2019 Super Bowl chat thread

I saw something about a Spock prequel. I won't watch that either.

Ohhhh... Survivor Extinction! Whatever that means.

There's a whack of commercials on that page. Alexa was funny

It means the first season of Survivor I won't be watching (altered rules negate the entire premise of the show, voting people out)

Spock prequel is probably Star Trek: Discovery. As Lance and I have been discovering...it's a shitty kick in the nuts to what made the original Star Trek great and this series is likely written by some militant SJW's in the writer's room.

Awww man I just watched the Microsoft commercial featuring kids with disabilities and a special controller for them to play video games

[Hal-9000]

The T-mobile commercial was a whole bunch of so what...I watched two if them, the sushi one and the long text commercial.

Not once does it mention a guy's name during the interactions. Are they sexist because they portray women as complicated human beings?

That was great. I believe that's the same kid in another ad they ran earlier.

I saw a funny one tonight with various angry toddlers refusing to eat spoonfuls of food.

Deep voiced announcer:

That's too crisp.
That's too soft.
You cut it wrong.
It touched the potatoes.
The spaghetti is too long.

it was hilarious

Interestingly, the Gillette "masculinity" ad didn't air.

The video for Shaquem Griffin the night before was better ayway.

I'm at a loss as usual

I did note however that each singer and pre-game official on the field was black and they made a point of saying they all toured the hood and talked about SJ issues.

I wondered how Colin Kaepernick felt about what Gladys Knight said and then I see this

"Colin Kaepernick's lawyer lashed out at Super Bowl Halftime performers Maroon 5, specifically singling out frontman Adam Levine for his ire."

How about finding the first white face about 10 positions down the line up and your finger lands right on...the first white face. Too much


I haven't read the article yet...

[Hal-9000]

Ok I peeked. Lawyer says:

"Most of the musicians who have any kind of consciousness whatsoever understand what's going on here."

Because any artist that plays the Super Bowl is not showing solidarity for his blackballed client

"If you're going to cross this idealogical or intellectual picket line, then own it, and Adam Levine certainly isn't owning it."

He's mad because Maroon 5 didn't give the regular pre-game press conference


Hey lawyer man...why don't you take all that righteous indignation and throw some at each of the FOOTBALL players, coaches, management, equipment handlers, who are actually participating in the GAME your boy is banned from? Why you pickin on the entertainment? They were only out there for 12 minutes.

[Hal-9000]

Gotta love Levine. He says "I'm not a speaker. I'm not a public speaker. I do speak, but it's through the music."

translation:

leave your shitty politics out of my halftime songs

[Godfather]

I think we only got to see one actual commercial from America...the Game of Thrones preview. Everything else was our typical Canadian fare

The ad featured texts from two girls; one short and to the point, the other was some long involved emotional text? I don't get it.

You had to watch on CBS if you have that station to get the US ads. Apparently this might be the last year we get them again. I flipped back and forth between that and TSN and noticed TSN was running a lot of Tim Horton's ads

[Godfather]

That game was meh for a casual fan, defense was impressive but I want to see huge plays and TD's

The halftime show was my least favorite in recent memory, just didn't seem anywhere near as much pomp & circumstance as they usually have. Lady Gaga jumping in from the ceiling, Prince playing Purple Rain in the absolute pissing rain, Katy Perry's weird dancing sharks, JJ's tits... tonight did not compare.

I can't believe Lance gets to enjoy another Championship. I've never experienced my city winning a big one (granted we only have hockey now unless you count CFL or MLS). Lucky bastard, I'm happy for him and green with jealousy

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Game was pathetic. The Rams sucked ass, thank you to the refs for putting them there instead of the Saints

Gee, the Patriots are only throwing to one guy, do you think maybe we should cover him better? Nah, they will stop throwing to him eventually.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Even though I hate the Patriots with a passion, this headline I just saw made me laugh:

Red Sox congratulate Patriots for ending Boston's 3-month championship drought



Boston's 12th championship win since 2000.
