Rinse, repeatIt was obvious, at least to me, why Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, and Green Day were headlining the Super Bowl halftime show. Each of them had loud anti-ICE messages heading into the Super Bowl weekend. All of their clips went viral. Lady Gaga and her usual blithering nonsense virtue signaled over in Japan.Green Day, a band that is no longer relevant and is sponsored by Spotify, had its usual anti-Trump screeching that then went viral, telling ICE to quit their job and calling out Kristi Noem, JD Vance, etc. I don’t believe this clip is from the Super Bowl,...

Super Bowl viewers were left 'sickened' after social media users began circulating English translations of Spanish lyrics from Bad Bunny's music following his headline-making halftime performance. Following the show, critics branded the content 'pure degeneracy' and questioned why the NFL put the global superstar on its biggest stage. The backlash erupted hours after the show, when conservative commentator Megan Basham posted screenshots of translated lyrics, which she described as 'the most obscene lyrics ever to be performed at a Super Bowl halftime.' In his track, Safaera, Bad Bunny boast about explicit sexual acts, drug use and casual hookups, with repeated...

Why the artificial-intelligence advertising spree could be the last hurrah - like the dot-coms in 2000 OpenAI and Anthropic are losing enormous amounts of money, yet are given valuations as if they were real companies making real profits. During Super Bowl XXXIV on Jan. 30, 2000, 14 of the 61 television advertisements were for internet startups. Perhaps they should have heeded the advice offered by E-Trade's "Waste of Money" ad that year, which featured a dancing monkey and ended with the on-screen punchline: "Well, we just wasted $2,000,000. What are you doing with your money?" That Super Bowl was played...

Americans were forced to sit through one of their biggest cultural events of the year in a language that is not theirs, surrounded by symbols of other, foreign places. The Super Bowl is supposed to be one of the cultural cornerstones in American life that still belongs to Americans. There are only a handful of days each year when most of the country pauses and gathers around the same screen to participate in something recognizably ours. It’s a shared experience — rooted in common language and culture and tradition. Which is why the Super Bowl half time show this year...

The All-American Halftime Show pulled in OVER 25 MILLION views on just YouTube and Rumble alone, with a lot of large groups watching together, so the number of viewers is likely far higher. And the numbers are still climbing (broadcast partners, fast channel partners, and final counts incoming). Based on tonight’s success, we have committed to running it back again next year. The All-American Halftime Show will be back in 2027. God bless America. 🇺🇸

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — When the Seattle Seahawks hired Mike Macdonald to be their head coach two years ago, it came at a time when most teams were looking for the next young offensive genius to lead their team. But Macdonald had a reputation. The “defensive Sean McVay” was mentioned a few times about Macdonald, who was the Baltimore Ravens’ defensive coordinator before he was hired by Seattle. In Super Bowl LX, Macdonald proved the Seahawks right. Betting on coaches who know how to slow down the NFL’s best offenses can also be a championship formula. The Seahawks won the...

Super Bowl LX kicks off at 6:30 PM ET from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, featuring the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks in what promises to be an epic showdown.

This marks a rematch of sorts for these franchises, though with completely different rosters than their previous Super Bowl meetings. NBC has the broadcast...

SUPER BOWL LX: Live Thread Your home for all things Fool's Ball! In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

Three weeks ago, my beloved San Francisco 49ers were unceremoniously dispatched from the NFL playoffs by the Seattle Seahawks, who are vying for their second Super Bowl championship today. The result didn’t surprise many; the Niners were hobbled by injuries to many of their best players and, frankly, enjoyed more than a bit of luck in getting as far as they did this past season. But every year, the Grim Reaper comes for all but one team, and my guys could not evade his grip. More alarmingly, in his new book, the writer Chuck Klosterman predicts the Reaper will soon...

Green Day have changed the lyrics to two of their most famous songs ahead of the band's upcoming Super Bowl performance. Green Day, comprising Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool, will perform at the Super Bowl's opening ceremony show on Sunday, February 8. The Grammy Award-winning band, which has outwardly condemned Donald Trump in the past, will be singing a number of their biggest hits as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots prepare to take the field at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Following the American Idiot's hitmakers' performance, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will perform,...

Bad Bunny used his acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards on Sunday to denounce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and call for the end of the ongoing immigration crackdown."Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say ICE out," the Puerto Rican artist said as he accepted the Grammy for his album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" in the música urbana album category. "We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans."His statement was met with applause and standing ovations. It came as protests against ICE took place across the country this weekend,...

The game kicks off on Sunday, February 8 between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. And with a full week of festivities planned for the week leading up to the game, the NFL announced today the appointment of one YouTube creator as the league’s “Chief Kindness Officer” and “Creator of the Week.”That prestigious role goes to Dhar Mann, a YouTuber with nearly 27 million subscribers who’s known for his scripted content. (Gotta be honest, I’ve never heard of this guy until…well, pretty much right now).According to an interview with...

Super Bowl ads are starting to roll out and Budweiser just dropped a teaser that already has people talking and guessing. The clip opens in a barn with the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales doing their thing when they suddenly stop and stare at a shiny metal bucket that’s … moving. Whatever’s underneath is making noises, the horses are curious, and we’re all sitting here wondering what on earth is hiding under there. Budweiser tagged the spot with the title “Stable” and confirmed they’re officially back for Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. No other details yet, just a lot of...
