Pregame Show:
Absolutely LOVED the 'Patman' commercial!
Travis Kelsie: "My g/f says it's a brand new era, and put it on my friendship bracelet!" (holds up a T-Swift bracelet)....then later, two guys activate the 'Patman' light, then ask if he has any extra tickets!
According to reports, TS was 'booed' while POTUS was 'cheered'....I didn't see any evidence of either.
I don't know who Ledisi is, but I applauded the use of area HS choir student having the opportunity to sing on the Super Bowl stage!
Lady Gaga looked better than she did at the Grammy's, or even later in the stands. Is it her makeup? Hair? Did she have a botched face lift? Ugh.
When the marching band took the stage, why were some in the stands instead of on the field? And when they showed the 'all girl brass line' (kudos, btw...), one of the trumpets looked as if she was faking it....or the camera just happened to catch her when her part was over, and she was taking a breath????
Still not sure how to pronounce Saquon's name.....Say-Con or Say-Quan? Sometimes it sounds like both, though when I looked it up, it's the latter.
Jon Hamm introduced the Chiefs and Bradley Cooper and child introduced the 'E-A-G-L-E-S!" I joked I was glad he could spell!
A jazzy America The Beautiful by Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty. Interesting, but then again, we ARE in NOLA!
I've NEVER seen a color guard out of step! Miscount? Yes, it's noisy.....but YIKES!
John Baptiste and a jazzy Nat'l Anthem.....and NO ONE TOOK A KNEE!!!!! (at least, they didn't show it on TV)
Coin Toss: Won by Chiefs, who opted to receive:) LOVED the Stitch On The Field commercial!!!
Was that Tom Cruise? And they're already doing a live action How To Train Your Dragon??? Is Disney out of ideas already???
Loved the Cancer, We're Gonna Knock You Out! Eugene Levy's eyebrows for Lil' Caesar's crazy puffs! Brilliant! Who was in the cruise one with Drew Barrymore?
Game:
Jalen Hurts and the Philly Eagles showed up and spanked Patrick Mahomes and the KC Chiefs.
Rather symbolic, if you think of their mascots, lol.....
Yes, each had controversial penalties...Philly had a face mask incident, while Chiefs had a blatent holding.....but Chiefs couldn't hardly get a 1st down! The Philly defense shut 'em down! Then Chiefs couldn't stop Philly's offensive line.
Halftime Score: 24-0, Philly
Now Let's Talk About That Halftime Show.
Things I Liked:
-No cursing
-No obscenity
-SZA's voice was amazing! That girl can sing! And she was dressed appropriately, no skin showing.
-I DID appreciate the fact the dancers were in the shape of a flag, and I understood the imagery
-I also liked Samuel Jackson playing the part of Uncle Sam.
Things I Didn't Like:
-I couldn't understand a word he was saying
-I didn't understand Uncle Sam's part
-Therefore, it was a little boring, but then again, it's not 'my' music, and Kendrick Lamar is not on any playlist of mine.....but I did watch it.
And then I woke up to this explanation:
"The biggest protest in Super Bowl history happened on the Stage tonight and folk screaming it's boring or trash because it went over their head! This what you didn't see.
.
Then again the message is Blacks have always been here to entertain THEY (Who are not like us) so they aren't bored.
.
They rather have Wayne up there high, who has backed Drake (The system) to push the agenda. .
The messages Kendrick just sent to America could not use Wayne.
It even started with the American Flag being built out of black people as America being built on the backs of black people.
.
Before I mention how being cool in our culture has always been stolen, no matter how many people try to steal it, they not like us.
.
WAS NOT ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE.. IT WAS ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THE MEDIA AND LABELS WHO CREATE DIVIDE. OK HERE GOES!
.
It started with Dead Pres intro beat and flow "Bigger than Hiphop" I'll put the video in comments.
.
First song: WHEN I HEAR MUSIC, IT MAKES ME DANCE (SQUABBLE UP). Puppet Strings of music making us dance vs pay attention.
.
Uncle (Sam)uel L Jackson started it off with the rules of the game of historical White America America.
.
Then Said when a bunch of blacks hanging out on the corner is too deep for the culture. Somebody gotta die. Deduct a life and create an environment to cancel each other out
.
The Squid games start which symbolizes the rich killing the poor for entertainment. Hmm. Imagine rappers beefing and killing and the media benefitting from their deaths.
.
The system allows Drake to push the Sexxxy Redd to taint the culture and empowers him
.
The dancers in Red White & Blue representing the American flag. Been Dancing to the drums of the system. And we want entertainment and to be able to dance than be educated.
.
The main Stage was a Playstation. Squid Game card 
and the system is a game designed to keep us dancing and imprisoned which is why it was in a prison yard. .
Protecting black women like Serena Williams after the disrespect from Drake
.
Notice he brought out SZA as a black woman and she did not have to be half naked on display for the world letting her voice shine?
.
And once again reminding the system of Drake and America "They (Plants) are Not Like Us" and can't infiltrate the culture.
.
Game Over.. TV OFF. Been under their control. Revolution.
.
Drake Been used to further sour the system and be a plant for the same system Malcolm X warned about from the music execs who own media and use it to divide us.
.
This is bigger than rap! And women who feel disrespected should see it.
People who are tired of being divided should see it. Notice the American flag divided?
.
But most of all, those who didn't have a lens to see it just shows the system has worked and you're the type it's been working on.
.
Dude is the most creative genius in hiphop history.
.
But go off. Maybe we can see more well respected entrepreeurs and family men leading for once.
.
Here is the kicker: Look at your fb friends who say they wish it was more entertaining. Yeah, they were who it's been working on. The system rather keep you choosing entertainment over being educated
.
Watch the first 10 secs of his rap. Dead Pres reference Bigger Than Hiphop. True Art!
.
Rappers sent as plants to hurt us will no longer be tolerated. WE ARE WOKE. If you're mad at it please don't complain about being looked at a certain way.
.
Because if you keep praising the entertainers who promote killing each other and degrading our women. I guess America will think it's OK too.
.
Watch the comments fill up with "Nothing will change" from people who are ok waiting for it to change vs doing their part.
.
The point he was making was... Come to this post in 24 hours and watch how many of us are fighting the message and messenger vs thinking of positive growth to move forward
.
You don't expect shucking and jiving and twerking from an artist who was the only rapper ever to win a Pulitzer Prize. You appreciate ART. And Art is sometimes boring but changes cultures.
Them: We watch Super Bowl to be entertained
.
Well it's 2025. The Super Bowl performance goes on Youtube and we can talk about it for weeks and hopefully lead to Unity and Change."
Second Half:
Chiefs didn't 'come alive' until the 3 min mark; it was 40-6 (the Chiefs DID manage to score a TD, but failed the 2-pt conversion); and Jalen and Co turned things over to the 2nd or 3rd string, so they could say they played. Chiefs scratched their way back to a score of 22, so the final wasn't a total blowout, losing 40-22.
But it begs the question.....were the Chiefs so arrogant they thought they'd just show up and win, or were they truly caught off guard by Philly doing their homework and being PREPARED to take down the Chiefs?
I don't blame Mahones and Kelsie feeling ashamed they could only break through the 2nd or 3rd string players. Patrick was spanked on Nat'l TV and humiliated in front of POTUS.
Commercials:
Doritos Tug of War....cute!
Didn't understand Cikul
Loved 'Seal' with Seal's face!
Wished I hadn't stepped away when they showed Eli beating Peyton at the Fandual game....loved the aftermath
Uber Eats: Football was invented to sell food! "Coach, do I really have to be called 'the refrigerator?"
Was that supposed to be Johnny Cash singing Personal Jesus? Ugh....
Loved the 3 Bears spoof for Dodge Ram!
Harry and Sally remake for mayo...cute!
Awwww....the colt for Budweiser!!
Lays!
Peyton and Bud Lite cul-de-sac!
Love the Meta ones....'you just ate a $2 million banana!"
Harrison Ford: "This Jeep makes me happy....even though my name is (whispers) Ford." Priceless!
News:
Since we no longer get the regular channels, I'll have to hope and pray they show us tomorrow about the aftermath, since all I'm seeing this morning are the Sunday speculations.
I was cheering on the Chiefs one last time (they're almost becoming the Tom Brady-era Pats), but at the same time, I LIKE Jalen Hurts. So wasn't mad about 'my team' losing....it was the WAY they lost. C'mon.....let them get a TD per quarter....you know you're going to score again, so throw them a bone?
I know.....that's not how the game is played.
