    Commercials with about 10 min of actual football being played. It’s honestly insane how little actual football you end up watching

      And there’s ads in the actual football too. I didn’t watch it. How many gambling ads were there?

        I didn’t watch it. First time in a decade actually. The NFL has always been a horrible organization with literally the worst people humanity has to offer running it. But I’ve made a personal decision to cut back on unhealthy activities that only fuel greed and capitalism. So instead my family made dinner, played board games, and just talked instead of watching the game. Kinda the same thing we do every year but instead of the focus being on the game that only serves the top 1%, the focus was on each other.

      Do people produce cut down versions of games showing the plays only and post them anywhere?

      If so can anyone direct me to some must watch games?

        I’m pretty sure the NFL releases a game highlight video right after.

      Kendrick Lamar is, Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce (tight end for the Chiefs).

      And as someone pointed out earlier since I’m skipping the Superbowl itself for the first time ever, it may be worth it to watch the halftime show. Kendrick Lamar has… Not been shy about his feelings regarding Trump.

      For a fun reference, here’s part of one of his songs from 2017:

      Donald Trump is a chump, know how we feel, punk Tell ‘em that God comin’ And Russia need a replay button, y’all up to somethin’

      Later that year he also talked about how just singing about it wasn’t enough for him, and how he started supporting organizations battling Trump.

      So halftime might be really fun to watch!

        Yeah I’m not really a big Kendrick fan like I used to be but I’m going to be disappointed if he “just” performs and doesn’t use one of the largest platforms possible to say something about all the crazy shit that’s been happening.

            I mean, probably, but Elon needs the presidential pardon to avoid prosecution of all the shot he’s doing, bypassing congress and all that.

            I guess that that’s Trumps card against him.
