Pitiful performance from the Chiefs but their performance was better than the halftime show.

Also, why are half time shows just rappers anymore? There is more to music than this crap.

You mean why are halftime shows no longer ignoring that a good percentage of the population likes Hip Hop? If you go back to 2019, and before, the list includes almost no Hip Hop.

It's been fun to watch the reactions from the right wing go from "why is there rap in my Superbowl? That's not music!" to (after watching some of the breakdowns of the message Kendrick was sending) "why is there politics from these black people in my Superbowl? I want Kid Rock or Ted Nugent! They're not political!"

Yeah, Billy Bob...that's hip hop for ya. Yes there's fun "party" songs, but a lot of it - going all the way back to Grandmaster Flash and "The Message" - that's in your face political and social rap. For starters, if you're and old white guy who routinely makes angry posts on the internet about black people, then I hate to break it to you, but you're not in the target demo. And yes, the performance may have upset you, but that's at least partially the point. Hip hop is not always supposed to be safe, family friendly, and easily swallowed by mass audiences. All these white right wingers with their panties in a twist over the show? That just means it hit the intented targets perfectly.

Well, that and Drake...he's probably just as mad as Matt Walsh and Sean Hannity. If not more.
 
I like this take from Tim Miller at The Bulwark (a bunch of never-Trump Republicans):

 
Sorry. That doesn't really help me understand the conflict.

And I like a great deal of hip hop. Mostly old school but hey, I'm old.

What is this thing between Lamar and Drake?

Drake was caught stealing material from Carlos Mencia, but then it turned out Mencia stole it from Carol Burnett. Then it turned out the chick was a dude who had a sled named Rosebud and he was the third man, and it was just a radio production hoax.

Wait...so the dude with the sled was Joe Rogan?

Holy shit.

Meanwhile, there was a game, at least for a quarter or so. Chiefs hatched a diabolical game plan that was apparently designed to put themselves out of their misery as quickly as possible. It worked brilliantly. No rushing attempts, not even any play action passes, virtually no pre-snap motion, just serve Mahomes up on a platter to the best defensive line in the league. An Eagles-Ravens rematch would have been so much more entertaining.

MVP should have been eagles’ defensive line. Four guys pushing past the Chiefs’ five, leaving seven to cover the receivers, of which there were at most five. So, lots of pressure on Mahomes with no one to throw to. Brutal. Sacked him six times (once for a fumble), forced two interceptions, without even a blitz.

Newsradio?

Rogan called out Carlos on stage for being a hack. Literally got up on stage at a show and accused him of stealing jokes. Cardinal sin of stand-up.

Ahhh! Yeah, I only knew there was something involving Mencia and accusations of stealing. Upon further review, I think the owner of the radio station had bought a fake Rosebud (named "Rose Bowl", which involved him (and Rogan's character) going to court.
