wilkie 1,518 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Not many. Somebody gets ahead early and all the hype flies out the window. Superbowl 11 was a good one but most of them are one sided. Nobody remembers who lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Superbowl 54, where the chiefs defeated the 49ers was a good one DefensiveMan, oldtimer and mex 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamixoye 604 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 12 of the last 20 have been one-score games. Not all great games necessarily, but we've moved past the 80s and 90s when there were more blowouts (4 out of 20 were one-score games). jetlord and Mloe68 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I guess it depends on which team you support. If the team you root for wins, that SB didn't suck. qnet, oldtimer and Mloe68 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was semi close but maybe the worst Super Bowl ever. DieHard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, a lot of the socialites that helped turn the Super Bowl into a place to be seen instead of a football game to be watched/attended. Those socialites who priced people like me out of ever seeing a Super Bowl live. 14k for tickets, hotel and flight. Fucking ridiculous. Same type of idiots who watch just for the commercials.

Balto 723 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I’m just happy this is the first SP I don’t respond with, “I just hope it’s a good game and good commercials”. When asked who I’m rooting for. Chiefsfan1963 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calichief 3,016 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Best halftime show was the one that didn’t happen a few years ago.. “too heavy for halftime” Metallica was supposed to headline. Nfl booted them for Coldplay.... so they threw a concert the night before, and I went. xen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen 2 people that went to the toilet during the game so they wouldn't miss Beyonce at halftime, as if she was coming out at the whistle. NFL is trying to get as many people as they can to watch for more money but their notion of SB isn't the big game but rather a whole night of entertainment with the game making up some part of it.

NFL is trying to get as many people as they can to watch for more money but their notion of SB isn't the big game but rather a whole night of entertainment with the game making up some part of it. I’ve read a story that in the early 90s as the Super Bowl game itself had become by far the most watched event in America. television with a staggering 100 million plus viewers, halftime had become a bastion for counter programming because of a lame halftime. In 1992 In Living Colour actually siphoned off almost 30 million of those viewers to Fox at halftime. This is when the NFL went all in trying to grab the Worlds biggest acts. After all advertisers weren’t gonna pay premiums around halftime if people were changing the channel. And it worked big time too. But I think as the NFL has started to try and capture a younger demographic with the shows, you’ve seen the overall quality drop. That said you are absolutely right they need compelling programming besides the game itself to fully maximize advertising dollars in a 4 hour window. Again it goes back to the conference championship games being the pinnacle of the season for true football fans. This is a much more broad watered down audience. sith13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, conference championships seem to be the peak of the year. Right now it's impossible to find tickets to the SB at a reasonable price and have to go through way too much non-football programming to actually watch it. Definitely not worth dedicating so much time if you are not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkie 1,518 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 THe In Living Color halftime show featured Damon Wayans and Jim Carrey as Fire Marshal Bill. It was hilarious. I think Pepsi is the main sponsor of the halftime. At Super Bowl parties I have attended all the men go out in the kitchen during halftime and the women watch the show so there are some people who think its entertaining. 20 years or so ago Coca Cola had a Las Vegas Review with a fake Elvis for halftime. They said it would be broadcast in 3D and when you went to the grocery store you could pick up your 3D glasses. Obviously it didn't work and simply changed the screen image to red and green. That was about the same time as they came out with New Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Rarely have I cared much so I honestly don’t even remember many of the games. I watch them, but they really have no lasting impact in 6 months save maybe remembering who won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
