Anyone watching Super Bowl?

[MossRoad]

I get your meaning, but there's a ton of entertainers between those 2 extremes, especially in the morality and scum culture departments.

I thought the half time show was quite the show, production-wise. Might not be my cup of tea, but a huge portion of the nation would rather see that then somebody that got drunk the day their mom got out of prison while they drove their pickup truck home in the rain.

I haven't watched a second of the NFL ever since Kapernick took a knee.

.....

Thing is, even when we actually went to the Vet to watch the Eagles in person, when I got older, I was the type of person who would want to leave in the 3rd quarter because I didn't want to deal with all the people trying to leave the parking lot at the same time

Hey, I happen to like David Alan Coe

I'm glad you got the reference.

 

[Hay Dude]

But the kneeling at the end of 1/2 time show was so ignorant
Did you know the combined wealth of the entertainers at that show was 986 million dollars?
That buys a lot of personal protection. Meanwhile, we need cops to at least help protect us

Anyone have game on?

Not I. I heard somebody won. Bitcoin is currently at $42,458.95.

You asked last night if anyone was watching the game. I replied that I was because I have family in Cinci. That was about post 3 or 4. By post 5 the negative comments started pouring in, so I deleted my post, as I didn't want to be part of yet another crabby old man fest. Things started going back towards normal jovial conversation, so I joined in again. But this negative stuff just keeps coming in.

You knew you wouldn't like it. You watched parts of it anyway.

Here's some facts...

68% of Avid NFL fans are people of color.
81% of Casual NFL fans are people of color.
71% of NFL players are races other than white.

Don't you think that once in a while, people would like to see a half-time show that they enjoy? (some white people enjoy rap and hip-hop, too) You've enjoyed them in the past. I have too. Last night I knew who 4 of the 5 headliners were. My wife was shocked. Did I know any of their songs? Nope. Do I think they look silly walking around grabbing their inner thigh? Yep. I don't get it. But the beat is catchy, I can dance to it, and I give it an 84.5, Mr. Clark.

Geeze.

I just honestly don't like crowds of people or long lines. No one can eat, crap or shower quicker than me (eating fast still a slight irritation to my better half).

I'm learning though. Into a couple of dates with my wife, we went to eat some Louisiana food on a Friday night. We walked in, I saw all the people sitting waiting, and I turned around to walk out and my future wife looked at me and asked what I was doing. Told her I don't wait in lines anymore. She looked at me and asked me why I didn't convey that to her and informed me that I was very presumptuous to assume she would feel the same way. I knew even before then she was the one for me (she could drive a 5 speed before I met her, she didn't have to wear make up to go out, and she had a lab for a pet, so there were some early good signs anyways LOL).

Just last Saturday we were out running errands and we decided on a early "nice" dinner since we had time together. Just happened to be a beautiful day out, and EVERYONE was out at this one indoor/outdoor restaurant (people sitting outside waiting). My wife went in, came out and told me 25 minutes. I actually stayed and waited! I'm getting old enough to realize that it would still take us another 20 minutes to drive somewhere else where we would want to eat and still have at least a 10 minute wait, so I figured might as well wait it out. Thing is, we were notified only 10 minutes later a table was ready. Go figure...

I can only assume that everything in your home is made in America with American parts instead of giving our business overseas at the expense of American jobs?

I nothing but respect for Kaepernick for his life and the statement he made. The irony is he is no different than Smith and Carlos, even though I wasn't old enough to really understand at the time what and why they did what they did.

Newsflash, if everyone is supposed to be watching the flag during the national anthem at a football game, who in the heck is watching other people. The added reality is you kneel in prayer. Kneeling is not a sign of disrespect.

 

[Molalla1]

Born about 50 years too early to be able to enjoy that halftime show. Give me rock, blues, and even country. Hip hop or rap, nope.
Game was going well and moving along until the refs started throwing flags on stuff that had been allowed earlier in the game. Hate it when they do that, either call everything all game long or don't, starting to call stuff in the fourth quarter is asinine.

I couldn't stand it . . .

on edit crabby old man.

 

[Citydude]

Half time wasn't my cup of tea but the game was. Until LA won. But, I admire Matthew Stafford's grit.

 

[Doughknob]

….
Tough to see the Bengals lose like that. Although all the attention was given to Burrow, the Bengals defense was excellent and deserves a lot of recognition. Hubbard, Hendrixson and Wilson are excellent defenders. All 11 on D, actually…

exactly, the whole game was a battle of two really good defenses. Offense on each side was nothing impressive.

 

[BravoXray]

Anyone have game on?

Nope.
Couldn't care less about it.

 

[JDZ735M]

Not me at all.

Though it was a very good half-time AKC National Kennel Club show, the commercial I liked best was when the Fox Terrier won the terrier group.

Been in that situation with wait times many times with my wife. We are now also of the mindset, 30 minute wait or 20 minutes walking back to car, driving to other place, walk, wait 15 minutes.... just wait and it's usually less time than they told you in the first place.

Are you a line switcher at the grocery store? I used to do that to. Now I pick a line and stick with it and play a game by watching the other people in the other lines. If I make it out first, I win. If they beat me...

 

[npalen]

Nope. Finished up putting air power assisted steering in my M35A2. Way more fun than watching the NFL.

That's interesting! Didn't know there was such a thing. How's it working for you?

The only ad that put a smile on my face was the hot Doritos ad:

 

[Sigarms]

Are you a line switcher at the grocery store?

No. If the lines are to long when I go in, I leave

The irony is this past Sunday, I ran up to the local dollar general store (after I called them) for a valentines day card for Monday. Rather drive 10 minutes into town vs 25 minutes into a "real" grocery store with cards (if the 10 minute drive actually has what I need).

Get to the dollar general, and there is this long line with only ONE register. I figured I'm screwed at that point and wait. Thing is, probably would have been faster to to drive 25 minutes and have self check out than the 15-20 minutes I had to wait running into town.

Side note- Dollar general is a ripoff (you pay through the nose because they are close). The place to go is the dollar tree, my wife got me onto that LOL I'm like a kid in a candy store when I go to the dollar tree LOL
