the worst NFL season since many, many years got the worst SB since many, many years, the worst possible winner and the worst halftime show ever...:rofl::facepalm:

 

even the commercials were really ordinary...:(

 

that's definitely deserved...and it couldn't have been different, I suppose...:whistle:

 

luckily, it's over...

 

hope next season's gonna be better (it won't be difficult, I guess)...

 

 

p.s. I agree on the killing of Bud Knight as the highlight of night...:lol:

I am glad that MLS final had more spectators than SB. :)

Why worst halftime show?

Let's face it, gospel & Maroon 5 which looked like grumpy old men tbh. Katy Perry & the dolphins set the standard and this wasn't even close!

 

It really suits the NFL hype that in a season which broke so many offensive records we had the fewest points in SB history! That 54-51 MNF showdown looks so epicly hilarious right now. Defense STILL wins the championship! :bye:

Would only say 2nd worst. The Black Eyed Peas were a disaster! ;)

without going down to my personal taste in terms of music, only looking at the show itself, I didn't like Maroon 5 (and supporting cast) at all...no special effects, no particularly emotional interpretation of their songs, no virtuosisms...it was just like watching an ordinary MTV video rather than a live show...;)

 

as someone else said, Katy Perry raised the bar of the SB HT show to a level which nobody has got even close yet...and normally I'm not a big fan of her (if we talk about music only, of course ;))...

Blasphemy!

Show wise, sure she did, but to me it really isn't close to my top. 

But then again, I'm the kind of guy who every year wants them to go back to rock (or at least some better pop artistis). But I guess we'll need another wardrobe malfunction for them to make "the safe choice", which apparently my choice is :p

Nah. Fergie is a terrible live performer and butchering Sweet Child O' Mine just made it worse...

:lol:

 

but now it's impossible, as they have a 5-sec delay just to cover possible upsets like Janet Jackson's...:evil::facepalm:

 

as I said, Katy Perry is not close to my top, too...but her HT show was memorable...

 

and in a kind of show like that, I think coreography and special effects are even more important than the music itself...

 

by the way, as a R&B and Hip-Hop fan, I think last night's appearance by Big Boi and Travis Scott was almost insulting...:facepalm:

I don't get why anyone would find this sport enjoyable. It's 10 minutes of actual play and the rest is teams setting up and commercials. Unbearable.

there are a lot of things to be appreciated...the athletic performance, the tactical battle between the 2 sides, the metaphores you can read through the development of play...

(American) Football is a "summa" of features needed to succeed in many other sports...

and you don't need to watch a full game live (with all its stoppages and commercials)...you can always opt for delayed games (with all the dead moments cut off) or summaries...;)

    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?
