I thought the old bud light ads made sure the Super Bowl was not agreeable to parents prone to covering their kids‘ eyes.
I'd rather have those Bud Light ads than the ones from Nationwide that, when paraphrased, said "Insure with us or your kids die."

Yeah. The NFL would be WAY more fun to watch without a salary cap where 4 teams were allowed to amass SO much talent that no other team could typically remain within 30 points of them on any given Sunday. Then we can just let those 4 duke it out every year.

Exciting.
Uhhh, when has the NFL suffered from its dynasties?  The 70s was the Steelers/Raiders winner vs Dallas half the time.  The 49ers in the 80s, Dallas in the 90s and then the Pats with Brady. 
The NFL and its fans love dynasties or love to hate them.  It's historically been a lot like the playoff era of college football. 
Gee whiz, I wonder if that's a coincidence?!?

It's all about coaching, management, and maximizing the talent you can acquire. 

That's what the draft, free agency, and salary cap are about. It's to ensure that even if you don't have parity of coaching or management, every team has access to talent. If you suck badly enough, like Jacksonville, you get access to the equivalent of the "5* QB" with the first draft pick and Trevor Lawrence. 

Whereas CFB is all about using your shiny helmet to snag all the talent that exists and so the value of coaching only matters for about 10 teams out of 130. 120 of those teams will never have access to the 5* QB.

That Sharika show was something.
anything with Shakira is something. I can't stand her voice or her music, but I've seen a lot of videos/performances she's done on mute. She is one of the best looking women of all-time if you ask me lol.

Any discussion of Super Bowl halftime shows begin with U2 and end with Prince. Then it's a long way back to anyone else.
disagree with you on U2. Definitely agree with you on Prince. Actually forgot about that one. I'd vote that as the best ever. By far.

U2 was amazing. Prince was better. The best, in fact.
This.

I'm surprised to hear you say that... She's only Colombian, not Brazilian!

You mean the NFL had dynasties in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s- when there was no free agency or hard salary cap. That was the entire point of introducing a hard salary cap and free agency in 1994. Dallas was the last dynasty of the old NFL and once the cap kicked in and free agency kicked in, Dallas wasn't able to maintain. They won exactly 1 more Super Bowl, in 1995, after the cap and free agency kicked in. And it wasn't exactly like Aikman, Emmitt, and Michael were old in 1996. They were still relatively young, in their prime players. Now Jimmy leaving had a lot to do with the fall off, but it's all the other guys they lost in free agency that they weren't able to just keep because of the cap restrictions and other teams over-paying for key contributing starters on a great team as is the norm now.

The Brady/Belichick Pats dynasty of the 2000s and 2010s is a complete anomaly that we didn't even see the likes of in the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s- and it featured maybe the greatest athlete ever (Brady) and maybe the greatest coach ever (Belichik) and stretched 9 Super Bowl trips and 6 Super Bowl wins over 20 seasons. We never saw that before and we're never going to see that again. Using that as an example is probably a bad idea.

I might like Colombians more than Brazilians lol. Venezuelans and Argentinians look great too. South America has maybe the hottest women in the entire world. I believe a worldwide survey/poll actually named Colombian women as the best looking women in the world. Don't quote me on that though. That Sofia Vergara is something else.

It's funny that Sofia Vergara wasnt mainstream until like 10-12 years after she was all over those Maxim-type magazines.  Maybe she was learning English or something, but she wasn't widely known until after her peak years.

I knew about her back then :)

And yeah, you're right she wasn't hugely popular or well known until after her peak years, but even then she was SMOKING hot. Chick looks better in her 40's than most women in their 20's do lol.

Good for 49ers fans projected to take over Sofi Stadium like they did all Red against the Rams in Week 18. The Rams, Chargers, and Raiders did this to themselves by seeking greener grass in sexier cities and hoping tickets would only sell to synthetically forced home fans. Hopefully Niners fans vape the place out.

Speaking of Vaping, nothing shouts “I vape” more than Kyle Shanahan constantly wearing his flat brims on the sideline:

I do think LA needs a team.  I would have been fine with it being the Rams (although I would have preferred the Jaguars).

It was everything beyond that which was dumb.  Why did you move a 2nd team?  Why did you move a team with actual fan following to Vegas?

If they had just moved the Jags to LA and Chargers to Vegas, I'd get that

Jaguars need to move and change their logo and uniforms.
