Armagh bumpkins who'd prefer to see Nathan Carter probably weren't the target demographic of the halftime show, in fairness.

Im no fan of Nathan but he'd probably have done a better job. Who was the target demographic out of curiosity?

Bad Bunny is the best selling artist on the planet.

I thought it was a superb show.

I realise that, and I also realise that Im not "hip".

The first throw to Hollins before the TD was a beauty, but perhaps ill advised.

Missed Hooper by a mile on the first play of the drive

Got lucky with the one thrown deep into triple coverage.

Then the one that got picked was just awful, and right as they seemed to finally able to string a few plays together.

Maye will learn a huge amount from this and he's going to be one of the faces of the league for the next decade, but this is pretty chastening.

Poor NE quarterback is getting zero protection.

That defo was the case early on, but multiple times he has been far to slow to release it

I take that back. More of the same

Won't go down as memorable as a spectacle or a contest.  Only saw 5 minutes of the halftime show, I'd imagine Donald will be effusive in his praise...

Never heard of Bad Bunny before. Not really into rap. Repetitive bitching about their problems in life to repetitive music, essentially the same as the bitching you get in honky-tonk music. I got my own problems thanks. Generally you need to be able to understand the language to listen to it too.

So wasn't expecting much from the half time show after having listened to a few of his tracks beforehand on Spotify and everything in Spanish. But I have to say I enjoyed it probably much more than a lot of previous half time shows. Brilliant set, dancing and great energy. Was in Rio for carnival years ago and got a similar vibe off it at times.
