dpberr Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I wish the NFL would do something different for halftime. I don't know what that'd be but the tortured process to find a musician has really run its course. It's a performance that tens of millions of people will see and the very best they can do is Maroon 5 and Travis Scott. Actually I do have an idea: A longer version of the NFL "movies" the NFL network was running before their Thursday night games. They were well done, poignant, positive and there are lots of good stories to tell or a fictional Rocky-esque story where real NFL players and a real NFL coach find themselves trapped in a Madden game where the opposing team is all upleveled to 99 and coached by Vince Lombardi and played by the best Madden player in the world. The game is announced by the voices of Madden and Summerall. I'm all about the tie-ins. Regardless, something light and chill for 15 minutes that you can show on TV.
RyanC883 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 time for another channel to bring back the Bud Wiser helmets playing a game during halftime. SB 1/2 shows have been awful for a while. This year takes the cake. 2 hours ago, Like A Mofo said: Donate to social justice now a days = Anti Trump. This and many other comments are all code words for their distaste of Trump. or anti-police, etc. It has nothing to do with actual "justice" for anything. No one can define it. I spend a lot of my time helping victims of domestic abuse. Since the NFL has an issue with that, why don't they donate to that cause, instead of an amorphous "social justice," which is just code for whatever charity the performer thinks is worthy. 1

It's not really my cup of tea, but he is good for his genre, albeit pretty experimental (and certainly more experimental than most super bowl halftime artists). BINGO! He may not be known to the majority of posters on TSW, but trust and believe your kids know who he is. Thats why the NFL is having him perform. They're trying to secure the next generation (or "secure the bag")... thats why new stadiums have technology for Fantasy, daily fantasy (sports betting), and quick 45 - 60 second highlights on social media. 1
yungmack Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I was surprised how many here actually care about...and even watch...the half time show. I remember when they had marching bands! First show biz half time featured broadway star Carol Channing, who just died...at 97. 1
TheBrownBear Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Travis Scott's music is actually pretty damn interesting. I say that as a relatively square 40 year old white dude who listens to Rush. I'm much more interested in seeing him perform than Maroon 5.

Imo , “ social justice” is code for anti Police , anti law, anti white, anti male , anti hetero. Crock of BS 2

teef Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Has anyone seen all the hoopla over the Gillette razor commercial? I think it’s a super bowl commercial at least.

There are really this many people on here that have never heard of Travis Scott? He is Kylie Jenner’s (the hottest of the Kardashian’s don’t @ me) baby daddy. He isn’t just famous for Sicko Mode at this point. He famous in pop culture. My son actually attended this now infamous show at Terminal 5 in NYC. He said it was completely insane. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/arts/music/travis-scott-sued-concert-injury.html. I have to think that the NFL is aware of the rep of his concerts, but after all they had the Who perform a halftime show ... Edited January 16, 2019 by dave mcbride

whatdrought Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Why cant the halftime show be something sensible, like James Taylor with an acoustic playing fire and rain for 30 minutes. No gyrating, no fake party atmosphere, no needless wardrobe issues. Just good, clean music. Let's be sensible. 3 1
BillsfaninChicago Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I don’t watch the superbowl half time or if I do I am usually to drunk to remember it.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I don't watch any SB that the Patriots play in so I could care less who is doing the halftime show. If Metallica was doing the halftime show I would just watch the half time show then turn it off. 1
