Yay Seahawks! Not that I actually care about football but…
Guess they’ll probably have a parade that I will miss, being in CT. Ah well. I wouldn’t have gone anyway.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I enjoyed the game despite it being a bit uneven. Go Seahawks! DH didn't care for the Bad Bunny halftime, but I love dance so it worked for me.
Trying to get MIL to move more. It is challenging.

As far as commercials go I enjoyed the polar bears converting to Pepsi. The Levi's ad made me think of David Schwartz. A few cute ones.

Butts? (That's what I said during that commercial -- "Levi's: just the butts!")

I feel like Pepsi is trying to restart the cola wars.

I've always been on the Pepsi side of that war. It was super fun to see the polar bears!

Levi's has a history of butt-centric ads, it was some other ad that I cannot now recall that had me trying to remember where "BUTTS" as a general comment came from. I could not, so I'm glad y'all reminded me of Knut
There were a lot of appalling or offensive ads but I think the insurance company using Mr Rogers's song felt the most wrong
Consensus in our group of viewers was the "is it cake?" ad was pretty good, the horse and eagle was popular and the rest were meh to bad. I may be forgetting some that were all right but not, I think, many.

Yes, the horse and eagle was mighty cute. All the tech ones were pretty boring. I posted the NYT summary with all the links on FB since most of my family don't watch the game.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I didn't watch the Superbowl but checked the score and was happy to see the Patriots losing. Sorry New England friends.
The Bad Bunny show looked to be more significant cultural event.
Looking out the window I can spy a hummingbird at the top of the tree. But I can't linger, I've got to get to my morning Pilates class.
My niece is coming out to visit this week. Excited to see her.

I don't know Bad Bunny's music at all but that halftime show was fantastic
I started out rooting for the Seahawks by default but was enthusiastic about them before too long. A fun game!

Same, and definitely same. It was delightful!
Also loved Green Day getting to perform American Idiot (and Holiday) before the most American of all sporting events.
