Sheesh!
For football fans, yesterday's Super Bowl game was a great game, decided by a field goal kicked with 8 seconds left.
But most of the talk today is about someone who goes by only one name (as many pop idols do) and about her appearance during her halftime performance and whether or not she was pregnant.
Rihanna proudly displayed her "baby bump" and it was confirmed after the game that she was indeed pregnant with her second child with her partner who goes by the name (?) of A$AP Rocky.
But give the girl credit: with her smart business decisions and the apparent loyalty of her fans, she's become a billionaire.
As for me, who has let the current music scene evade him, I wouldn't have recognized Rihanna, pregnant or otherwise.
As for that other event, the football game, some Philadelphia Eagles fans and some pundits were growling about a penalty called in the waning moments of the game that gave the Kansas City Chiefs new momentum.
But even the Eagles player they called it on said after the game that it was indeed holding.
"I grabbed his jersey", he said, "but I was hoping they'd let it get by."
They didn't and the Chiefs went on to their second Super Bowl victory in four years.
So that's that and I promise I won't ever write another word about the Super Bowl.
At least until next year's game.
And where were the Budweiser horses anyway?
ReplyDeleteThe last super bowl I watched had Joe Montana in it...
ReplyDeleteIt was a very good game although my "team" didn't win. I wasn't broken-hearted though. I liked many of Rihanna's songs; she has a good voice. (even though she was lip synching)
ReplyDeleteI of course ignored the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteDidn't watch the game at all, but did see a bit of Rihanna's performance on Youtube. Meh. Modern music leaves me missing the old days. (NewRobin13)
ReplyDeleteSeems that the halftime show means more than the game. I reached halftime here in England and saw Rihanna and a bunch of dancing men in white costumes writhing about in the middle of the pitch. It was my signal to go to bed. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
ReplyDeleteWell, your post is the most I've read about the super bowl. Not only didn't I watch it, I've managed to ignore most of the news pieces. But, I must admit I had heard about baby bump. That appears to be making more news than the game.
