at least it was R&B and not rap (sorry Rap fans, but I'm happy to have something with melody for once)...

I said a half dozen times "Fire the sound tech."
They got everything balanced half way through the last song. The bass was still too weak, though.
He sounded like he was singing 10 feet from the mike until then.
Imagine how rotten it would have sounded if they needed to balance a whole band!
And, I'm listening through a $5,000 surround sound system. Still sounded awful.

The sound was off, which is awful for such a huge venue. The Weekend isn’t my cuppa particularly but he’s talented.

And I found him to be thoroughly average in terms of talent. Probably the worst halftime show I've seen in years.

And, it just got a little worse.

Still not as bad as those blowouts we saw 30-40 years ago. Like XXII, when Denver was up 10-0 after one and then Doug Williams dropped five TDs on them in the second quarter. Oof. My Mom was/is a Denver, fan, she still hasn't recovered.

for something like 230 years, then disappeared forever. Yes, Doug Williams was excellent, after almost getting his ankle broken during a sack by Denver in the first quarter. I still have the Sports Illustrated issue done after that game.

At least Bruce Arians will have won a Super Bowl ring as head coach. He is probably one of the best head coaches the Cardinals ever had.

receiver that they had, Fitzgerald, by not constantly putting a host of good players around him. He should have had at least one ring. They made one Super Bowl and that was it.

So far it sucks. Here in SW Florida, we get Tom Brady on overload n I’m not a fan. He gets 960,865$ in stimulus money b/c of his foundation and he buys a million dollar boat n flaunts it. A 50million dollar a year contract n he buys a boat. I really don’t begrudge anyone their money..but stimulus money for those really hurting? My friends say I’m a crybaby liberal. O well... I just was hoping for a good game. The kitty bowl was better today.

For obvious reasons.

I think with the accident, the almost exposure of half the team over haircuts, covid in general, an odd season,etc they just weren't there.

Heck, even Mahomes has made half serious jokes about how Brittany needs to hold off on their baby for another week or two. First time dad, multi states away and baby could come soon-mind isn't there.
