Super Bowl LVI - Bengals vs Rams - Discussion & GAME Thread (1 Viewer)

[GoBirds]

Meh. Opening part was the best of it but overall pretty weak. 

Now close your eye and think back to The Weekend last year, now open your eyes and how awesome does this years feel? 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

The SB often does old school stuff like Who, Prince, JLo, Stones.

After Nipplegate it was Boomer artists for like 10 straight years.

Snoop and dre > Eminem > Kendrick Lamar

 

[Uncle Leo]

That was a terrible bunch to promote your network.

 

[dickey moe]

welp, guess lots of 50 plus year old white men in this thread. kind of knew it already but best half time show ever

LMAO

 

[CGRdrJoe]

No it's Prince, and it's not close.

But always nice to see people show how they have been out of it for 25 years.

Maybe next year they can dig up ZZ Top or something for them.

yeah? no. as a 46 year old this was better than prince by far and i thought he was great 

 

[hagmania]

No problem whatsoever if they mix up halftime shows with a modern artist like The Weeknd and then a throwback sesh like this one.

 

[ekbeats]

Great halftime show.  Not big into rap but I loved it.

 

[Cjw_55106]

I thought the show was fine.

My college aged son sent me a text and he thought it was good

 

[BobbyLayne]

Kendrick Lamar is a current artist. His stuff is the last 5-10 years. The SB often does old school stuff like Who, Prince, JLo, Stones.

yeah reminds me of a Rome show I saw in 1988

Fats Domino    
Bo Diddley
Jerry Lee Lewis 
Little Richard
James Brown   
BB King
Chuck Berry

it was really cool…AND really weird

James Brown did the splits and could not get back up 

 

[Uncle Leo]

Now close your eye and think back to The Weekend last year, now open your eyes and how awesome does this years feel? 

True, but it’s Weeknd.

 

[identikit]

It was cool to have Barry Bonds do that 50 Cent song 

 

[Insein]

Now close your eye and think back to The Weekend last year, now open your eyes and how awesome does this years feel? 

I will give it that it's the first halftime show I've watched since like the Stones maybe. 

 

[zamboni]

I thought that was awesome, best in years.  Though I realize I'm pretty much the exact target age range.

Apparently you and Evan McPherson

 

[Gilroy34]

I thought that was awesome, best in years.  Though I realize I'm pretty much the exact target age range.

What target age range is that?

 

[Major]

After Nipplegate it was Boomer artists for like 10 straight years. 

In all fairness, Dre and Snoop is pretty much boomer music now

 

[Truebluey]

Cinci within 3 at halftime, 

can't be good for L.A.

Cincy have to be the slight favorites now, yes? 

They have 4 playmakers and Burrow, while LA has Stafford and Kupp, plus a RB rotation. 

Need something special from Donald or Ramsey

 

[Ilov80s]

I still prefer the Shakira/JLo show from two years ago but that’s for different reasons. 

 

[ekbeats]

Snoop and dre > Eminem > Kendrick Lamar

Eminem is the king.  Snoop and Dre a close second

 

[Joe Mammy]

If you could have anybody entertain for next year's halftime SB, who would it be?

I think I'd be happy with a Talking Heads comeback extravaganza!!! 

"Stop making sense!"

 

[beef]

Got Chills at the start hearing Dre and Snoop.  Got Chills again when Eminem popped on the scene.  Loved it, and I'm not a rap guy.  Not for 25-30 years anyway

 

[BobbyLayne]

Snoop and dre > Eminem > Kendrick Lamar

thought Mary J Blige was solid

 

[belljr]

So is 50 cent like wtf was I never mentioned

 

[GoBirds]

True, but it’s Weeknd.

Shows you how old I am. 

 

[bostonfred]

welp, guess lots of 50 plus year old white men in this thread. kind of knew it already but best half time show ever

One of the best if not best ever

U2 was pretty solid

I'm sure I've forgotten some good ones from the 90s/00s

 

[CGRdrJoe]

What target age range is that?

20-50

 

[GoBirds]

So is 50 cent like wtf was I never mentioned

And he had to perform upside down, zero respect. Also been shot the most of anyone up there. 

 

[belljr]

Minus Lamar that was all stuff I listened too. I enjoyed it

 

[JaxBill]

Run onto the field in sandals. So stupid 

@thedad: A ten yard penalty for socks with sandals. Harsh but fair. https://twitter.com/thedad/status/1493025311453327365/photo/1

 

[Pip's Invitation]

In all fairness, Dre and Snoop is pretty much boomer music now

It's GenXer music. But we GenXers are about the same age now as the Boomers were during the run of post-Nipplegate halftime shows. 

 

[ghostguy123]

Haha mcpherson

Show was good except Lamar.  I have no idea why he is popular or what I just saw

 

[Gilroy34]

20-50

Huh, this 47 year old thought it was average at best

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Apparently you and Evan McPherson

We went to the same college too!

 

[That one guy]

Terribly disappointed Slim’s piece wasn’t My Name Is

Otherwise entertaining half time and it shouldn’t have taken this long for them to get the stage…superstars of music

 

[FreeBaGeL]

What target age range is that?

I'm a man, I'm 40.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wow. lol Ramsey

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Nice Tee shot.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

This 60 year old fart liked the show. Lots of good memories 

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Huh, this 47 year old thought it was average at best

welp then my guess would be your not from gilroy, ca but rather somewhere in the south east, gulf coast

OMG @shuke your bengals

 

[tymarsas]

Huh, this 47 year old thought it was average at best

42 here. Loved it.

 

[GoBirds]

Uh oh….about to see what the Rams are made of after that upper cut. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

Ramsey Island

more like Ramsey turnstyle eh

 

[hagmania]

Paging @GroveDiesel

 

[BobbyLayne]

OPI FACE MASK

 

[dickey moe]

Ramsey is.... not having a good game. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Just won Higgins O 75.5  

2 more receptions would be great. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

#### that noise

 

[The Frankman]

Oh so we not calling OPI or offensive face masks?

 

[Ilov80s]

If you could have anybody entertain for next year's halftime SB, who would it be?

I think I'd be happy with a Talking Heads comeback extravaganza!!! 

"Stop making sense!"

Would be amazing but I don’t think they are big enough any more to carry the show. I would go with a tribute to the aughts rock

White Stripes, The Strokes, Paramore and the Killers 

 

[GroveDiesel]

After the No-call in the endzone early in the game, Higgins was like “2 can play that game”.
