A bunch of crusty old white dudes not enjoying a contemporary music artist.  Most of the people at my house enjoyed the show. 
 

It was also high level trolling from K.Dot.  He destroyed Drake (again) having Serena crip walking on stage during his set.  Also wearing a “a minor” diamond chain was another high level troll job.  
 

Im just glad someone is finally taking wheel chair jimmy to task.  Garbage artist.  Glad Kendrick exposed him for who he is. 

I'm not a huge music fan. I can count the number or concerts I have gone to in the last decade on one hand.  Listen to talk radio as much, or more than music in the car.  Most of the time I a show on the TV for background noise over playing music in the house. I say all that to say I probably am one of the last people to comment on the quality of the music.

But the rest of what you posted. Trolling.  "Destroying Drake" wearing something as another troll job. Taking someone to task...calling an artist Garbage. That is all the stuff I really really dislike....the fact that it happens and the fact that it is mentioned and talked about. 

I'm not singling the comment made by you out directly, just the overall hype that the pregame shows, the halftime shows, the talk around them get in larger circles, by society in general.

For those who like that drama, fine, its entertainment.  I think it is a large part, a VERY large part of why I fell out of love the the NFL. It used to be my #1 league. Used to watch every bills game, knew the entire rosters...etc, etc.  But the hype, the side shows, the commentators, it just pushed me away.  

As bad as the Sabres are, I enjoy them, and the NHL as a whole a LOT more than the NFL, and its not even close. It used to be the other way around.

Again, that stuff draws more people in and publicity, its making the NFL money.  Just for me, the reason I follow this Sabres team, and like the NHL more than I ever have before, is there is just a lot less of that on the broadcasts.

Did you see Josh's reaction to the kids' video? Thankfully someone filmed it. I sure hope when the sick children see his reaction, it will also be recorded.

It wasn’t for everyone. 

I'm a big fan of rap and hip-hop. I don't have an ear for Kendrick. That said, the 20-somethings in my life were losing their ever loving minds. So - I reckon it wasn't for me.

That was the official fan forum run by the Bills. But that happened a while ago. 17 years of playoff drought made our Team Stormcloud look like the Welcome Wagon by comparison. 😂

We'll get there!

What I don't get and I've been saying this since the Chiefs were beat down by the Bucs. If this is a copycat league why aren't teams loading up on defense, especially the Bills/every team in theChiefs division? It never makes sense to me.

Because N years ago it was "great O and bend-don't-break D". Things move in swings. Everyone will be trying to load on D now, and then some team with a great O will win a few and it'll swing back.

Remember that scene in The Matrix where the guy who's betraying the rebel squad is eating a steak that he knows isn't real? Sometimes it's a bit like that. Not entirely. But a bit.

Lol - not quite?

I didn't know that'd stick in your craw. Sorry, man.

How dare you besmearch Joey Pants with your “that guy” reference!!  Just poking fun.  Although I think he should be in the discussion for best character actor of all time but that might be a slight. He’s great in everything.  Just saw him in Dexter Original Sin.  My favorite role may have been in Memento.

Ralphie on 'The Sopranos' for me. I was bummed they killed off that character so soon.

Such a good scene! He is absolutely brilliant, as you say. I just don't catalog movie information like that - not anymore anyway.

Holy smokes - I do recall The Fugitive role.

The audio on the Fox feed was terrible I literally couldn’t understand one word.

I noticed this as well. I’m also not familiar with a lot of his songs so that didn’t help.  It was a nice touch getting the 70,000 plus fans to scream “a minor” at the requisite time.

Some of the meatier lyrics from Kendrick to Drake:

Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young
You better not ever go to cell block one
To any bitch that talk to him and they in love
Just make sure you hide your lil' sister from him
They tell me Chubbs the only one that get your hand-me-downs
And Party at the party playin' with his nose now
And Baka got a weird case, why is he around?
Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles
*****, *****, *****, *****, *****, Dot, ***** 'em up
*****, *****, *****, *****, *****, I'ma do my stuff
Why you trollin' like a bitch? Ain't you tired?
Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minor

As explained to me by one of my kids: "A minor" can be played on the piano with only white keys. So, in addition to being a reference to Drake's preference for underaged girls, Kendrick is dissing Drake for being far more white than black.

Clever business.

You oughtta experience Halftime with some 80-100 year olds. "I don't like rap." Go on...

Philly fans are brutal. I remember when they were 2-2 after week 4 and the fans and media just crushed them. Fire the coach ! 

Then they finish 16-1 and hoist the Lombardi trophy. 

I guess Ohio St. fans are the same. Lose 4 in a row to Michigan and the lunatic fringe goes nuts. Then they roll over 4 teams in the playoffs to win the title. 

Oh...now everything is cool for at least a month.. LOL

When did the term “Scorebug” become ubiquitous?  I hadn’t heard the term until yesterday and all I saw was folks talking about the scorebug.

Reminds me when we went to see ‘Hamilton’ and the guy behind us exclaimed, “I didn’t know there was gonna be this stupid rap music!” I didn’t know whether to laugh or feel sorry that he would just never get what Miranda was getting at. On the plus side, he had no complaints about black actors playing several founding fathers. Yay progress!

But that wasn't the case from the Bucs until now.
