It’s interesting what people focused on.

I enjoyed the heck out of the show, and I didn’t understand many words. But joy, love, and happiness transcend language. I loved the little details in the show: the wedding celebration, the little boy in the barber shop, the proposal, the lady in the shop giving BB a treat from her shop, the parade of flags, and more. It was a unique and festive show that introduced Americans to their often misunderstood fellow Americans. We need more understanding these days. So, this 66 year-old man was entertained.

OOOOOKAY! I thought the game was in Miami for a sec. Did anyone out there
Coach McGuirk • 02/08/26 08:35 PM ET
NFL games next year in Brazil and Mexico City. Latin America is the future
Va AandM • 02/09/26 06:22 AM ET
Just like Janet Jackson...**

Apparently the lady that gave him the drink runs one of the most popular...
Gobbler-100 • 02/09/26 01:54 AM ET
My conspiracy theory is that that couple actually got married during
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:33 PM ET
Not sure how legit, but I read that it WAS actually a real marriage
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/08/26 11:48 PM ET
Ha! They seemed genuinely excited and not to be in the show.**
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:53 PM ET
Haven't watched a nanosecond of LX -------->**
PhotoHokieNC • 02/08/26 09:01 PM ET
It's on but not watching**
TomTurkey • 02/08/26 09:04 PM ET
The game was pretty boring FWIW. **
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:34 PM ET
Glad I missed it. Watched the TPUSA All American Halftime Show instead **
VT72 • 02/08/26 08:55 PM ET
Lolol **
Gobbler-100 • 02/09/26 01:37 AM ET
Sorry for the punishment you put on yourself**
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:27 PM ET
So did we. The SB halftime shows have become unbearable to watch.**
GSOHokie01 • 02/08/26 10:33 PM ET
And Kid Rock badly lip syncing a song from 25 years ago wasn't unbearable?**
ModerateHokie • 02/09/26 07:54 AM ET
Yeah …
OXVT • 02/09/26 01:12 PM ET
Lol**
OXVT • 02/08/26 10:48 PM ET
lol **
OXVT • 02/08/26 10:18 PM ET
I thought it was great… superb half time show**
HOaKIE • 02/08/26 08:54 PM ET
The set was insanely good. The people who were bushes though?
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:28 PM ET
Very entertaining show. Didn't understand a word.
Beerman • 02/08/26 10:52 PM ET
Do you mind telling me why? I have a few questions. Are you fluent in
Coach McGuirk • 02/08/26 09:03 PM ET
Fwiw, same things people said about Elvis, Michael Jackson, etc.
Gobbler-100 • 02/09/26 01:53 AM ET
I love that you think this was a first time thing
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:29 PM ET
I think you're forgetting that we have many generations here on TSL
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/08/26 11:53 PM ET
I must be the only one who wants MORE sexuality in my SB halftime shows**
Baltimore Hokie • 02/09/26 06:33 PM ET
Thank you. Yes, it is true - the Keys have a long history of acceptance.
Coach McGuirk • 02/09/26 06:57 AM ET
Have you missed the last 15 hlf time performances? Lol**
UTPr0sim • 02/08/26 10:30 PM ET
I've missed most of them, why? Oh, I guess I should add "lol" for some kind
Coach McGuirk • 02/08/26 10:40 PM ET
Choreography was superb. Just a lot of fun. **
HOaKIE • 02/08/26 10:05 PM ET
The fact that Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba and Cardi B were BACKGROUND
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:31 PM ET
I definitely liked the creativity in the sets
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/08/26 10:10 PM ET
You described just about every halftime show of the past decade
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/08/26 09:11 PM ET
Its all politics nothing more**
HokieJamie • 02/08/26 09:38 PM ET
He's literally the most streamed artist in the world.**
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:37 PM ET
Marketing <> music. **
MCL3 Hokie • 02/09/26 09:58 AM ET
For sure. This is why I am trying to calmly have a conversation about it.
Coach McGuirk • 02/08/26 09:21 PM ET
Get off my lawn. This years was very mild compared to some and no wardrobe
UTPr0sim • 02/08/26 11:52 PM ET
I think that sexuality ship has sailed
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/08/26 09:26 PM ET
I agree that the hoopla is over ICE, etc. It is sad the stuff I am
Coach McGuirk • 02/08/26 09:30 PM ET
Hey Coach, you may find this a little wryly amusing, in an ironic sense
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/08/26 10:59 PM ET
I thought the Post shut down their sports section **
OrlandoHokie • 02/09/26 04:17 AM ET
Wryly amusing. Yes, that's appropriate. Then slowly shaking my head.
Coach McGuirk • 02/08/26 11:12 PM ET
Here’s the really ironic thing to me
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/09/26 12:50 AM ET
Honestly, I was much more troubled by the first commercial at 6:30
6GHokie • 02/08/26 09:41 PM ET
That really rankled me…
Newt • 02/08/26 11:41 PM ET
It's been a problem for years. Some rule was struck down and they play
hoosnowahokie • 02/09/26 12:07 AM ET
Ironic thing is that Kid Rock isn’t any more appropriate
Nova Hokie 95 • 02/08/26 09:38 PM ET
Gave it a Boomer meh. Was music in the background, as is the game wo music.
TomTurkey • 02/08/26 09:17 PM ET
💥💥💥💥**
astrohokie • 02/08/26 09:07 PM ET
As a follow-up question, do you mind sharing what company ran that ad?
MP4VT2004 • 02/08/26 08:53 PM ET
The halftime show? It was sponsored by Apple Music.**
Gobbler-100 • 02/09/26 01:47 AM ET
🤮😖**
astrohokie • 02/08/26 08:50 PM ET
I'm glad I missed whatever you are referring to, Coach.**
MP4VT2004 • 02/08/26 08:36 PM ET
I am in awe at how stupid that was. And it was for adults only. I guess
Coach McGuirk • 02/08/26 08:40 PM ET
Our society has gone over the precipice, IMO.**
MP4VT2004 • 02/08/26 08:45 PM ET
It's not ours that has, it's theirs.**
PhotoHokieNC • 02/08/26 09:04 PM ET
Excellent caveat. You're spot on.**
MP4VT2004 • 02/08/26 09:05 PM ET
If you are worried about the kids, check ol Kid Rocks lyrics
hoosnowahokie • 02/08/26 11:26 PM ET
Kid Rock certainly does love kids 👀**
Gobbler-100 • 02/09/26 01:46 AM ET
Are you suggesting Kid Rock has wholesome lyrics?
MP4VT2004 • 02/09/26 01:43 AM ET
The guy is fond of the straw man argument. Almost has it as a reflex.**
