

Indeed, which always makes me miss the days of far shorter ones (like this one from NBC, for Super Bowl XV between Oakland and Philly in 1981 [the first one of three that NBC did w/the 1979 peacock; had to show as link because of being blocked by the league from showing on forums]):

The Chiefs were terrible congrats to the Eagles.

Halftime show was so bad.

[merylinkid]

The Chiefs spent a lot focusing on stopping Barkley (and they did kinda, he didn't bust too many big runs), they forgot to focus on stopping the Eagles D.  With the Defense getting to Mahomes there was no way to get any plays to develop.   Then Mahomes got jumpy and made those dumb throws.  

The halftime show was a big FU to a lot of things and I loved it.   And I don't even like Kendrick Lamar.

the commercials were mostly creepy.   What was with all the body parts going off on their own this year?   I did love the Lays potato chip commercial, that was cute the budeweiser one was cute too.   Harrison whispering his last name in the Jeep commercial was funny.

I liked that one and the one with Country Roads and not just because it's about my state.  The best commercials are the straight forward simple ones.  If you can't remember what the commercial was for it kinda defeats the purpose of the commercial.

[Chit Chat]

That was one of the most satisfying SB's I've ever watched!  Before the game started, I said to Mr. Chat "wouldn't it be something if the score ended up being 35-7 or 14 (Eagles win)."  Dang, to have that play out close to that was awesome!  Bama nation is proud of our guys on the Eagles team.  

It's not always the best move to defer the kickoff.  I don't think the KC offense got on the field for about 9 minutes into the 1st quarter.  😲

Overall, I thought Fox did a good job with the pre-game festivities.  I enjoyed all of the pre-game music.  Most of the commercials were just meh.  I loved the Clydesdales though.  We rarely watch the halftime, and we didn't this time either.  Rap music isn't our thing.  

That was a nice tribute to Jimmy Johnson.  When asked if he's retiring, he said he's taking it a day at a time.  I hope he's okay.  I've read that he's trying to make up for lost time with his family, so I guess we'll see what he decides to do in the coming months.  Don't they film the Fox NFL show in California?  I wouldn't want to make that commute from Miami to Calif. every other week, like he's been doing.  

[TVbitch]

I must admit I found myself absolutely delighted to see KC humiliated like that. They got booed and at one point the crowd did KC's stupid chant ~but only to mock them. It was delicious.  

I guess I'm old cuz I did not understand what was going on at halftime, and found myself wondering if they will ever just have a great band play again. RIP Tom Petty! 

I FF'd between plays, so am wondering if they even showed Taylor Swift weeping over her man. Don't cry for her, Argentina, she will write a successful new album of sad songs over this devestation. 😁 

[Carey]

I think TS bolted rather early.  They did show her during the rout but early on.  Before we could see the tears flowing, Taylor knew she was too epic for that to get used for the rest of time on the Internet.  So out she goes!
