It’s beyond me why they trot out these in your face crappy artist that promote their sickessage.
Beyonce comes to mind.
Every year it’s some rocker.
Why isn’t TSylor Swift or Miranda Lambert types featured?
And I love the “Kitty Half-Time”!
I’ve been watching that since it first began. Sometimes we have the game on too- but for me to watch football, the Pats have to be playing... (my late uncle used to call them the “Pats”, not sure if it’s still used).
I’m a Pats & Red Sox girl, just like my late mom who LOVED baseball!
Haven’t watched a game since kapernit took a knee.
I haven’t watch the NFL all year but I thought about watching the Super Bowl. Falcons vs. Pats should be a good match up.
Then I remember that Lady Gaga is the halftime show and I said forget it.
Who watches the halftime show? It’s not nearly as good as the commercials. Halftime is when you use the facilities and reload the snacks.
I’ll watch the game...(we always watch football muted with Pandora soft jazz going). We take a break at halftime and go do other things. So I guess I’ll miss a Lady GaGa and her “political” statement. My feeling is, if that is allowed, the NFL won’t have a chance next year. It is on life support now, that would pull the plug.
I didn’t think I could live without the NFL, but after suffering for 30+ years as a Viking fan, something happened once I watched my kids’ Catholic school team win the state championship here in Wisconsin. It was awesome, and the high quality, low-cost product put on by the boys at the school made it really easy to never look back.
Two words... Puppy Bowl!
Last year's Puppy Bowl is even available in virtual reality on your Gear VR. Watch it from the perspective of your puppy!

>They’ve already told Gaga no politics. And technically Kaepernick is not an employee of the NFL, he’s an employee of the Niners, and highly ignorable.
The league could punish him for his actions but refuses to do so. Instead they promoted the heck out of him and his cause.
Now everybody is going to watch to see what Gaga does. NFL execs are going to have a case of Prilosec on standby for the halftime show.
Actually instead they ignored him and by the time October came around it was a non-event. Much smarter move than taking sides. Really the only people that promoted Colin were all the people mad at him, if everybody had just STFU it would have gone by unnoticed. You guys gave him a month of free press.

A non event? Football viewership is in the toilet.

LOL, you’re a fool. Football was our most patriotic support and now the hardcore patriots who’ve watched football for their entire life are tuning it out because the people running the league spend their time promoting leftist causes instead of football and patriotism.
No, rating bounced back after the election. They’re back to inline with last year.

Nope. 3.4 rating decline for the NFC championship game this year. That’s millions of people not watching.
That’s standard variation. Especially for a matchup that wasn’t that exciting and a game that was over in the first quarter.
Actually forget variation, you’re wrong:

NFC (27.4) was up from last year (26.8), AFC was down (27.6), but last year’s AFC game had insane ratings (31.8) thanks to the Manning thing, but still really good. Especially when you factor in that last year it was AFC first then NFC and this year’s AFC ratings (late game) were better than the NFC last year in that time slot.
So the ratings indeed are still fine once the election got out of the way.
