    Forty minutes to the first play?

    Too much noise and racket and not enough football.

    Always without sound, tho sometimes on college ball I will watch broadcast without sound and turn on local radio to hear the local guys do the play-by-play

    This ain’t the Brady Bunch. Ay Dios mio.

    Seattle quarterback Darnold makes the other guy look darn young.

    Seattle field goaler Jason Myers would be the first MVP at that position if he can keep it up (and between the sticks), and if other Seahawks get set aside. QB seems more likely, but that would be darn conventional.

    Despair over hyper commercialization of Super Bowls might be better directed at college football following the same path.

    Halftime show was mostly performed in Spanish; another first. I’d say having it so while parts of US are mired in ICE shows national greatness. It’s a bit like 1936 Summer Olympics opening ceremony featuring a Klezmer band.

    ROTLMAO!

    A Seattle player caught the ball and hit from behind, shot over the line of scrimmage.

    Both teams are excellent players but Seattle makes fewer screw-ups. It ain't over until it is over but 19-0 is pretty definitive.

    New England got a TD, good.

    Have never been a hard American big three fan (American football, baseball, or basketball. Hockey either, but respect how rough it is). Motorsports fan with few exceptions. WRC and MotoGP do much better keeping me falling asleep.
