Good football game?

[GSXR7ED]

Was an OK game to watch, for me, not near as exciting as the play-off's. Bengals got fired up a little right after Halftime, then quickly settled back to where they were in the first half.

Maybe it didn’t seem exciting because the Rams offense could not run the ball. But the Rams defense got to Burrow and caused him to limp off the field limiting his abilities in the pocket.

Cincy’s defense needs some work. They allowed Burrow to get sacked like 7 times. That last Bengal possession was the result of Aaron Donald’s will to win. That was dramatic!

As for the Rams lack of rushing, they turned to Cooper Kupp who snuck around to get the 1st down on the same drive he scored the winning TD.

Key players were lost to injury and it came down to two players: Stafford & Kupp. I was very happy for the Rams. Not only have they won a SB for the City of the Angels, the Raiders did it in SB XVIII against the Washington Redskins (at the time) in 1983.

I’ve been a Raiders fan since and of course a Rams fan as a 10 year old. I can like two teams that won a Championship for LA. Time for a souvenir t-shirt and baseball cap! Lol

I DID sit through the halftime show & wasn't impressed till near the end when the guy started playing the white piano. It started off really nice, then the last 40 sec. was just the same 4 notes over & over & over & over. With todays technology, why not dual Halftime shows, pick the one you want to watch. One for the more mature ("OLD") folks & another like this one for everyone else. Best commercial by far Kia & the robot dog that ran out of elect. & got recharged by the Kia. I was really disappointed in the Budweiser horse & dog, anyone who didn't remember their commercial from yrs. ago wouldn't have a clue what it was all about.

I’m not a fan of hip hop “at all”. I was cleaning up the kitchen after preparing Sunday dinner during halftime.

There we’re some memorable commercials and I wrote some notes about them. I’ll give my opinion later…

Yup, that was old fogey rap and hip-hop. Ancient stuff. But that's kind of the interesting thing about the genre; nothing really goes away. Your average 16 year old knows exactly who Dr. Dre and Snoop are and is quite familiar with their work.

One of my daughter's friends just posted about the half time show....They are all mid to late 30s.
In her opinion, "They rock good for their age."

Hahahaha....

Cincy did not deserve that touchdown but they also penalized themselves out of the win in my opinion. LA did a great job of fighting back after losing their top playmaker so they definitely wanted it more.

None of the commercials or half time show were anywhere near as good as their predecessors. Makes me wonder what is really going on with the broadcast side of things.

Ya'll ain't old enough. I don't know much about any of these names mentioned, just know they all shake, jerk, & constantly scratching their crotch while screaming into the mic., Can you tell I'm not impressed? Ya'll ever hear of B.J. Thomas, the Everly bros., Tommy James & the Shondells, or The Righteous Bros.? I could understand every word of the song & didn't see, nor want to see, any crotch scratching....I know...things are different now, but sure don't seem for the better!!! That's my opinion & it or'ta be yours..

LOL...My grandparents thought Elvis would shake, jerk, & constantly gyrate his crotch for no good reason.

Just because you don't enjoy something, doesn't make it bad. LOL...

Scott...Congratulations, you are now old enough that advertisers and marketing people don't much care about you!

All great artists in their own right, but they don't really pump out a Superbowl party vibe, if you know what I mean.

[rphillips]

Not much doubt most folks like the stuff like on this halftime show, Duuhh, Don't you rek'on that's why they put it on there. And I never said anything was bad because I didn't like it, I said "I" wasn't impressed & will say "I" don't like that kind of show or music. Yep, Bob, your grandparents were like my parents, they also didn't like Elvis' shaking, jerking, & gyrating nor did they like the Beatles long hair. But can we admit Elvis' stuff didn't compare to todays shaking, jerking, & gyrating as the Beatles long hair (that "did not" cover their ears) doesn't compare to todays long hair. I'd think we can pretty well agree you, ya'll, like what you want to & I'll do the same. And hope I'm still around & wish'in for The Temptations & Diana Ross at next yrs. halftime. Also ya'll need to get back on topic.

LOL... . . . . . . . . That was classic 20 year old hip-hop...

you know, I was wondering how far out of date I was.

Some from the beginning of the game.

This one I liked because who hasn't done the...."uhhhhh" when you get to the counter.

"I got to get something off my chest" and "You got a voice, use it!"

OMG, I love Electric Avenue! Plus, it's Salma Hayek...love the accent. Arnold's accent has always been great to poke fun at. "We are here to pump you up!"

And now you know...LOL....

Heard today on a news channel...."If you remember all the performers in the half time show, it's time to schedule a colonoscopy."

[GSXR7ED]

I also liked the "Doritos" one with the song, "Get up on this".

That was a good one, Ed....Although, to be fair, I've always loved that song.

Thanks for the reminder!

Most of the ads seem to have been done by the same group, it's always the same sort of approach with the obvious irony and payoff/wow moment plus lots of tech wizardry. I dunno, not my thing I guess. It is formulaic just like pretty much every movie out of Hollywood. If they could slip in a tragic emotional back story in the allotted time I'm sure they would. OK grump rant over.
