Oye como va! That makes me more interested!

I know, right? Now I am excited!!

More reason to tune in for the half time. Santana is my favorite, especially with the hit song “Black Magic Woman”. I don’t know anything about BB so will see him on screen first time.

Smoooooth!👏🏻👍🏻

SUPER!!

oooh I am interested now.

We are going to a super bowl party, but I mostly eat and chat... I haven't loved a halftime show since Sir Paul.

I'm trying to remember what year I saw Santana perform... it was somewhere between 69 and 71.....

Well, I have looked all over and can't find any confirmation that this is true!!! I am sorry to have posted this.

Maybe his name caused some to be upset, nyuk.

Just googler it, apparantly it was an AI generates rumor of some aort. I didn’t look further.

I thijk the short-lived enthusiasm here speaks volumes though.

Oh bummer! Maybe BB will surprise me…

i HOPE HOPE HOPE it's true!!!! he's one of my all time favorites, saw him in st. louis years ago. my son and i had front row seats and it was nothing short of awesome!!!!

ETA: google says...

Yes, reports indicate that iconic guitarist Carlos Santana is set to unite with Bad Bunny for a historic performance at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show on February 8, 2026. Their collaboration marks a major moment blending different musical worlds on the Super Bowl stage.

It's false. Not happening, from what I found in a 5 second long search.

my search took 4 seconds.

My search took 1 second - seemed instantaneous response. Do I win? 🤣 The response I received was AI & also included the false rumor that Santana is appearing in the Turning Point USA show. AI also included the false rumors from last year about Santana not supporting the choice of BB as the half time entertainment.

I am sorry to have posted this.

I think that we are entering an era where sadly, we have to follow up on so much information we see online. I'm sure that next time you will do so, and I know that your intentions were good here.

You are a very kind person, Lucillle

So true Lucille, Al is living up to it's name, the artificial part.

maybe if we wish hard enough, it will be!

yes, KW , you win but only because the arthritis in my thumb slows me down! 😛

Need agreement on contest rules, KW. I counted typing time.

Rules? Who follows them these days? 😁 Sounds like both you & Nina counted keying time. I did not. But, I will say, without meaning to brag, that my keyboarding input speed is very fast even when including accuracy count. I don’t have the arthritis issue so maybe Nina gets handicap points? We’d each have to factor in our ISP download speeds too. I’ll agree to a tie with Nina for me. 😉

And, on that note, looks like it’s about time for that controversial half time show!

maybe Nina gets handicap points?

i'll take whatever i can get! 😂

I’ll agree to a tie with Nina for me.

do we get a prize??

" that controversial half time show! "

Which I enjoyed more than I expected although I understood almost none of it. But I thoroughly enjoyed the music and the dancers. It was lively and entertaining!

I also have no objection to it being in Spanish since Spanish speaking and/or bilingual US citizens make up such a massive part of our population. I think those of us who aren't can afford to be a little generous here.

Also saw some pretty awesome commercials. And the Puppy Bowl!!.

Nina - since we’re both dog lovers & each have at least one - we get a doggie hug. Much easier for me than you & I hope you don’t get squashed! Elmer’s a dog lover too but he doesn’t currently have one in his household. He’ll have to recruit one - I’m sure he can find one pretty easily!

@gardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)b The Puppy Bowl indeed! Such fun to watch! The handicapped ones broke my heart but I realized they are the lucky ones.

Re halftime, I thought the theater was great, but only Lady Gags and Ricky Martin saved the music. To my taste.

Apparently the wedding at the half time show was real...

Well, I would have to say that most of you are most gracious!! Seeing Santana would have been great but the fact that the SeaHawks kicked some serious butt makes me way more happy!!! What a fun game to watch!!

My favorite commercials were the Lays where the dad turned the farm over to his daughter. The other was the Hellman's commercial with "Meal Diamond". Hilarious!

Thanks for playing!!

Who are you?

" she loves to post to stir the pot "

Oh, please!! Anyone who has been on these forums more than 5 minutes knows perfectly well that Lucille is no kind of pot stirrer.

That boat don't float!!

I love Lulu (Lucillle)! ♥️

Although I know no words in Spanish, I loved the half-time show. It was joyful and fun. And as I said in another thread, I dislike football and never watch a game, so I was indifferent when I was at my son's party. But that changed when they informed me of the teams' owners and their opinions of the felon-in-chief. Yea Seahawks.

Our Seahawks owner is the Paul G. Allen Trust managed by Paul's sister, Jody Allen. Paul died in 2018 and Jody took over managing the estate. Paul was the founder of Microsoft along with Bill Gates. She also owns the Portland Trail Blazers and has a stake in our professional soccer team, the Seattle Sounders. Along with a massive portfolio of other assets.

I saw on our local news last week that she gave everyone who works for the Seahawks in any way - from the people who clean the training facility to the cooks who prepare the food to the cheerleaders, to the bus drivers, a large bonus. I don't know if that is typical for owners to do that; I'd never heard that before. Maybe other NFL owners also do that too. .

The first owners of the Seahawks until 1988 were the Nordstrom family.

The halftime performance radiated vibrant, uplifting energy. From the props and flags to the dancers and artists, everything was choreographed seamlessly across shifting settings. Each element felt intentional, not just spectacle, but a tribute to a culture and peoples under duress in this time period. Even though I don’t understand the Spanish lyrics or typically enjoy this music, I understand why this year’s Super Bowl halftime show is unique.

I wonder whose alter ego this is? very new account but has a strong (wrong) opinion of Lucillle?

I was trying to decide whether I'd fess up and let you know that I mostly stayed in another room without the tv, with quite a few others, and missed the halftime show. Periodically when I went into the open kitchen/family room for food, I'd see the score or watch like 2 minutes but no one made any stir when it was halftime. I was going to look and see if I could find a clip showing Carlos at the halftime show but I guess I don't need to bother.

I was suprrised that no one was talking about the halftime show there. When I asked how it was, people said it was good and that Ricky Martin was there.

edting to say-in the middle of typing this I decided to look for the youtube of the show.

It was great theatre for sure... and I learned that I've been hearing that first song at my zumba classes for all this time and never knew it was BB.

I think the staging was super and he has great presence. I enjoyed watching it but I have to say, it strikes me ( as often happens) that I think "nowadays" these performers are more dancing and stage presence more than vocal talent.

Speaking of “pot stirrer”, I can think of a notable one who is not Lucille.

Loved, loved, loved the game, GO SEAHAWKS!! liked the half-time show, The dancing and staging were creative and festive, which is better than not, I guess. (thought there was just a lot of yelling into a mic, rather than any actual singing going on. (rap is the same way though.) The language issue wasn't an issue for me. Lady Gaga was great, as usual. Thought some commercials were clever. (At least they tried, some years they don't.) Ate massive amounts of pizza, watched some olympics before and after too, finished it up with Creatures. Was a couch potato ALL DAY!! I had a great time.

The commercials were heavy on promoting AI, too heavy. Got a chuckle from the one where Matthew Broderick was showing people how easy it was to use AI software so they could take the day off......and not come back, nyuk.

Would’ve loved to see Santana. CONGRATS TO THE HAWKS!!!

I saw it was a record setter with 133 million viewers...

If you prefer supporting a has been who sings about the glory of exploiting underage girls, that says a lot You don’t have to love or even like BB-the music is definitely not my cup of tea, but it’s just so easy to ignore it and not have a hissy fit and offer a pathetic alternative.
