Up with People slander.

I have a former co-worker who performed at the '86 show. He is REALLY involved in the Up With People alumni association. He is exactly the type of guy you would expect to be in Up With People and REALLY involved in the alumni association too.

I knew of someone that dropped out of college to join Up With People but I also saw him passed out against a wall with his braces stuck in the plaster of said wall

New Kids on the Block in '91 was the first big show. They were bigger than anyone at the time. It was somewhat overshadowed by Whitney Houston's national anthem however.

Anyway, Up With People did three Super Bowls between 1976 and 1986. I have no idea who Big Bunny is, but I would much rather watch him than Up With People.

Seriously, check out Bad Bunny. He's good!

It's unamerican to allow a foreigner to perform the Super Bowl halftime show.

Also, why the band Foreigner has not played the halftime show. Although, somehow they snuck by and did the National Anthem in 2014.

[Billy Hoyle]

Just did a Google search and discovered the halftime shows were basically a nothing burger until Michael Jackson in 93

and that's because in 1992 "In Living Color" did a live halftime special (Men On Football) that drew a reported 20 million viewers. So the next year we got MJ and the rest is history.  Even the NFL acknowledges that was a game changer: https://www.nfl.com/100/originals/100-greatest/game-changers-73

I could do without a 45 minute break in the football game, personally.

Of course. But that ship sailed a long time ago.

Purple Rain in the rain cannot be topped.

I saw a video about it once and he was wearing some shoes with heels and the stage was crazy slippery, but he still wanted to do it that way.

He was one of the all-time greats. Arguably the most talented ever in music. (no offense to the Vanilla Ice fans)

That's about how long it takes the old guys getting mad at the current halftime show to piss due to their enlarged prostate. It's a very calculated methodology

So, 4 weeks in, who will be actually playing football around the Bad Bunny concert?

Not the Packers.

Eagles and Bills.

[Jockey]

Shadeur continues to show why nobody wanted him. Teams that were utterly in need of a QB said No, thanks".

The Browns continue to show why they are a loser organization.

[The Sultan]

Eh, a fifth round pick for Sanders is pretty low risk. Cutting him isn't that big of a loss if that what it came to.

[Uncle Rico]

At this moment, Eagles and Bills.  I don't think that will be true by the new year.  Who will pass them?  No clue

[BM1090]

Immature response, but Gabriel is going to be terrible

True. It would be no loss at all.

Wouldn't know, boycotting from here on out

[Uncle Rico]

The league won't have anyone left to watch with all the woke they keep ramming down our throats

[MU82]

Wouldn't know, boycotting from here on out

This woke crapola is why absolutely nobody watches the NFL anymore, especially the Super Bowl.

[tower912]

Go in the bag for the Chiefs.  Arrange to have the big wedding at halftime with Bad Bunny singing and performing the ceremony.

[Uncle Rico]

This is a pretty interesting read about the Packers and special teams.  I don't full absolve Rich Bisaccia but the Packers organization is a decade into basically ignoring this component

https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/analysis/71913/green-bay-packers-special-teams-returners-analysis

It's wild, considering one of their Super Bowl victories was cemented by having one of the best special teams in history

[The Sultan]

Yep. Shawn Slocum, Ron Zook, Maurice Drayton, etc. The common problem is that the Packers are a very young team who trots out these guys for special teams like it isn't that big of a deal.

What's crazy is that we all knew Dayton would cost a game down the stretch, it was a matter of how. Similar vibes this year but it's week 5

That's why Marquette was dumb to schedule a home and home
