This is the first SB that I'm not even remotely interested in viewing. I've had it with the NFL which is incompetent and corrupt, with the Patriots, for whom the rules of the NFL do not seem to apply, until they've managed to get whatever they got from cheating.

Factor in the Zionist's single biggest day for passing off subversive immoral filth as entertainment via commercials, and well, that's enough for me.

Having said that, I like the Seahawks too and I wouldn't at all be bothered if Brady's career is ended tonight due to injury.

I don't wish injury to anyone, but I can't disagree with the rest of your post.

It's funny how everyone responds to a comment like that.

Did, anywhere, I say that I wish injury on anyone?

All I said was that I wouldn't be bothered if Brady's career ended as a result of injury tonight. Don't care either way, I just think that it would be a hearty dose of poetic justice on an organization that is known for bending the rules well outside the bounds of good sportsmanship, not to mention a comeuppance for a coach that hasn't been able to do shit, literally, not even average, without Brady and with four other QBs, one of which did much better outside of Belichick's tutelage.

I also wouldn't be bothered if Belichick had a heart attack at halftime.

The Secret Jewish History of the Super Bowl

By Seth Rogovoy

On Sunday, February 2, all across the nation, worshippers will gather around their TV sets to take part in the annual ritual of that highest of American holidays: Super Bowl Sunday.

While outside of Sid Luckman, Jews have yet to make much of an impact on the gridiron, the Super Bowl itself is a lot more than just football; it’s a pop culture phenomenon, an entertainment and commercial extravaganza, and one in which Jews have played a significant role. A couple of years ago, Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli and Jewish actor Jesse Heiman shocked viewers with a lengthy, luscious kiss for a GoDaddy commercial broadcast during the game. This year, Israeli seltzer machine manufacturer SodaStream has already scored a touchdown by signing up Jewish actress Scarlett Johansson to be its global spokesperson — she’ll make her debut in that role during the telecast of the game, demonstrating how the do-it-yourself seltzer maker works and presumably making SodaStream seem sexy.

For its first three decades, the Super Bowl halftime show was relatively tame, featuring college marching bands, Dixieland jazz outfits, and the inspirational singing group Up with People. But around the turn of the century, the producers of the TV broadcast and Hollywood agents wised up to its potential, and now the program regularly features some of the biggest names in entertainment.

In 2001, Jewish comic actors Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler played a role in the halftime show, as did the rock band Aerosmith, which, as we explained in these pages last fall, boasts a considerable secret Jewish history as well as a Jewish drummer. Paul McCartney played in 2005, Bruce Springsteen in 2009, and we’ve already explored their Jewish cultural affinities at length in these columns. Jewish rock guitarist Saul Hudson, better known as Slash of Guns N’ Roses, performed that band’s greatest hit, “Sweet Child o’ Mine,” in 2011, and Madonna, for better or worse the world’s most famous adherent of Kabbalah, ruled the stage in 2012.

Last year, rhythm and blues star Beyoncé bounced around at halftime in a fabulous dress designed by Austrian-born Jewish fashion designer Rubin Singer. This year’s show will be no exception to the rule: The stars involved are Bruno Mars, Jewish on his Brooklyn-born father’s side, and the rock group Red Hot Chili Peppers, who boast the Jewish guitarist Josh Klinghoffer (a distant relative of PLO terrorism victim Leon Klinghoffer), and two Jewish co-founders — the late Israeli-American guitarist Hillel Slovak, and drummer Jack Irons, who now pounds the skins for the mostly Jewish rock group The Wallflowers, led by Jakob Dylan.

Many people tune into the big game for the TV commercials. The Super Bowl boasts some of the most expensive advertising time on the air, and sponsors typically spare no expense to hire big-name talents to create and direct edgy, innovative and memorable clips featuring big-name celebrities. Comedian Richard Lewis of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” fame has made several appearances in Super Bowl ads, including a 1997 spot for Lay’s potato chips and a somewhat controversial one for Snickers candy bars, in which he appeared in a whiny role with fellow Jewish performer Roseanne Barr, in 2011. Fran Drescher of the hit TV show “The Nanny” hawked Pizza Hut’s new “New Yorker” pizza in 1999, and Pepsi used Bob Dylan’s song “Forever Young” — which in itself is a loose rewording of the Friday night Shabbat blessing over the children — in versions by different singers in 2009. Jewish actor Abe Vigoda appeared with non-Jewish actress Betty White for Snickers in 2010, and was even nominated for an Emmy for his cameo role in the ad. And in 2011, Jewish soft jazz saxophonist Kenny G was a good sport and allowed himself to be mocked in a spot for Audi.

All I know is that every year now for at least the last 20, big corporate America pushes the envelope, or perhaps attempts to shove it, further down our throats in terms of filthy and immoral commercials and half-time entertainment. The latter can be avoided by simply tuning out and hitting another channel or simply turning the TV off for 30 min. at the half, but the commercials are more difficult to ignore and avoid. The whole thing has even turned into a game of sorts where the establishment fields disgruntlements and complaints every year at the network HQ of the network in question, after any damage has already been done that is and another year of desentization has occurred.

Pushing me over the top this year, besides being at home with three young kids not young enough to be put into bed before the game, is this now seeming status quo where the Pats are allowed to cheat, and they'll be doing something controversial no doubt, while assessing them with ridiculous penalties after the damage has been done and they've benefitted from their cheating.

Sounds exactly like the fabric of this country these days. A little too much so for me to give it my blessing anymore.

People talk about how the deflated footballs thing didn't matter in the Colts game, but we'd have to be fools to think that they didn't do it in the Ravens game, and it's impossible to argue that it almost assuredly didn't make a difference in that game, which allowed them to get to the Colts game to begin with.

So I have difficulty getting excited over a game knowing ahead of time that one team is likely pushing the envelope on the rules to win it but that we'll likely find out when/after it's too late insulting our intelligence further.
