(BBC Sport) FT: Rams survive huge scare
Los Angeles Rams 34-31 Carolina Panthers

--Phew, what a game! Congratulations to the Los Angeles Rams who advance to the Divisional Round after a play-off classic in Charlotte.

It was all LA early on as the Panthers made the mistakes, had the turnovers and looked like they could get swept aside. But things changed big time and in the second half the Rams shot themselves in the foot with penalties, missed chances and then a blocked punt that looked to have handed victory to Carolina.

Matthew Stafford is seen as the MVP this season though and he showed why with his late touchdown drive as Colby Parkinson scored with 38 second left in the game.

I would think Packers head coach gets canned over that.

I was wrong. He actually ended up getting an extension, go figure.

Anyway, Super Bowl this weekend. Who ya got?

(The Guardian) Trump blasts Bad Bunny's historic Super Bowl show as 'absolutely terrible'
Donald Trump has said Bad Bunny’s historic Super Bowl half-time show performance celebrating Latino heritage and culture was “absolutely terrible” and “an affront to the Greatness of America”.

The Puerto Rican musician made history by becoming the first Super Bowl half-time show headliner to perform nearly entirely in Spanish, and to host a wedding during the show, which included appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, among others.

In a lengthy Truth Social Post published after, Trump wrote: The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day – including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD.

It’s hardly surprising Trump did not like Bad Bunny’s show. The 31-year-old, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been a vocal critic of ICE and of Trump and his administration’s authoritarian immigration policies.

In January, Trump criticized the selection (alongside rightwing media commentators) as “absolutely ridiculous” while also claiming he was unfamiliar with the artist. At the time, Trump said of Bad Bunny and punk rock band Green Day, who also performed: “I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”

Sunday’s performance came a week after Bad Bunny’s ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ became the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammy for album of the year, building more anticipation for his Super Bowl show, still one of the staples of the American cultural calendar.

The Super Bowl is the most-watched annual television event in the United States. Last year’s game averaged nearly 130m US viewers, according to NFL figures, with an additional 62.5m watching internationally.

“God bless America!” Bad Bunny shouted toward the end of the half-time show, which ran to nearly 14 minutes. He then gave a roll call of the countries of North, South and Central America, including Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, the US and Canada.

A colourful parade of flags from those nations marched through the sugar plantation fields that functioned as the energetic show’s centerpiece.

 
I don't understand the Bad Bunny hatred. I'm sure he was better than Kid Rock.
