The Big Game is today. Who's gonna win? I'm betting on the Patriots but Atlanta looked good in the NFC Championship game.

Beware of Dog
Grudgingly rooting for Atlanta, because I'm sick to death of the Cheatriots. But not forgetting that Atlanta needed a corrupt referee's help to beat the Seahawks.....

I'm putting a bet on Atlanta...
Got 27/20 odds.
Motherfucker I should have put more on.
I can cash out at evens already.
The only thing less convincing than her miming singing is her miming Keetar...
I didn't watch the half time show. I can't stand that chick or Transginger or whatever she is.
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
It always seemed logical that the reformed Van Halen would do it at some point but I think one of the reasons that will never happen is it's all about the demographics the priority is getting women and younger people not middle aged white guys who are already watching anyway.
Amazing. Who gives a rat's ass about the NFL anymore? Did Lady Goo Goo have male dancers in Trump wigs give her a massive golden shower?
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
The KGB have the footage already.
Goddamn it.... now that Trumpsucking cheating fuck gets to gloat for another year.
For someone whose knowledge about American Football is mainly based on Madden Playstaion games, the only consolation is I'm feeling pretty fucking smug about cashing out on my bet at better than evens early in the 4th quarter when I got a bad feeling about Atlanta choking.

Good move. I almost bet on this game myself. Now I'm glad I didn't.
Unfortunately not a life changing amount.
What the fuck were Atlanta playing at? Usually the shitty thing about American football is that it is so easy to kill a game when you are ahead, fucking morons.
Wow look at all the old rich white men here tonight!
To a non US person very odd that it's the owner that picks up the trophy rather than the team that won it...
It's like he first half and second half were two completely different games. And the first half was definitely better. Maybe we could blame it on Lady Gaga?
I feel like I had a bet on Apollo Creed but cashed it in during the final round.
You can do it on online betting forums. Even better is that you can just do part of your stake.
Say you back a team $10 to win who are 2-1 against. If they are winning at halftime you can just cash out your original stake $10 for say $14 of your potential winnings and still leave the other $6 on and walk away with with $16 at the end if they win rather than the $20 you would have got if you had just left it alone.
Betting now is basically just a marketplace where the online company allows people to trade bets with each other so you can be a bookie yourself.
It's still a bit of a dumb thing to get into but there are certain bets IMHO that a worth a go because people will make the odds different than they should be.
In this case my guess was that the Patriots being far more well known and previous winners 4 times would slant the market to make them have better odds than they should because of the casual gambler. I was proved right and then was able to bail out in time and double my money.
I'm no expert in this I only do every so often and although I'm up, it's not by much.
Sport is really unpredictable, proved again tonight in the 4th quarter.
My golden rule is when I gamble I assume I've lost already, I have enough vices without getting too deep into it.

Ever since that horrible performance by Roger Daltrey & Pete Townsend (fraudulently billing themselves as "The Who") there hasn't been any live bands performing at the Super Bowl. Which is too bad, because there was a fairly solid decade of performances before that. So instead you get these pop singers like Katy Perry, Beyonce, or Lady Gaga, who most probably weren't even actually singing. Not to say there weren't entertaining aspects to their performances, but with no actual live singing or musicians involved, there's less chance that the NFL and/or Pepsi (or whomever sponsors halftime that year) is accused of putting on a "bad" show.
If they were still booking live bands, I'm sure Van Halen would have been chosen sometime between 2007 and now.
Watching that tonight the thing that went through my head was 'This isn't anything to do with music at all'.
I guess that's ok but sell it honestly.
Next year put on Cirque Du Soleil or the cast of Hamilton or fucking David Copperfield.
It's not been about music since Prince and incredibly that's 10 years ago already.
Didn't watch any of the game. Watched the halftime show on YouTube this morning.
It's cheaper to do it my way.

I don't think she was lip syncing.
I still can't understand why in the fuck any VH fan would want them to go out there and embarrass themselves on the biggest stage. If anybody would need to lip sync, it would be Dave.
I saw Mrs ed's tweet and thought please no and fuck she hates Dave.
fuck your fucking framing
The Super Bowl has degraded into a popular culture political promoting rape den. It used to be a game. Then clever ads got attention and people watched the ads. The halftime show used to be the best marching bands doing elaborate marches on the field and they would film it from the blimp flying overhead. Then the half time show became a cookie cutter Disney whore predictable junk grab. Now they are putting political innuendo in the ads and halftime show. Now they no longer want to entertain you and make money off you. They want to politically persuade you. It's become a true idiot fest.
Watch it on BBC, no commercials.
Van Halen are just a bunch of old men. They were a high energy act and old guys look stupid trying to do it. Yeah it's nice to see Ed still has the guitar skills but that's about it. It's a guitar legend playing with his fat son on stage with old Uncle Al and crazy Dave who looks like some crazy old sailor up there but his voice is gone. At least he's keeping his old wrinkly butt covered these days.
I don't think she was lip syncing either, but I think she had a backing voice track but was singing along with it (most of the time)...
Just saying
I call bullshit on your entire post. By your logic The Ramones were a fraudulent band after Marky quit, legit after he came back and fraudulent again when Dee Dee left the band. If John Entwhistle was OK with The Who continuing on as The Who after Moon died I'm sure he would have been cool with Pete and Roger continuing to tour and record as The Who. Here's their Superbowl performance. I thought it was pretty good.
I usually feel that way about regular season football and baseball but once the playoffs start I start watching games. Don't feel the same about auto racing because of the deadly nature of it if you fuck up. Even if you don't fuck up there's a chance you'll die every time you race.
There was one I liked before the game began but I don't remember exactly what it was about. It had a bunch of famous people in it. I don't know about you but I was glad politics didn't degrade the game in any way.
The one with Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart produced a few giggles.
