yea i GET it..
Yep. New Supra is a Z4 with different styling. It’s even built in Graz, Austria.
The teams might have been less lackluster if both teams that won the right to be there had been playing. Do the Pats play the Saints early in the season? I hope it’s the first game. That will be the real Super Bowl. And, oh yeah, that half time show. They should’ve let Gladys Knight do that. She was wonderful and classy with the National Anthem.
Just my opinion Joe.
Billions would disagree with me though.
I’d rather watch paint dry..
I get why others would disagree it is just my one personal opinion.
Pats will not play the Saints in 2019.
They will play the Eagles and Cowboys. And the Chiefs.
I grew up in Texas as well. We said that soccer was for the Three F’s. Fags, flakes, and foreigners.
Well we can’t all like the same things. Which is fine because we are all different. Even my own brothers are not that keen on soccer and think I am nuts for being crazy about soccer all my life. It’s all good.
I prefer the World Series, played by a sport that truly is diverse.
The Ads were more interesting than the game........................
The commercials were, as a whole, very bad. Many had this weird, creepy undertone, even when effective (i.e. - SimpliSafe) and/or were confusing, with bad choices of spokespeople, or with “famous” people I think I was supposed to know. Disappointed with Budweiser Windmills. 2 most offensive were Google PC Virtue Signal everything salad & WaPo journolists.
The only ones that got a plus from me were the opening Wal-Mart one Iconic cars, Hyundai people in elevator, Bud Light corn syrup keg, the mosh of Bud Light and Game of Thrones, Stella Artois (most interesting man in the world cameo), Verizon 1st responders, the Microsoft adaptive game controller, & the Toyota Supra (prototype?). There were several others that were tolerable to mildly funny and/or well done.
I had two 1985s (previous body style). Great cars with that super smooth inline six. The teaming with BMW makes sense since BMW is probably the only major car company that still uses the inline six configuration. A Supra wouldn’t be a Supra without an inline six and I’m assuming they stayed with the tradition.

Toyota really blew it with this one considering the fan following the name brand has.
Could have been really something special..
Yea the Mark 2’s are iconic....great cars.
Those engines were sooooo smooth i can’t tell you how many times i went to start the car while it was already running.
Thank god i found out about cylinder head torque prob before i blew a gasket.
Americans, especially conservatives, are different than the rest of the world. If we wanted to be like the rest of the world, we would be democrats.
Me too.
And you're correct. My life is more fulfilled now than it was when I wasted my time watching the fake news and fake sports.
Some of my old buddies from school have asked me what in the world I do with all of my time now that I don't spends hours and hours watching news and sports.
I just look at them and shake my head. If they don't understand, then I can't explain it to them.
Life is not listening to some news anchor or taking head every night of the week. Or watching some game or listening to some sports commentator all weekend.
Life is everything outside of those contrived pursuits.
Yesterday was my birthday. I spent it playing with my 21 month old granddaughter and visiting with my daughter. Eating a favorite meal with the family. Not one TV was on the whole day and no one complained.
Life is good when you live it, instead of wasting it on trivial activities.
I would still want my money back anyway!
I still have questions about the ref's call that saved the Rams. If that foul was intentional to stop the Pats from scoring, it seems the result should've been over turned. I don't trust any institution. I'd be shocked but not disbelieving if that game was handed to the Rams to maximize SuperBowl viewership.
One of the reasons I've always loved Gladys Knight is that despite having an incredible set of pipes, she never relied on just showing them off constantly like many divas do. She used them when the song called for it but she preferred to emphasize the soul, feeling and emotion of a song. A truly gifted vocalist.
