Honestly I’d rather watch 1995 than last night.

Really?

You mean aside from the pop artist who doesn’t write her own songs, who didn’t even bother holding the microphone to her face at times, who showed up incapable of doing any sort of dance performance, who didn’t bring out any other artists (as is customary) to amp things up, who hasn’t had a hit in 7 years, who turned the NFL down “for moral reasons” a few years ago but now has an album to promote? Rihanna isn’t a timeless artist. She’s a pop star who isn’t relevant anymore, and didn’t bring what was needed to relaunch her career. She took the job knowing she was pregnant, and then phoned in this half assed effort?

The only decent thing about the half time show was the suspended platforms.

Contrast this against last year which was arguably one of the best half time performances in history, or compare it against The Weekend from two years ago (who I can’t stand as an artist but he brought his A+ game for the Super Bowl).

Name some worse half time performances, I dare you.

You must not be a native speaker of English, so I’ll be kind.

My use of the word “wild” is analogous (similar) to “crazy” or “notable” or “interesting”.

I was saying “it’s interesting and slightly crazy that…”, sub that in for “wild” and see if that makes any more sense.

“It’s interesting and slightly crazy that we had one of if not the best actual games in the Super Bowl, but we had possibly the worst halftime show and commentator performance in history.”

The pronoun “it” does not refer to the Super Bowl.

I flip back and forth from thinking it’s that to thinking it’s the NFL telling him to stop doing the play prediction.

The thing is, concepts don’t change that fast in the NFL.

The most successful offense in the league is the Shanahan offense. Not Kyle, but his Dad Mike. Yes, it has changed some and continues to evolve, but there are only so many approaches and strategies. It’s not so much that the game evolves, it’s more like rock paper scissors where scissors might fall out of popularity because everybody is doing rock, but then some people start doing paper to defeat rock, and all of a sudden scissors is viable again.

That’s obviously absurdly simplified and just to illustrate a point, but the NFL is more cyclical than evolutionary.

I just want more of that year one Tony where he calls the plays ahead of time.

Trust my opinion?

Why would somebody trust an opinion? What the fuck nonsense are you on about?

What does me bringing up the half time have anything to do with anything?

Are you a bot?

Greg Olsen was a solid D- last night. The whole broadcast team was extremely subpar.

It’s wild, we had one of if not the best actual games in the Super Bowl, but we had possibly the worst halftime show and commentator performance in history.

How about when their rules analyst totally botched his analysis on that catch that was overturned on review? He sounded totally incompetent in that moment.

People keep saying Olsen is so great and has surpassed Romo etc.

I don’t get it. He’s awful to me.

The idea is that if you gamble on other sports, you could end up beholden to a bookie, who then uses leverage to get you to share inside information (or worse).

I was thinking it’s a great example of a “gif” that could be a simple image.

There are 7 online sports books in Maryland so far.
