The league announced that Green Day will open the Feb. 8 game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, performing during the opening ceremony ahead of Bad Bunny's halftime show.

These clowns are in the RRHOF. It shows you the low standards that place has if Green Day is in there and classic American bands like Boston and REO Speedwagon are not!

I used to watch the Super Bowl just for the commercials and halftime show.
I guess, I will pass this time altogether.

Not much criticism as totally expected. Newsmax needs a new topic.

Given that ...

A) The game itself is guaranteed to be between two teams with at least one Bowl win under their belts, and
B) halftime does not involve Metallica, Paul with Ringo, George Strait, or Weird Al ...

I'll pass and call it good.

It’s in Californication.

No surprise that it’s going to hate anything not liberal.

Glad you could handle the math.

Wiki is your friend...

Super Bowl television ratings have traditionally been high. One of the most watched annual sporting events in the world, the NFL’s championship game is broadcast in over 130 countries in more than 30 languages. Viewership is predominantly North American. The Super Bowl is the most watched television broadcast in the United States every year.

You’re welcome. See ya on the NFC & AFC Threads Sat. & Sunday! LOL

Maybe they could add Millionaire Communists, Rage Against the Machine. And they could have a drunken Linda Ronstadt come on and express how worried she is that there might be a Republican in the audience.
