Smart. There will be no fewer than 3 Lady Gaga/Hamilton F-bombs prior to the word “Trump”.

Gaga is a political whore at this point in time. Why would ANYONE hire her for anything? She joins the ranks of Jane.

Let the communists continue to beat their heads against a wall; their energy can’t be sustained. By the late Spring they will have spent themselves while we hold our fire for the ‘18 midterms.

Ratings don't work that way unless you're one of the Nielsen families with a set-top box that track usage... many Nielsen families still use the manual diaries to write down what they watch.

I say take the delay out and let Gaga say what she wants. She’ll embarrass herself and Middle America will be outraged. Fox will lose viewers, sponsors will lose dollars and the NFL will have given itself another black eye. The delay only protects the aforementioned entities.

5 second delay for live TV is pretty standard, isn’t it?

"Tape delay" is just a figure of speech... it's just as easy to delay digital broadcasting. Kind of like saying "Just dial 911...." when no one has phones with dials on them anymore.

Actually, I predict a stunning halftime show from Gaga, rivaling Katie Perry’s and Michael Jackson’s shows.

El Rushbo used to say it took a 7 second delay for him to hear an obscenity and then hit the “deedle button” to overbleep it on the air.

I guess Lady Gag-Me will be uttering a lot of “bleeps” tonight.

She has a great voice and puts on a great show. But she is into Spirit Cooking. And hates Trump. So I don’t want to watch.

No need for the adjective “political.”

She and Madonna are the personification of defilement of women, and they both have made buckets of money doing so.
