I have yet to meet someone who thinks it was a good call. They should've gotten Metallica or hell even Weird Al would've been a better call. Like who thinks to themselves, you know goes great with 300lbs guys beating the shit out of each other for 3hours? Coldplay and Beyonce.

Football annoys me because the ball is in play for like three seconds and then the players are idle and setting themselves up for five minutes and it's so boring.

But I can tolerate the super bowl because the halftime show (even if it is a shitty lineup this year) and the commercials.

Ironically the commercials are most of why the players spend so much time standing around doing Jack all.

So I made my ring tone "remove kebab" on a dare. Figured everyone knows my family is russian they might not know the difference between serb and russian and think it's just an old song. Oh nay nay.

How the hell did "McWhorter's 500 things language classes overlook" lead me to a white supremacist site claiming black people are inherently inferior, biologically of lower IQ, and need to be taught talking, and then have nothing to talk about, no achievements of the past. So much 19th century racism I feel I just traveled through time and met a CSA cotton farmer...

The Panthers have had an abnormally great season. I expect them to suck again next year and look forward to waving farewell to all the bandwagon fans.

Well, it's been a good run. I look forward to the next time the Panthers get the privilege to lose the Superbowl in eleven years.

Seriously, if I couldn't see the game, I'd guess the Redskins instead of the Panthers were playing based on the commentary.

This is painful to watch now.

No, the management of the Lions will think they don't need to improve if they as much as sniff a Super Bowl.

I still am glad that they ended up facing against the Broncos rather than the Patriots, I think a game against the Patriots would have been far worse.

Eh, they've been better in recent years. I don't think they'll be making it back to the Superbowl again for a while. The eleven years was a joke about how it's been eleven twelve years since their last Superbowl appearance.
