Super Bowl thread: any favorite halftime shows?*

How quickly consensus opinion formed on the halftime show

Posted by Potomac <iframe src='https://members.boardhost.com/onedeuce/info/user=Potomac' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on February 9, 2026, 15:02:04, in reply to "Super Bowl thread: any favorite halftime shows?*"

From a politician. I have read a bunch today about what a wonderful message he delivered, how much Trump stinks in contrast, etc., and rarely anything about whether the entertainment was good. Yes, I know Puerto Ricans and Spanish speakers are Americans. To say his show was more American than American predecessors in the halftime show isn't very nice. Very passionate.

I watched Bad Bunny deliver the most American halftime show I have ever seen. Then I came home and watched it again. And I am not okay. In the best possible way.

He sang every single word in Spanish. Every. Single. Word. He danced through sugarcane fields built on a football field in California while the President of the United States sat somewhere calling it “disgusting.” Lady Gaga came out and did the salsa. Ricky Martin lit up the night. A couple got married on the field. He handed his Grammy, the one he won eight days ago for Album of the Year, to a little boy who looked up at him the way every child looks up when they dare to believe the world has a place for them.

And then this man, this son of a truck driver and a schoolteacher from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, stood on the biggest stage on the planet and said “God bless America.”

And then he started naming them.

Chile. Argentina. Uruguay. Paraguay. Bolivia. Peru. Ecuador. Brazil. Colombia. Venezuela. Panama. Costa Rica. Nicaragua. Honduras. El Salvador. Guatemala. Mexico. Cuba. Dominican Republic. Jamaica. The United States. Canada. And then, his voice breaking with everything he carries, “Mi patria, Puerto Rico. Seguimos aquí.” My homeland, Puerto Rico. We are still here.

The flags came. Every single one of them. Carried across that field by dancers and musicians while the jumbotron lit up with the only words that mattered: “THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.”

I teared up. I’m not ashamed to say it. I sat on my couch and I wept because THAT is the America I believe in. That is the American story, not the sanitized, gated, English-only version that small and frightened people try to sell us. The REAL one. The messy, beautiful, multilingual, multicolored, courageous one. The one that has always been built by hands that speak every language and pray in every tongue and come from every corner of this hemisphere.

That is the America I want Jack and Charlotte to know. That when the moment came, when the whole world was watching, a Puerto Rican kid who grew up to become the most-streamed artist on Earth stood in front of 100 million people, sang in his mother’s language, blessed every nation in the Americas, and spiked a football that read “Together, we are America” into the ground. Not with anger. With joy. With love so big it made hate look exactly as small as it is.

…

Bad Bunny didn’t say “ICE out” tonight. He didn’t need to. He just showed the whole world what America looks like when we are not afraid of each other. When culture is shared, not policed. When language is music, not a threat. When a flag from every nation in this hemisphere can walk across a football field together and the only words you need are the ones he gave us:

The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

The DNC has an email list that circulates talking points for this kind of stuff...

none of these "thoughts" are original or their own.

And of course it's nonsense. I speak Spanish and Portuguese (poorly, but nonetheless) and like lots of the cultures of the Americas. That doesn't mean I want open borders.

And - newsflash - the other nations of the Americas don't want open borders either. Costa Rica doesn't want unlimited immigration from Nicaragua, the DR doesn't want unlimited immigration from Haiti, etc., etc.

Super Bowl advertiser Hims and Hers sued by Novo Nordisk

WSJ:

Wegovy and Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk filed a lawsuit against Hims & Hers as it seeks a ban on the telehealth provider offering copycat versions of the Danish drugmaker’s weight-loss and obesity medications.

The move comes after Novo Nordisk warned that its sales were being eroded by knockoff versions of its drugs produced by compounding pharmacies.

The company is somewhat controversial in its claims. I think this was the ad, with its anti-rich theme.

Late last year, I asked my PCP for a testosterone blood test.

Out of idle curiosity, more than anything. I hear all the ads about men losing so much of their testosterone after age 40 and needing to supplement and revitalize it. We've discussed that here before.

we all were saying that it was piped in - but then he sang into the mic live, but just for certain lyrics. That was my impression.

My guess is he's too old now to be jumping around like he used to WHILE singing - like he did before. I always wondered how any singers did that anyway..you'd be too out of breath?? All I know is his show 11 or so years ago was fantastic.

Vince Neil didn't sing almost at all when on that cruise 9 years ago, literally held the mic out for the crowd the entire set!

As mentioned before, got to spend a night in conversation and drinks with "just call me Bob " (as I refer to him

22 or 23 years ago when he was pretty much at the height of his fame (maybe a tad past), and he was very nice to everyone..bought the entire place any food or drink they wanted for hours..just told the club to charge it all to him..but he was down to earth to talk to, and barely drank.

Ordered an Apple Pucker and I said "you gotta be kidding me?" What about the 'shots of Jack' from your songs, is that all just for show? He said "pretty much"

I think it was Ace who said he was an asshole, but that wasn't my experience at all, and I've met a crapton of these rock dudes. Maybe I just caught him on a good night..whatever, still a fun highlight reel memory for my deathbed.

but I don’t listen to lyrics, understand about men lusting after 16yos (just not my daughters, grandpa, if you don’t want a gun up your ass), and if I’m picking one pervert over another give me the one who opposes trans normalization and speaks English. Kinda like why I voted for Trump.

Not sure if that falls under the definition of "entertainment" but it sure is memorable.
