Title: Super Bowl LX
Post by: vegashog on Feb 08, 2026, 04:23 PM
feel free to discuss the game here.

don't know if the pats have the offense to keep up unless darnold turns back into a potato.

haven't watched a halftime show in who knows how many years so i won't be tuning in for either of them.

The gayest Super Bowl ever.  Feels like the Seahawks are just too complete of a team.  Going to take Maye and the Pats' defense playing out of their minds to win this.

Why was a New Jersey guy pimping New England? Seems they could have gotten Matt Damon or an Affleck.

Started off strong, gave Gabby two songs and Lee Brice too much time, and then for some reason that classical interlude before Kid Rock started a good but slow song.  Meanwhile the 3rd quarter is coming up.

Good idea, but TP really should have hired someone to plan this all out to be actually finished during halftime.

I had the over 7.5 punts prop and it cashed by halftime. I wasn't expecting it to be THAT bad. The Pats appear to be a fraud who feasted on the worst schedule in 25 years.

I will say the lack of penalty flags has been delightful.

Frauds. Getting to play the Jets and Dolphins four times and this overall:


   •   Opponent Win %: .429 (124-165).
   •   Strength of Schedule: Ranked as the second easiest since 2002, with a .391 SOS in some reports.
   •   Key Matchups: The team played only three games against opponents that finished with a winning record (Buffalo Bills twice, Pittsburgh Steelers once).

The Hollywood corporate suits got involved. Those old commercials from the 80s and 90s were created by real artists who wanted to create something memorable. Today, the commercials are suppose to be inoffensive and appeal to everyone. Its the same thing that has happened to everything else corporate dispshits get their hands on: Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, etc.

Just googled to see who won and apparently it was Bad Bunney's "historic super bowl halftime show". LULZ...holy shit our media is such propaganda. To be completely honest it could have been a bad ass performance and still be shit as far as I'm concerned.

The TPUSA show got 5 million viewers which probably means it was a lot more than that and they won't admit it. I missed it was watching something on tv and was trying to time it just right but by the time I got over to it the 3rd quarter was about to start.

I saw someone post on the facepage "how much of a snowflake do you have to be to have to have an alternate halftime show?"
I guess about as much as having to have a separate "national anthem"

In fairness this isn't anything overly new....we've had the Puppy Bowl and Fish Bowl for years. Mostly stuff for kids. I think MTV had something way back when people still watched MTV but I don't really remember much about it.

I remember they would do Celebrity Death Match SB half time episodes.

WWF would have half time matches as well. The Rock and Man Kind was one.

both of them were a bunch of bad lip syncing.

the halftime show isn't for the fans that watch the game, just the opposite. it's to get a bunch of people that don't give a shit about football to tune in so the networks can sell those $5 million ad spots. marketing 101.

Something I thought about last night...too late to do anything about it of course. 

If you're able next year, and you don't approve of the halftime show/ads/NFL in general, watch the game on over the air TV rather than streaming.  Make it difficult if not impossible for them to count you as a viewer when they sell ads for the following year.

The Nielsen ratings still pick you up even over the air.  

A little AI for the "are nielsen ratings still relevant for over the air broadcasts" question...

Yes, Nielsen ratings remain highly relevant for over-the-air (OTA) television, serving as the primary currency for advertising rates and programming decisions despite the rise of streaming. While OTA viewership has dropped below 20% of total TV usage, Nielsen has adapted by integrating "Big Data + Panel" measurements from 45 million households to better track live, antenna-based viewing and out-of-home audiences.
Industry Standard: Nielsen still controls an estimated 80% to 90% of the national TV currency market.
Advertising & Decisions: Nielsen data determines advertising rates (upfronts) and whether shows are renewed or canceled.
Modernization: To combat accuracy issues, Nielsen now uses data from smart TVs and set-top boxes, enhancing their panel-based, "Big Data + Panel" approach.
Local Importance: In specific markets, over-the-air usage is still significant (e.g., over 27% of homes in Houston).
While criticism exists, particularly regarding accuracy in the streaming era, no other firm has yet replaced Nielsen as the industry's standard.

How do they pick them up?  It seems like it would at the very least be more difficult with OTA versus streaming or a set top box of some kind.

I assume "they" do what they did in the old days before the invention of the adobes.  The Nielsen ratings have been around since the 1950s.

"Nielsen ratings for television started in 1950, when A.C. Nielsen began measuring TV audiences using audimeters and diaries in a sample of U.S. homes, building on his earlier work in radio audience measurement. The company acquired Hooper Associates in early 1950, leading to the first national Nielsen ratings being released in March 1950, covering data from late February/early March."

They used to pay people to have boxes on their TVs or report what they watched.  Which is why I thought that, given the fact that I do neither of those, if I watch OTA TV they wouldn't know.

If it's thru a smart tv chances are they know because the tv is constantly sending telemetry back to the mother-ship regardless of what is being watched. I'm sure a feller can block a certain amount of that out with stuff like Unbound, Adguard, or Pihole but "they" will probably count those dropped packet traffic as hits. 
 
Just like with your cell phone not actually connecting to a network it's still scanning and getting ssid hits and somehow or another they've managed to use that data in conjunction with bluetooth as a means of tracking your position within x amount of accuracy. The big companies and gov have manged to carve out plenty of ways of data scraping and this is just the stuff we know about.

First game I watched this year. About 2 quarters worth. Some of the most boring football I've seen in years. I've decided that since all the NFL wants to do is insult my values, I'll pass on their product.

My predominant thought anytime I think about Alexa listening in or my TV or browsing habits being tracked is not "how dare they!" Instead, I just want to apologize to the watchers for being so boring. Sorry to waste your time, you are free to move on to a terrorist or kiddie diddler or something.

Back in the 80s on the CBS evening news they did a report on people's tv viewing habits. I dont remember if was Nielsen that was doing the study or someone else, but they had cameras taping people when they had the tv on. One clip showed a couple making out. I wonder if the couple did more than that.

The bad bunny halftime was not that bad and I expected worse. For everyone bitching about not being able to understand the language, how is that any different from listening to someone from the delta with a heavy Cajun accent - you have no idea what they are saying either.

It was better than Kendrick Lamar. Much better.

Yes, I'd rather hear anything other than rap.

Or what about someone appreciating Pavarotti or Bocelli?

I've even heard crazy talk there is such a thing as music without any words atall!


I just don't understand getting so bent out of shape over 20 minutes of something that's easily avoided if one is so inclined.  And something that affects one's life not the least bit.

can they break it due to his association with Epstein and being in the files? Was Jay Z even at the game? I think he fled last week out of the country.

On another note, bad bunny isn't really singing in Spanish apparently he has his own weird language that's quasi Spanish he just sorta made up and even Hispanic people don't understand him. I saw a video of when his background track stopped in a live show and he kept singing and it was horrific. Apparently he dated Kendall Jenner which is surprising since he plays himself as a womanizer in all his music
