The 2019 Superbowl's Halftime Show And Boring Game Takes The Trophy For Being The Worst In A Decade

A game without a touchdown until the fourth quarter and a halftime show without much flair was a formula for a ratings disaster.

The 2019 Superbowl's Halftime Show And Boring Game Takes  The Trophy For Being The Worst  In A Decade

The numbers are in, and Super Bowl LIII was the worst Super Bowl in over a decade with a household rating of 41.1. The last Super Bowl with a lower rating was Super Bowl XXXVII between the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a rating of 40.7.

Without a doubt, most people who spent their time on Sunday night watching the Super Bowl did not enjoy the action. I would even go as far to say that some Patriots fans did not enjoy the game, despite winning it all. I personally did not enjoy the Super Bowl one bit, especially as an avid NFL enthusiast, so I cannot even imagine how boring the game was for non-NFL fans who felt an obligation to watch.

I watched every single postseason game this year, and I can guarantee that the Super Bowl was the least exciting out of all of them. If only the Chiefs made it through for a rematch against the Rams, because the Rams vs Chiefs game in the regular season was the best game I have seen in years, ending 54-51 Rams.

In the entire first half, only three points were scored, and the only touchdown of the entire game came in the 4th quarter. Neither team was able to get any offense going, and neither Jared Goff or Tom Brady threw a single touchdown. The Rams literally punted eight times to start the game. They have not even punted more than seven times in a game all year.

I am not complaining, because one of these punts was the longest punt in Super Bowl history, my highlight of the game. Thank you Johnny Hekker, for getting that lucky bounce and an extra 20 yards. I don't think I need to say anymore to paint the grim picture of a measly 13-3 final score.

Plus, the halftime show was a massive failure. Maroon 5 has gotten a bit outdated, the Travis Scott performance was very short and uninteresting, and I love Big Boi and OutKast, but Big Boi really did not do much onstage. I basically sat through the entire halftime with no emotions at all, as if I was not bored enough by the uneventful first half of the big game.

In addition, many Sponge-Bob fans are upset that the NFL teased the "Sweet Victory" for a few seconds when in reality it was bait for a transition from Maroon 5 to Travis Scott. Seriously, NFL? And if you think my opinion of the poor execution of the halftime show is unpopular, the upload of it on YouTube currently has seven times as many dislikes as likes. So there's that for your affirmation.

Seriously, in my opinion, this is the worst Super Bowl I have ever seen, and I've watched the last 10. Maybe we could have a team from the AFC besides the Patriots next year in the Super Bowl to spice things up.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
