Maroon 5 had a #1 song last year , and I don’t buy that it should of been an all Atlanta show, I think they should get who is hot now! Regardless of where they are from . The next Super Bowl in New Orleans shouldn’t be an all Jazz/zydeco show. With all that said, people make too big a deal of the halftime entertainment. It’s a football game for crying out loud! Halftime use to be for making a second half beer /Guacamole run!
Game Thread: SUPER BOWL LIII - Sunday, Feb. IIIrd. V:XXX P.M. CT. CBS.

Throughout the 80's and early 90's the NFC was far superior to the AFC and The Super Bowl showed us every year.
Atlanta has a pretty meaningful place in modern popular music. I think in this case it would've worked out well and been fun for all involved. I don't think every halftime needs to be a taste of local culture but in this particular case it would've worked.
Also, you can have a recent #1 hit and still be past your peak in terms of stardom in my opinion. They didn't get Gaga or Katy Perry at their respective peaks.
I thought that was very well done. Never heard of them but those two have big time skills.
America the beautiful was excellent. I am not familiar with those sisters but they are both excellent and whoever arranged that song did a stellar job.
Gladys Knight is my all time favorite female singer. I love the syrupy quality of her voice, great vocal range, and command of her voice. And not that it matters but she is 74 tears old and still has world class chops.
America the Beautiful is just a way better song than the National Anthem.
My issue with the game last night was that I couldn’t believe these were the two best teams in football. Neither offense played well.
At at least in the 55-10 game we were left with a championship team that had played well.
The Titans would have beaten the Pats last night. It was just a poorly played game. Lots of defenses would have looked good against these offenses.

Yeah, I agree with this. There was one shot during that show of Prince standing at the end of the stage playing and sounding like Hendrix with literally sheets of rain coming down.
Respect.
The Pats defense was fantastic. The Titans wouldn't have gotten 10 points last night. They probably wouldn't have scored at all.
The Titans without a healthy Marriotta probably wouldnt have crossed the 50 vs the Patriots tis last month. The only teams that probably had a shot last night are KC, Pittsburgh, Philly, and LA. You either need an elite defense that can limit Brady with an above average offense, An uncanny postseason qb on a better than average team, or an offense that cant be stopped. Tennessee had none of those. I just dont see anyone realistically beating them last night outside the Chiefs and Steelers (yeah I know Pittsburgh didnt make it to the playoffs but their weapons and their defensive front puts them in a better position to beat them than most anyone).
As far as a blowout super bowl vs a defensive struggle.... I still cant finish blowouts but can finish struggles. The only exception was the Seattle-Denver game for 3 reasons: 1) I had something riding on it 2) I got tired of the unstoppable offense argument for the previous month and a half and 3) I dont like Peyton for the 95 game. But SB 48 was a horrible super bowl.
Good grief, guys, the comment about the Titans wasn’t meant to be taken so literally. A lot of defenses would have looked good against the Rams or Pats last night. That’s all. I could have said the Chargers, Bears, or Seahawks.
FWIW, the Titans beat the Pats 34-10 in November in another game where Brady struggled. But nobody thinks the Titans belong in the Super Bowl.
To each his own with the blowout or struggle. The Bama/ND game was a pleasure to watch. It depends on your personal interest in the game.
you clearly said
How else am I supposed to take it other than you believe that the Titans wouldve beaten them? But this time without Mariotta... Had you said the Chiefs, Steelers, Philly, or someone that could’ve challenged their Dbs then maybe, but the Titans wouldve gotten blown out because Belichick wouldve totally shut down Henry like the Colts and Texans did.
1) with Mariotta
2) Brady and Belichick dont usually get had twice in a season by the same team. Look at KC this year

81, I’m sorry, brother, but I just don’t have time for this discussion right now because of a hectic day at work. I just thought there were several lowly NFL teams that could have beaten either the Rams or Pats last night because IMO, neither team looked like they had their A game. I can respect that you disagree.
I can accept that there are teams that could’ve had success vs these offenses last night even if I was to ignore that the 2 of the best defensive minds in history were coaching against each other ( Belichick and Phillips), but it’s more of the team you chose. The Titans have an injured QB and a team that both Brady and Belichick have seen this year. It’s that I just think it’s a stretch even though they beat the Pats.
If one of those teams played someone else, obviously the game would have been different. Had the Pats played the Saints, I don't believe the Saints would have only scored 3 points, but it is also unlikely that NE would have only scored 13. Maybe the Saints could have won, but I would have still bet on the Pats in a higher-scoring affair.
When the game was over, I told a friend that I wouldn't be able to listen to any commentary about the game because it would all be about how dull and boring it was. And all because it wasn't 55-51 and a see-saw game. To me, it was the best Super Bowl I remember in many years, simply because the yards and points were so hard-fought for. I had no "team" in the game, but I was pulling for the Patriots because of my distaste for some Rams personnel and the way they got there.

I didn’t care who won. I hated the Pats this year because of their “nobody believes in us”. It reminded me of clempson. It just wasn’t true. No one who watches football was seriously doubting the Pats. I hate the Rams too. I hate that LA whined and complained so much about not having a team that now they have 2. Now keep in mind the NFL left LA because no one was going to the games. Basically, LA only cared about an NFL team when they didn’t have a team. I predict eventually these new LA teams will start to have mediocre years and no one will care again. I found it amusing that in a year where offenses ruled the NFL, it was defenses that ruled the most important NFL game. Sorry aints fans you don’t get to play Uncle Rico and say “we’d won if Goodell had just put us in.”
IMHO, one of the best Superbowls ever. My team was the clear winner - the defense. Those of us who watch to see a QB get harried to distraction do not get many games to enjoy any more. This was one such game. Brady did not win that game - he had little to do with the win. The Pats D got the job done. And the Rams made the GOAT look mortal and over the hill. Let's lift a glass to the big uglies!
