Super Bowl 2025

[viewing ownly]

Without a care, I took it in. Many people were blasting the score graphic being gigantic. They can go eff themselves - I LOVED it. Us older people, ones with small televisions, or out and about squinting to see on a faraway screen in a small bar what the score is had no problem with who had what. I'm sure for many, it was complete disbelief that Kansas City had a goose egg for so long. 

As for the commercials, I felt horrible for Pringles. Little Caesars had a gag with eyebrows flying around causing havoc. When Pringles had a similar concept, it spelled disaster, since it isn't funny more than once. Clearly the companies have no idea that they are running similar jokes.

I knew I wasn't going to like halftime, but some folks with too much time on their hands at home were screaming about the racial makeup of the performers being all the same. Why would anyone care? I credit this being the first Super Bowl in many decades that didn't have lame, pointless "fans" screaming and jumping up and down, pretending to like whoever is performing. That was a breath of fresh air. 

As for the game, it's a miracle Taylor Swift was only shown once, maybe twice - I wasn't that glued, but I think Paul McCartney may have gotten more crowd air time, since the game wasn't interesting. Spoiler alert : Philadelphia won, Kansas City lost.

Yay!! Iggles win!!! And the score was so lopsided from the start that I could actually step away to do other things at times during the game, like walk the dog. I played tennis in the morning with a guy from Missouri who was a Chiefs' fan, and he beat me, so I got some vicarious revenge. Because of the timing of the game for those of us on the West Coast, I skipped the half-time show and took advantage of the opportunity to make and eat my dinner then, so I can't comment on the entertainment. I thought the ads were less interesting than usual.

The half-time show was heavy on the rap, not a word of which I could understand.
