5 takeaways from snore fest that was Super Bowl 53
By Kareem Gantt
3. That halftime show was absolutely dreadful
With the worst first half in recent Super Bowl memory, there was hope that the Pepsi Halftime Show would wake up the fans and cause us to forget the running tragedy we were witnessing.
That clearly did not happen.
Cardi B was supposed to be the main entertainer at this year’s Super Bowl, but she backed out. So, who did the NFL get to replace her?
Maroon 5.
Jesus should have taken the wheel and drove all of us off a cliff.
Maybe we should have taken Adam Levine at his word when he said that the Halftime Show would be “insufferable.” Man, he wasn’t kidding.
That performance made the first half of the game look halfway bearable. Sure, OutKast came in to save the day for a moment, but by the time Levine ripped his shirt off, that should have been an omen to all of us that were doomed to the trash heap of Super Bowls.
Super Bowl LIII’s halftime show could honestly be ranked as the worst ever; but, for their sake, Maroon 5 was saved, somewhat, by the Disney halftime show of XXV.
Nope, I take it back. No one saw that travesty because of breaking news from the Gulf War at the time. This would have been a great time for Donald Trump to say or do something “newsworthy,” but, sadly for all of us, he didn’t deliver when we really needed him too.
Come to think of it? Cardi B should thank her lucky stars that she made the right decision to skip this dumpster fire.
