Super Bowl General Discussion

So...

Anyone watching Super Bowl 50?

Doesn't sport fall under Live Performance?

I'm trying not to, but for some strange effing reason its even on german TV.

Live Performances pretty much refers to plays, musicals, live shows.

I don't think football counts as a live performance.

Well, it's called the most watched event on TV for a reason, right?

(Also I'm curious, is it dubbed in German over there or what?)

if its like wrestling, they shipped over some commentators to live comment it for the german stations. We're not even getting the superbowl ads!

You don't get the ads?!

My heart weeps for you...

That was some jump.

I know a team won but how good was the Halftime Show?

I thought the halftime show was hilarious. Coldplay's frontman, a white British guy wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, and rainbow colored flower patterns flanked by Bruno Mars and Beyonce, both wearing black leather and gold. I half expected them to start singing "One of these things is not like the others."

I have to say, I'm very happy that the news coverage isn't playing up Peyton Manning's role in the Bronco's win. He didn't win the game. The Broncos didn't win because of him. The Broncos won in spite of him.

I live in Indiana, and some people here actually think they wouldn't have had as good of an offense without him. Brock Osweiler is just as good if not better than elder Manning

So...which add was the best in the end?

Manning's arm strength is the worst in the league, and has been for the last 4 years of his career. He was never top-shelf physical talent. He is basically a football nerd, whose skill lies in his ability to get his team into the correct play for the situation they're in.

Here's what: his arm strength was not a liability until this year because Peyton Manning is smart enough to not reveal his limitations. This year, defenses wised up, took away his short routes, and found out that they get contested balls when they make him go deep.

I was blown away by how good every level of the Broncos defense is. The line did exactly what they needed to do, they kept Newton in the pocket and made him throw. The blasted him up the middle and made it so that the only way that the Panthers could move the ball was by throwing big bombs and letting their corners go up against the pedestrian wide-outs that Newton has backing him up.

Thing is, both of the starting corners for the Broncos were voted into the Pro Bowl. Both of the Broncos linebackers were voted into the Pro Bowl. The Panthers were not prepared to play against the speed that the Broncos had at both of those positions, and it showed.

Cam Newton stirred up controversy this season for being a black man with a personality and continued to do so by being a sulky black man at the end of the game. How dare a man of color dance and enjoy himself when he's successful. How dare a man of color indicate that he is disappointed by his performance through body language and a lack of desire to discuss his failure.

Anyway, great defense all game. That's about it.
