Superbowl Sunday….must have menus, and who you got 🏈??

We were hoping for Detroit and Baltimore. I'll be focusing on the food and cocktails this year.
 
Or the commercials. That always seems like one of the best parts of the show. I don't think that snack food company was doing their competition like in the past over the best user submitted commercial.

More looking forward to watching Caitlin Clark at 1 on Fox potentially breaking the scoring record for Iowa

I hope you were good to your word. That was as exciting a women's team competition I've ever seen...and that includes Nebraska volleyball. Unfortunately, I couldn't get one of the 15,000 tickets sold. The Iowegians boxed me out.

Couple of bad shots by Caitlin at the end. You could feel the momentum switching end of third/fourth quarter.

Nebraska looked good. Almost looks like a better team overall.

The impressive thing to me about Caitlin - she does it without being selfish. Some great assists today.
 
I actually wondered if she backed off/team focus was to not break the record today. And to do it instead in front of her fans, at home.

I can’t recall a game when she didn’t score in the 4 the quarter. She did hit 1k assists though, only the 6th woman to do so.

It was exciting to watch. Now on to the BIG GAME!!
 
Most underwhelming Super Bowl ever. Neither team brought their A game, terrible halftime show, and not a single clever or funny commercial. And our friend’s food spread was just cold pizza and cupcakes. I want my day back. :mad:

Who the heck is Usher? I didn’t recognize a single face in that halftime show, but I don’t get that genre—at.all. Just talentless cacophony to my ears.

Not sure I’ll even watch next year. Unless the Lions play.

The lions would have won. Not sure why San Fran abandoned the run in third quarter.

I don’t know Usher’s music. But at least it was appropriate for families this year.

I ate too much during the Iowa basketball game and wasn’t hungry during Super Bowl. Cold pizza and cupcakes sound good to me! ;) Though I must admit my sister’s potato skins and wings looked perfect.
 
Moody's missed kick cost the Niners the game. I wonder how much therapy it will take before he gets a single night of sleep where he isn't reliving that play.

I thought the same thing. The "youngsters" in my office thought it was "spectacular" and "great".
Bah, Humbug! No tralent bums. All of them.

The best part of the evening for me was DraftKings trying their best to get me to cash out before the team I bet on won, and they had to pay me. :)
 
The commercials mostly seemed like an odd hodge podge and if you didn't know the back-story of the celebrity, made little sense. The beach bar runs out of beer, so the guy (apparently a retired soccer star) runs around kicking a soccer ball then D. Marino appears on a yacht. Or that bumbling person who appeared in various ads trying to get us to look at a website that either lists vacation rental properties or is a place to sell your home. Most of them seem like since they cost so much to air, they try to jam as much as possible in the 30 seconds of airtime. LOTS of ads for movies, TV shows and streaming services. With some ads wasn't even clear what they were advertising. Seemed like they spent a lot of money for an unknown benefit. A religious ad done (I believe) by the same group who advertised last year and in various other high profile events. I assume their website asks you to 'donate' to help pay the high cost of their pricey ads. Would think there are more cost effective ways to create awareness about whatever religious organization they represent.

Most Super Bowl half-time shows seem needlessly hectic when they try to feature as many songs/musicians/acts into their 13 minute allotment as possible. Didn't know most of the acts and appeared to have technical issues with the sound. I thought the guitar solo was some member of the back-up band, but apparently she is a well-known artist.

I thought the woman singing was very pretty. ;)

I think her name is Keke Palmer.

I don’t know who the guitar player was.

But you nailed it. I was disappointed. Iowa’s Caitlin Clark was the highlight of my day.

NFL - enough is enough. It is time to script a win for the Minnesota Vikings. I am getting old. ;)

I had a dear friend - a client … just die of cancer. He was enlisted in the navy. A die hard Buffalo Bills fan. For the first time in my life I was rooting for them. For him. Didn’t work out.
 
I know Alicia Keys was the woman singing at the red piano. Don't know the names of any of the other female half-time performers.

I would imagine most younger viewers would only know former president Kennedy from their history classes. The ad was apparently attempting to draw parallels to a current candidate, but now claims the ad was done without his permission. Strange way to spend $7M.

Makes sense. Alicia is beautiful.
