Turns out companies don't care about nationalistic priorities, they care about money.

Bad Bunny is a big name worldwide that they hope will draw in viewers.

Funny how capitalism becomes a problem for some when it's not draped in the red, white, and blue.

They should get these foreigners to help foot the bill for these new stadiums. They want to make Americans pay taxes for their new stadiums all the while pandering to everyone else not an American.

I cannot imagine soccer fans in England taking a liking to a musician singing in German at their biggest games.

is it just me or does the matchup seriously favor NE’s defense?

- Seattle relies heavily on the run game; NE has an elite run defense
- Seattle mainly just has one elite WR; NE has an elite shutdown corner
- Seattle otherwise has pretty average WRs whereas NE’s CB2 and 3 are very good
- Seattle’s QB is a pocket passer who isn’t mobile and thus is susceptible to interior pressure; NE dominates with interior pressure against immobile QBs
- Seattle’s QB has shown tendency to melt down when rattled; NE has compiled obscene # of pressures in postseason

I feel like this matchup is really really good and is flying under the radar. Even if Maye and the offense can’t do a lot, the defense may be able to carry a win.

Issue I have with Bad Bunny is that he lacks musical talent and seems to just be a waking political statement with no actual musical ability. If Prince was still alive and rolled out in a skirt I wouldn’t give a **** because the performance itself would be elite.

I have never heard a Bad Bunny tune, nor do I wish to, so I'm not one to speak from any expertise... BUT based on all the empirical evidence that has been thrown out, in this "wildly interesting" (heavy sarcasm) Bad Bunny musical dialog (and I get **** when I bring up the "great divider") Your statement on his musical talent could just be the DUMBEST statement of the lot. "lacks musical talent"? So all those millions of people are wrong, or are you just one of those people who refuse to believe what you see with your own eyes.

Stick to Football UGA, you are much better contributor when you do. Its good advice, something I'm trying to do more myself.

This is how they treat a American citizen. Well, the ones who understand that he's a citizen. Just imagine what slander they would be throwing his way if he was from the motherland.

I feel the same way, but because I don't "study" the game too deeply and I am hearing almost everyone in the national media pick the Seahawks I have been thinking I must be too much of a homer to see it clearly. I keep having to remind myself that the NE team I have watched play every play of every game this season is the real deal and has more than a fighter's chance to win this game. Beyond that, I know that the Patriots themselves BELIEVE they will win. They are one hell of a confident bunch. Hoping for an epic last game of the NFL season.

You apparently have forgotten this board‘s tendencies….

So you are saying we have a chance … for another 100 20-count pages?

They did an English version but the German was better.

Over the past year I've got right in to a French singer from the 60s Francoise Hardy and I can't speak barely a word of French and haven't the faintest idea what she's singing about. Don't think language matters all that much in music

That said I'll be skipping Bad Bunny, its not for me at all

I agree, think Seattle is a much better Matchup than Rams would be. If Rams don't muff a punt the Rams likely win. Also, still amazed how the Pats DLine dominated the Broncos O line. Not talked about enough.

Have not quite figured out how good Seattle defense is and how Pats offense will match up.
Seattle looks good but also have not played many good offenses.
Rams twice, Bucs and then first matchup with 49ers.
Baker Mayfield went 29 for 33 379 yards, 11.5 avg and 134.7 rating. That was first half of year, however.
Last 10 weeks of reg season and 2 playoff game they played the Rams 3 times, 21,37, 27 points. They did not play another good offense that whole time. Doesn't mean the defense is bad or overrated just hard to tell how good they are. They make bad QB's look really bad but they have not played many really good QB's.
Stafford ratings in 3 games vs SEA: 89.9, 110.7, 127.6 and add Mayfield at 134.7. Those are the Drake level QB's they've faced. Even Trevor Lawrence was a 97.4 tho they got 7 sacks. If they don't get a lot of pressure they can't stop the pass.

Been saying the same thing all week to anyone who will listen. Pats defense matches up favorably vs Seattles offense. Plus I think this is the game Maye shines. National stage , he’s gonna have a great second half. Win the Super Bowl MVP.

The Pats D is being severely disrespected.

I foresee them playing angry. I keep remembering El;iss and the hit he delivered on MNF vs the Giants. That type of game. Also, Vrabel has turned into a Defensive Guru. Its wild, out of all the OCs and DCs that have left NE to HC their own programs its the player Vrabel who has risen to the top.

But, NE is undefeated in outdoor Super Bowls stadiums since all 5 Super Bowl losses were in domes.
