The great thing about being a Cowboys fan is that you never have to care about who's doing the Super Bowl halftime show.

True Dat.


If you like football watch quality games on Sunday. What is actually wrong with you as a human being if you stop doing something you enjoy for some weird as f... reason. If you watch Trump speeches you now support adultery? Wth. Circle jerk thread for pats on the back for not watching football? That's what were doing now?

What are you asking? Why still watching Cowboys? (Of course yesterday they did deliver a cliff-hanger -- but I suspect it is like all you Ag's complaints about an "inevitable November collapse" and are not reading much into it.

Its a stupid name, but he is one off the biggest music stars in the world right now. He has also been getting into acting, including the new Happy Gilmobre movie.

only NPCs and brain-dead idiots listen to Bad Bunny

Not sure they went with someone like Bad Bunny.

The NFL doesn't pick the half time show.

It is picked by Jay-Z and his ROC Nation company. The NFL turned the half time show over to them years ago.

I wonder if this might change considering the overtly political pick that Jay Z and crew made with this.

Unfortunately, we will never see anything remotely as good as Prince at halftime again, it seems like.

Yep, this happened in 2019 and it's interesting which race has not had a performer at a Super Bowl halftime since.

I heard that Taylor Swift was at the top of the list top perform but she wanted to get paid to perform and performers don't get paid.

So, if it makes people feel better, they did want someone who is of the race they wanted, she just didn't want to do it for free. The browns obviously have no problem with doing it for free

I haven't watched a Super Bowl halftime show in over 30 years.

I won't start now.

The story I read said it was not about getting paid, but who would maintain ownership of the performance.

I have been watching NFL games since 1999, but picking Bad Bunny to perform at a Super Bowl halftime show is the worst representation of America. I have not subscribed cable since February 2017, but I have Sling and Amazon Prime. Most of the NFL games I watch are on Fox, CBS, or NBC.

I've never quite understood the draw of pro sports to begin with. A bunch of millionaires running around on a field and you are supposed to get emotionally invested in some of them but not others. You spend big money to watch them in person or buy their logo stuff. They're supposed to represent your city except they're completely privatized, and are sometimes even moved to new cities. Also, they're not even comprised of locals - most teams have people from everywhere else, including places you're supposed to now hate.


NCAA is on line one.

Bad bunny is catchy and fun but compared to other artists (American) he is nothing special. He rap sings in spanish and the latinos (mainly girls) go taylor swift about it.

That makes a lot of sense after the debacle with her former record company.

Not sure what point you are trying to make here, but since you pay for Sling and Prime, the NFL is still getting your money.

Same.

Though I only watch from the kick off until the final whistle. The pre and post stuff isn't football it's feels.

I watch College Football games, MLB, and NBA games on sling, and I sometimes watch movies on Amazon Prime. Also, I watched two NFL games on Netflix last Christmas, but I have never paid to watch NFL games that were aired exclusively on Peacock:

2023 Week 16: Buffalo Bills vs Los Angeles Chargers
2023 AFC Wildcard: Miami Dolphins vs. Kansas City Chiefs
2024 Week 1: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Green Bay Packers

https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/peacock-announces-exclusive-nfl-game-for-christmas-week-2025

NBC Sports announced Monday that it will host a Week 17 streaming exclusive game on Peacock, which will put the game smack in the middle of the Christmas and New Year's holidays on December 27.

Fantastic. But in case you were unaware, ESPN and Amazon each pay over a billion dollars a year to broadcast the NFL, which you help pay for, whether you watch the NFL or not.

Following a league that supports:
DEI, kneeling instead of standing for our national anthem, support of George Floyd, LGBQT, Covid mandates, Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) criteria, climate activism, net zero carbon by 2040… is a bold choice for many here who detest these goals in all other settings.

BTW, have you heard the latest in a long line of "must see" headliners for the superbowl will be Bad Bunny, who is Anti ICE and pro illegal immigration?


Another BIG NO for me.

So they are not "responsible" for bad picks? "This way we can grow in some demographics w/o pissin' off the others? SIgn me up!" - some previous owners' meeting. :-)


I do not watch many NFL games and I am not a fan of rap or hip hop.


That being said, the NFL is after viewership and that is the currently most popular "music".


Btw …

Great wordsmithing in the title.

Obviously, meant to be sarcastic, but thanks.

Yeah, it's not like OP really thinks folks shouldn't be able to pop a brew and watch their game. A little faux outrage is good for a chuckle.
