Yawn. I haven't watched the SB halftime show in years. They suck!

 

 

over the 20 years the PVR has saved me probably one year of my life out of watching ads and crap I didn't want to watch

 

there goes 30 minutes of a half time show in 30 seconds on 5-speed fast forward

I wonder if the NFL has done a better job at screening contracts than they have in past.

Scott's performance may have some dancers nicknamed "The Kneelers".

I guess they just can't help themselves.

This will likely be the first Super Bowl halftime show I don't watch one minute of.  What crap.

You and me both

Ah man.  you took the bait.  The op actually went out of his way twice to post that it can't be a bad thing but, "then again"...total trap.  Though I do agree

It needed to be said, and it was said well.

Travis Scott’s song Sicko Mode has been top 10 on the Billboard chart for 17 weeks. Old boring men are already watching the game for the football; you are not the target audience.

the Billboard charts?  have they mattered since 1985?

The Billboard charts are still relevant to an extent, though the criteria has shifted based on techMology.

 

I don't know where you come up with these references, but Rod Stewart and Jingle Cats is some grade A material. Never even heard of Jingle cats, but Rod Stewart is funny all on his own. No wonder Maggie wasn't all in.

to an extent, like horse racing and boxing compared to 30 years ago?

Horse racing man. Spot on. I worked at a sportsbook in Vegas for 10 years recently and it was almost startling to see someone in their 20's/early 30's playing the pony's.

 

The young people that did were the worst because they had no idea what they were doing and trying to explain horse racing to a drunk 25 year old is like....well it's like something that sucks.

i had a file in the late 90s involving the business of restaurants holding off-track betting for the ponies

 

i attended at one each day in Toronto for two weeks, it wasn't my thing, but it was quite an eye-opener

 

to younger number-crunching geeks, the Daily Racing Form was a thing of beauty for sports wagering and combination of info every single day in a tabloid

 

the Hong Kong racing at 2 in the morning had obscene purses and wagers by those around me

i went to saratoga a couple of years ago to check out the races because everyone raves about it.  it was an amazing scene, but i didn't think i could gamble because i had absolutely no idea how to.  once we got to the stands, there were multiple "booths" that were staffed by employees, only there to explain how to bet on the ponies.  good idea on their part.

For sure, but that makes more sense at the track itself. We were a sportsbook and the race handle was not great/very sporadic. No way to allocate enough time for a writer(glorified cashier) to educate.

 

And no matter how hard I'd try to steer them in the direction of "take a horse to win," they'd glance at the screen and want to know what the hell a .10 superbox was or why the show price was so sh***y. Drunk as hell but wanna know how to do a tri-key! 

 

Wouldn't have been a big deal, but I had people breathing down my neck because the Kentucky game was about to start. Good times, but I digress.

Saratoga is awesome.  It’s like a classy Bills tailgate.  And just bet on the name of the horse you like.  Works much more than you think.
