"No one has a shot against Philly's defense."
"No one has a shot against Denver in Denver."

You've been batting pretty close to 1.000 this year, hoping your hot streak continues.

Until it was announced, I'd never heard of the chump. So I question the claims that he was the "most streamed artist" or that his audience is huge.

Come on DB, you can like the guy's music or loathe it, but "I'm closing my eyes so he's invisible" isn't how evidence works. Here, I'll do the 5 seconds of legwork: Spotify official announcement that Bad Bunny was their #1 artist in the world for 2025. What's more, he's not only on the Latin music charts. He had a #1 hit with Cardi B that was absolutely inescapable some years back if you listened to the radio.

So yes, his audience is indeed huge. And if it's not the audience that typically follows NFL football, I'm guessing that's exactly the point.

Football fans will watch the Superbowl because it's the game of the year. The point of the halftime show is to rope in viewers who aren't fans, to make sure this is the top ad-sales event of the year and, hopefully, to lure in new fans who get caught up in the game between ads and musical acts. Young people, women, foreign audience, the NFL wants you! Gray-haired American men, the NFL loves you but isn't going to waste its energy attracting you. You're already in the bag.

It's a team game. Eagles didn't lose because Owens didn't perform. He had a damn good game, just not enough to carry the rest of the team.

All during SB week and the game Philly fans chanted TO.

Owens had 1200 yards and 14 TDs back then which was Beast mode. The Pat's shut him down. Cancelled

Terrell Owens Super Bowl Stats | StatMuse

Terrell Owens had 9 catches for 122 yards in 1 game in Super Bowls in his career.

Owens was the only reason Philly was even in that game. The alternative facts never stop with you.

And yet, reports are coming out from the Owners and players (41%) had voiced that they feel that Bad Bunny was a bad choice and doesn't represent the NFL.

Your ending comments about Kid Rock and the people who listen to him are especially pathetic and should have been kept to yourself.

You do realize that the US isn't the only population that listens to music, right?

It would have been pretty funny to see those numbers for Coldplay!

Sorry, PC, but Spotify's "ratings'" are easily manipulated. As are all "online rating" system. Claiming his audience is huge based on that is ridiculous. Just like it was ridiculous when the same sort of crap was said about Taylor Swift, Beyonce' and numerous other "artists".

It doesn't change the fact that I'd never heard of him prior to the announcement. Since then, the bit of research I've done puts him squarely in the "Garbage artist not worth listening to" category. If people can't be bothered to do their own research and see that the guy is a POS in the same category as Ray Lewis, that's on them.

Sorry, but it's pure BS to think that the guy is going to draw anyone to the game. He's not. Especially not when he craps all over the US in general.

OK, so Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are all unpopular. Gotcha, I’m not even going to tackle that one.

I barely know who Bad Bunny is. Couldn’t name a single song. You don’t know what you’re talking about if you say he isn’t popular. Do 2 seconds of research.

Manning has a likeable personality, Brady does not.

I’ll take six Super Bowls with a QB who some supposedly think isn’t a nice person than two Super Bowls with a QB who is nice.

I could care less about Trump and it's beneath you to bring up his crap in the conversation.

@patfanken brings up Trump or antisemitism or any other far left political comment all the time. @Ian had to delete Ken's political commentary yesterday or the day before because Ken has some weird uncontrollable anger thing that leads him to post repeated political comments in the main forum. From time to time, @patfanken apologizes for his repeated far left political outbursts, but it is so tiring for an older guy that his apologizes can no longer be believed.

Not what was said or even remotely close.

You also should have looked to at how Spotify actually does their "ranking". It's ridiculously subjective.

- More weight given to consistent engagement over time?
- based on how many songs, not just total time
- Artists who have frequent releases
- Cultural Impact?

Those are all subjective measures that can be easily Manipulated by Bot farms.

Exactly. A 2 second google search showed his last North American tour grossed over $200m. Obviously some people enjoy his music and attend his shows. The NFL doesn’t care about guys like me over 40. They already got me. It’s the younger crowd they are going for.
