What’s so curious to me is how little was said in all of the Substack voices about the actual game. I’m a big, serious football fan. let me tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed that Philly defensive masterpiece. It allowed their offense to shine. Total domination over the #1 team in the NFL takes a lot of strategy and execution. Something that seems to have been lost on most all of you.
I was not a fan of half time performance—and I haven’t found anyone I’ve talked to, who was. It’s strange how all comments were positive. I don’t believe that’s a good cross section of the country. Maybe it’s a generational thing. Hopefully the halftime entertainment next year will be geared to a larger group.
You are 100% right about Philly defense. The one redeeming quality in the game. But also the one that made it so hard to watch from a KC standpoint. They just looked terrible...and that's why.
Neither team is mine, Cinci Bengals, but hey its the Superbowl! A time to come together, laugh, cry, scream and watch 2 great teams come together! Loved it, did mute sound on Kendrick, sorry, :)
I am not a fan of rap and am unfamiliar with the rap artist but I thought there were many messages subtly layered in his lyrics and found it very moving- paired as it was with the iconic American visuals. Apparently the message was received by at least some of the targets....
(If my reply was posted already, I apologize.) The secret messages turned out to be a “He said, he said” bitch fest between two grown men who act like fifth graders. And somehow this captures the American audience? Embarrassing.
Somehow indeed… because it’s not even about the “he said she said” of one particular case. Rather the criminal enterprise that out$trips illicit drug money. Embarrassing to you?
Inexplicably bad game prep by KC—they knew what they were up against in the Sirianni/Moore/Fangio coaching combo and the Eagles’ elite players. No way is the loss on Mahomes.
No mention of the courageous protestor among Kendrick Lamar's dancers who, during a song, pulled out the flags of Sudan and Palestine and drew the crowd's attention to SUDAN and GAZA, then ran around displaying the flags until he was tackled, apparently by Secret Service men, who then dragged him away, so that HRH Trump would not be offended over his new real estate.
So a member of the death to America cult of islam is supposed to be a hero ? I say put that sob in Guantanamo! That death cult member like the rest of them has no place in our country period.
If you want to be as ignorant to twist a concept of the American people's constitutional rights to include the hate cult of islam which is the only one that is proclaiming that they are a religion in this country in order to abuse our rights to achieve their evil mission, then why don't you just endorse the kkk ? Your an idiot
You lose me when you describe an entire religion as a hate cult. As though Christianity has not been used as an excuse for almost every war that America has been involved in. As though Christian Zionism is not a driving behind the ethnic cleansing in Gaza right now.
I will also go out on a limb and say that you do not personally know any Muslims or have any as friends.
You have always seen Muslims as the bad guys and you might want to examine why that is.
Thank you. I have avoided watching the Grand Circus of Jocks for many years now and this is the first I hear of that. I am going to now go look at how, or even IF it has been covered by the oligarch controlled media. I now call commercial sources of information "Pravda"
A Pulitzer prize winning artist planned and executed a brilliant performance full of visual metaphor, perfect choreography, next-level staging, political commentary, and cultural references that went far over the heads of the average American who may only be entrenched in the small bubbles of their lives.
It was like watching people walk past a Van Gogh, turn up their noses, and say they prefer a comic book.
Most wouldn’t get it cuz they haven’t been following the year long drama & ongoing battle. That is until Kendrick EXPOSED Drake - stripped him bare for us all the FAKE Emperor had no clothes🔥🤡🤭
Anyone brave enough and talented enough to expose an alleged “PDF FILE” who has been “playing at Blackness” (bell hooks) his entire career, on the backs of Black culture to a multi-award winning song exists on a whole other level❤️💫🎤🎯
But I love the fact that it was about far more than Drake. Kendrick has been speaking truth to power in terms of pedophilia in the music industry and he will not be silenced. ✊🏽
Between Kendrick toppling Drake & The Diddler being exposed the issue of trafficking, sexual abuse and the twisted ways of Hollyweird were outed on a whole other level.
It has brought so much renewed hope and excitement for TIs for many reasons.
It made it much easier to talk about targeting in ways that removed it from our personal situations. Cassie & Kim became our reference points.
I was able to use it to educate people about Gangstalking, gaslighting and many even alleged The Diddler is a CIA Op.
It definitely wreaks of MKULTRA - starting with his seemingly untouchable status given he’s been out of control for decades, the limitless drugs, satanic sex rituals, children, animals, sodomy, gang rape, isolation, threats, violence, drugging targets, stalking and criminally harassing target, setting targets up, many similarities with what targeted Individuals experience. These are serious allegations from the endless number of accusers.
The horrible things these celebrities do we’re familiar even triggering at times but it’s out there much more than before.
And I thank Kendrick bcs he exposed the insanity that was happening in Canada which I myself had survived.
He exposed that something was definitely NOT in Canada and Drake suddenly represented WHY so much insanity had taken over Canada. Drake has a lot to do with it. Being coddled when they should be investigating the PDF allegations.
And we just saw his biggest fan Akademics is walking in Drakes shoes. He was recently busted for inappropriate conduct with a male minor online These guys are ALL SICK & must be held accountable🤢🧛🏻♂️
My 12 yo granddaughter insisted we all stay in place and watch the halftime. Before that I had heard of Drake, I had spent a year learning about Black liberation and the current attacks on free speech. This prepared me for the first line and a bit of the rest. I have spent most of my week getting info on every reference made. My heart grew three sizes for my granddaughter, and for the many patient teachers of every word, every movement and every image to prepare the audience that this revolution is here and televised. Uhuru
It's unfortunate that many did not know the back story of Kendrick Lamar. I had been hearing the noise, so I watched the documentary (won't mentioned the streaming service that bowed to #47, and that I canceled) prior to the game. So I was paying attention to the performance. There were a few messages transmitted but you would need to be aware. The performance itself was not spectacular, but I was proud that he stood up to the dumpster when the NFL did not! Maybe you didn't know...the dumpster was offended by the message, "Stop Racism" that was on the field. So the NFL removed it! More reason for me to hate the NFL.
I keep seeing these walls of text explaining all the lore you need to know in order to appreciate how great the show was, written by people who then say that racism is the reason why it didn't have mass appeal.
The 2022 show with Dr. Dre & co. won't be topped for a while.
@Farse Propaganda - a form of communication that aims to influence people's opinions or behaviors. It's often biased or misleading. I didn't see Propaganda in this performance. Nothing misleading or trying to influence behaviour. Entertainment can serve multiple purposes ...to entertain and educate.
Well, unless you were the 13% of the population of the United States that they programmed the event for, I guess the rest of us wasted our time and some wasted a helluva lot of money too !
What 13% are you referring to? There were many messages in the performances, designed collectively, to reach 100% of audience. But you'd have to be paying close attention and you would have to be knowledgeable about the history of this country.
The games are typically one sided. The commercials have not been great for many years and a big turn-off since corporations are running and ruining this country.
Don't even know why Taylor got booed other than it was mainly Eagles fans booing. Besides, she was there to enjoy the game, not to get attention and photo op . And she did not go on the field...and she stayed til the end.
And why do you hate her so much? I'm no fan of her music, but, wow, another pathetic angry white male striking out at a very successful woman who isn't a supporter of der Führer. She'll get over the boos from the MAGA morons when she goes back to one of her beautiful homes that she paid for with her own money and reviews her billion dollar stock portfolio that she EARNED.
I'm not a white male, and the second thing is, I do not hate her!
I dislike what she is showing young girls. She is showing them to use her body to get ahead in life.......maybe her advisor's were wrong, she started out as a wholesome kid, and now I'll just say she is no longer that!
I will no longer watch any shows that advocates splitting this country into two! We are one nation, so the Official National Anthem is to be sung, not two!
The crowd booed Taylor Swift... she looked at the lady next to her in disbelief and it was all caught on the jumbotron. They loudly cheered President DJT while he saluted the flag.
I’m not a football fan and didn’t even know who K.dot was but had to YouTube the halftime show I WAS BLOWN AWAY! That guy was speaking truth to power with style, flash and talent. Clearly there is a reason Harvard teaches a class regarding his lyrics. I don’t think TS was booed for political reasons but the fact she has become a symbol for the Chiefs and Eagle fans don’t like it and that’s fair they’re supporting their team. I think she was used as a scapegoat to distract from the fact that the president was booed. I couldn’t help but notice the reference K.dot had on the political front and thought he used his platform to speak truth to power. It was noted that just like the new .gov flag on webpages is a confederate flag with only 9 stars and so was the dance reflection. No wonder Trump turned tail at half time he was publicly humiliated and after being booed himself he couldn’t take the heat
You “didn’t even know who k.dot was” but you know Harvard teaches a class regarding his lyrics. Well if Harvard actually does that it’s just one more nail in Harvard’s coffin.
You have 0 clue about what you are talking about. The president came on the jumbotron and the crowd went nuts. TS was booed and that was also on the big screen along with her astonishment. 1/2 time was awful. Most of the world doesn't care about what 2 infantile rappers are doing. And real actual grown ups are fed up with the progressive left screwing up the country and even football games. Philly D was amazing! Hurd is nothing but a winner! And 77 million are MAGA...& most are pretty smart. Try actually watching a game sometime and thinking for yourself on a rare occasion. :)
For the LIXth year in a row, I came for the game and not the rest of the crap associated with it. I tuned out my LIXth halftime show. Screw that, screw the lame-ass commercials, screw Taylor Swift and the rest of the celebs, and while I'm at it, screw the pretentious Roman numerals.
Who the hell is Kendrick Lamar? All I see in the photo is a ghetto black guy wearing a baseball hat backwards---absolutely puerile. His pants are ill fitting and too long getting shredded on the ground. The rest of the outfit looks like mismatched thriftstore, so I don't get why he is even a topic.
Does he do something useful I am just not seeing? Trucker hauling our food or equipment operator? Is he educated to work? Draftsman? Engineer? Electrician?
Please don't tell me is a..what do they call that chanting stuff, rap?
He is actually a very smart guy who chooses more positive and informing messages in his lyrics. Not a thug and never was. I only learned this prior to the game because of my daughter.
Yes, he's from Compton, so you could call him ghetto. Did you miss Sam Jackson as Uncle Sam echoing your sentiments? He's aware of how it comes off, and it's on purpose. Much of his music is about growing up around violent gangs and the black hole it creates in the culture and people's lives. The show was as much a critique about attitudes like yours as it was anything else: surface judgments without caring to understand where he's come from, what inner city kids like him go through. Kids robbed of the opportunity to live a normal life, going on to perpetuate the cycle.
A bit heavy for a Superbowl halftime show perhaps, but not deserving of the scorn you heap on it.
Not one thing is the comment you criticize is racist or right wing. It’s civilizational. I guess you don’t know any middle class blacks. Probably an AWFL, right?
I enjoyed the halftime show a lot more after I turned off the volume and just watched the choreography. As for the rest of it, mostly I watched the commercials--and didn't pay attention to the rest of it.
"Because the NFL is registered as entertainment, not sport, it is not illegal to fix the games. Want to know who is going to win? Check to see which team winning will move the bottom line of Vegas the most." — rolandttg
Professional athletics market themselves as being ultra competitive affairs with each player giving it their all to bring their team to victory for glory, treasure, & fame. In reality, when pushed, the NFL admitted before the Supreme Court that all of their franchises compete as a unit in the entertainment marketplace with each club and player geared toward maximizing total audience participation and dollars spent. What this means is that - because each team is the league and profits are shared among them - wins and losses are largely irrelevant to their bottom line. The drama among players on and off the field is what sells, and the more provocative the story the more the league members (teams) make. This admission plugs this pantomime theater - legally and literally - squarely into the category of fake professional wrestling.
The narrative is the gold mine. This is why LaBron James is a good guy one minute and a bad guy the next. Like any good professional wrestling script, when the audience needs a hero or a villain, the league will gladly supply one while watching merchandise, ticket sales, and ratings skyrocket. All teams benefit from this and so there is no incentive to win, only an incentive to bend wins, loses, performance, point spreads, and total points scored toward maximizing insider gambling opportunities along with the emotional appeal of the entire counterfeit competitive construct. It’s an all for one and one for all circus performance masquerading around as a genuine tournament.
HAATED the half time show. One dimensional, flat, boring, a big nothing. Do they not realise that there are plenty of people that are not that into Rap? I actually quite like rap, but found this forgettable. They should not be showing stuff that only the fans of him like. How about some music from the Big Easy? Missed opportunity.
What’s so curious to me is how little was said in all of the Substack voices about the actual game. I’m a big, serious football fan. let me tell you, I thoroughly enjoyed that Philly defensive masterpiece. It allowed their offense to shine. Total domination over the #1 team in the NFL takes a lot of strategy and execution. Something that seems to have been lost on most all of you.
They weren’t there to watch football, they were there to make sure Kendrick got good reviews
I was not a fan of half time performance—and I haven’t found anyone I’ve talked to, who was. It’s strange how all comments were positive. I don’t believe that’s a good cross section of the country.

Best comment here
Wasn’t lost on me…. The game was spectacular, watched every minute. Awesome example of Samson and Goliath….
But the 1/2 time show was the worst in history, boring and stupid…. Who would even watch it close enough to notice the ‘secret’ messages
I am not a fan of rap and am unfamiliar with the rap artist but I thought there were many messages subtly layered in his lyrics and found it very moving- paired as it was with the iconic American visuals. Apparently the message was received by at least some of the targets....

Freddie DeBoer wrote about the actual game.
So did I: https://stevefall.substack.com/p/should-we-be-stunned-the-chiefs-lost
Happy for the Eagles but the game sucked. The halftime show sucked. The commercials sucked. Other than that it was great.
Inexplicably bad game prep by KC—they knew what they were up against in the Sirianni/Moore/Fangio coaching combo and the Eagles’ elite players. No way is the loss on Mahomes.
I shared key insights in my newsletter. But please note that the Chiefs were far from the #1 team. https://stevefall.substack.com/p/should-we-be-stunned-the-chiefs-lost
It depends on your metric. Many would have begged to differ.
I know thismuch about football, but I did try to make an effort through ad nauseum questions to those in the know. And I'm Canadian (sorry)
No mention of the courageous protestor among Kendrick Lamar's dancers who, during a song, pulled out the flags of Sudan and Palestine and drew the crowd's attention to SUDAN and GAZA, then ran around displaying the flags until he was tackled, apparently by Secret Service men, who then dragged him away, so that HRH Trump would not be offended over his new real estate.
So a member of the death to America cult of islam is supposed to be a hero ? I say put that sob in Guantanamo! That death cult member like the rest of them has no place in our country period.
Evil you are and Hell you are now living 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
???
What cult are you speaking of?
The protester was American.
5 minutes from now you'll be screaming about how everybody has a right to free speech. 🤦🏽♀️

That was the most worthwhile moment of the evening.
Zion Don aka POFS has had his orders long before his first SELECTION. Good luck to us all.
You got that right.
What do you mean, Rrroman? Back to SSSR much?
Thank you. I have avoided watching the Grand Circus of Jocks for many years now and this is the first I hear of that. I am going to now go look at how, or even IF it has been covered by the oligarch controlled media. I now call commercial sources of information "Pravda"
What a joke, Hamas apologists
Get out of here with that Islamist propaganda bro.
The only tackle worth mentioning in any game - the game of life. Thank you Keith for calling attention to this.
DJT had already left before that!
Kendrick Lamar sucked. So, not anything good for the Super Bowl.
A Pulitzer prize winning artist planned and executed a brilliant performance full of visual metaphor, perfect choreography, next-level staging, political commentary, and cultural references that went far over the heads of the average American who may only be entrenched in the small bubbles of their lives.
It was like watching people walk past a Van Gogh, turn up their noses, and say they prefer a comic book.
We unwashed are supposed to applaud, especially those who dislike us and our unwashed ways.
"A Pulitzer prize winning" ... that has no meaning any more....
Why?
Are you an expert on lyrics and literature? 👀
I would love for you to name one undeserving Pulitzer prize winner from the last 25 years.
“Singing?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So...gossip. Awesome.
The problem wasn't Kendrik, the problem was the sound and camera work for us people watching on TV.
Or the bubbles of various bread and circus psyops .
This ain't the flex u think it is. It's nothing but PR. That's it. Optics isn't Art, and nothing worth saying was said.
??? Nothing worth saying? 👀

Why on earth should we have to know he ‘back story’ of KL?? We want music, not propaganda.
It's only propaganda when the masses don't agree or don't get it.
It would be interesting to know what specific part of his lyrics or performance came across as propaganda...
I keep seeing these walls of text explaining all the lore you need to know in order to appreciate how great the show was, written by people who then say that racism is the reason why it didn't have mass appeal.

So I'm guessing you approve of 2 National Anthems being sung!
I missed most of the Super Bowl. Which two National Anthems did they play, if I may ask? Thanks! :)
@Lou There is only one National anthem. The other is the National Negro Anthem.
I hear he wants to have a love affair with Drake
I wish Lamar had shared the half time with another type of music...
Unfortunately, the NFL in collusion with #47 made this necessary. I wish, more than you might think, that this was not the case.
A bunch of leftists commenting. 🙄
Nothing to see here.
Hey! Who you callin' a leftist?! =j
I am left handed.🤪

Traitor trump got booed
Wrong swift was Booed, not our commander in chief what game were you watching?
You mean the white supremist in chief.
Commander in what?
Hello 👋
Don't even know why Taylor got booed other than it was mainly Eagles fans booing. Besides, she was there to enjoy the game, not to get attention and photo op . And she did not go on the field...and she stayed til the end.
You watch fake fox news
Liverpool vs Manchester City..real football .
DJ…You need glasses or a Budlight
he needs a date with Dylan Mulvaney! Dj with DM , LOL!
You must be a christian racist male
I wear glass and could see clearly. I am not drunk in the kool aid
Wrong, 🤣 Taylor Swift got booed
WRONG!
FOX simply CENSORED the boos...
https://www.newsweek.com/eagles-fans-philadelphia-taylor-swift-2028612 🤣
Boo
Not what I read! Little miss snippy tails got the boo's, and that put a smile on my face. Maybe she can go have a beer with her friend (heels!)
And why do you hate her so much? I'm no fan of her music, but, wow, another pathetic angry white male striking out at a very successful woman who isn't a supporter of der Führer. She'll get over the boos from the MAGA morons when she goes back to one of her beautiful homes that she paid for with her own money and reviews her billion dollar stock portfolio that she EARNED.
Two things right off you text.....
I'm not a white male, and the second thing is, I do not hate her!
I dislike what she is showing young girls. She is showing them to use her body to get ahead in life.......maybe her advisor's were wrong, she started out as a wholesome kid, and now I'll just say she is no longer that!
I will no longer watch any shows that advocates splitting this country into two! We are one nation, so the Official National Anthem is to be sung, not two!
Did he, really!! 👍 I understand Taylor did. 😔
The crowd booed Taylor Swift... she looked at the lady next to her in disbelief and it was all caught on the jumbotron. They loudly cheered President DJT while he saluted the flag.
Taylor S got Booed. she was distraught. Her Black Magic failed her.
I’m not a football fan and didn’t even know who K.dot was but had to YouTube the halftime show I WAS BLOWN AWAY! That guy was speaking truth to power with style, flash and talent.

Wow! Are you kidding me about the confederate flag on the .gov website. Unbefuckinbekievable!
No a simple search proves that wrong
Shelly, that is not true. The flag has NOT been changed. You can use the wayback machine to verify yourself
For the LIXth year in a row, I came for the game and not the rest of the crap associated with it. I tuned out my LIXth halftime show. Screw that, screw the lame-ass commercials, screw Taylor Swift and the rest of the celebs, and while I'm at it, screw the pretentious Roman numerals.
Oh god! I hope the dumpster doesn't make the NFL stop using roman numerals because he is so dumb and doesn't know them.
Imagine making every single thing about Trump.
I know, right? We need a telethon to raise money for a cure for TDS.
Half time sucked
Big time!
Who the hell is Kendrick Lamar? All I see in the photo is a ghetto black guy wearing a baseball hat backwards---absolutely puerile. His pants are ill fitting and too long getting shredded on the ground. The rest of the outfit looks like mismatched thriftstore, so I don't get why he is even a topic.
Does he do something useful I am just not seeing? Trucker hauling our food or equipment operator? Is he educated to work? Draftsman? Engineer? Electrician?

He is actually a very smart guy who chooses more positive and informing messages in his lyrics. Not a thug and never was. I only learned this prior to the game because of my daughter.
Enlighten yourself, if you care.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are you saying music isn't useful or important?
Yes, he's from Compton, so you could call him ghetto. Did you miss Sam Jackson as Uncle Sam echoing your sentiments? He's aware of how it comes off, and it's on purpose. Much of his music is about growing up around violent gangs and the black hole it creates in the culture and people's lives. The show was as much a critique about attitudes like yours as it was anything else: surface judgments without caring to understand where he's come from, what inner city kids like him go through.

Enough with the “right wing”, “leftist” crap you sound pure racist!
Not one thing is the comment you criticize is racist or right wing. It’s civilizational. I guess you don’t know any middle class blacks. Probably an AWFL, right?
I hope it doesn’t keep getting worse including the commercials, really nothing to be watched for years.
I enjoyed the halftime show a lot more after I turned off the volume and just watched the choreography. As for the rest of it, mostly I watched the commercials--and didn't pay attention to the rest of it.
Kendrick Lamar sucked! Worst halftime show that I can remember. The "subtle" messaging was so immature and not well played.
Plus, when you realize how little he is, he loses all credibility.
Don't shoot the messenger. Guess the truth hurts.
A lot of tire puffing by 'pundits' over the halftime (no)show.
Reality check:
"Because the NFL is registered as entertainment, not sport, it is not illegal to fix the games. Want to know who is going to win? Check to see which team winning will move the bottom line of Vegas the most." — rolandttg
Professional athletics market themselves as being ultra competitive affairs with each player giving it their all to bring their team to victory for glory, treasure, & fame. In reality, when pushed, the NFL admitted before the Supreme Court that all of their franchises compete as a unit in the entertainment marketplace with each club and player geared toward maximizing total audience participation and dollars spent. What this means is that - because each team is the league and profits are shared among them - wins and losses are largely irrelevant to their bottom line. The drama among players on and off the field is what sells, and the more provocative the story the more the league members (teams) make. This admission plugs this pantomime theater - legally and literally - squarely into the category of fake professional wrestling.
The narrative is the gold mine. This is why LaBron James is a good guy one minute and a bad guy the next. Like any good professional wrestling script, when the audience needs a hero or a villain, the league will gladly supply one while watching merchandise, ticket sales, and ratings skyrocket. All teams benefit from this and so there is no incentive to win, only an incentive to bend wins, loses, performance, point spreads, and total points scored toward maximizing insider gambling opportunities along with the emotional appeal of the entire counterfeit competitive construct. It’s an all for one and one for all circus performance masquerading around as a genuine tournament.

Now that is interesting
If you don’t like it quit gambling!
HAATED the half time show. One dimensional, flat, boring, a big nothing. Do they not realise that there are plenty of people that are not that into Rap? I actually quite like rap, but found this forgettable. They should not be showing stuff that only the fans of him like. How about some music from the Big Easy? Missed opportunity.
