      I stopped watching the NFL in general several years ago when they went to split screen to show a commercial during gameplay. I can’t even imagine how much worse it has gotten.

        I’ve never seen them do split screen during gameplay. Maybe if they timed it wrong, but not that I can remember. But thet do have split screen during short timeouts or ref reviews

      The commercials are the only part I might be interested in. Last year’s were definitely a mixed bag.

        This year’s commercials were unbelievably boring and/or bad. They were all somber and super serious, except for the Dodge Ram Fuck Yeah America ad.

        I guess it’s been a while but it was just more commercials than game and every single commercial was just a celebrity fuck fest. I don’t see many ads.

          The only Superbowl commercial I remember from recent years was the Tide one, where Hopper keeps showing up and says “nope. It’s a Tide ad.”

          That and puppybabymonkey

            Puppymonkeybaby made a cameo in a new commercial last night. I had completely forgotten about puppymonkeybaby until I saw it.
