I'm also pretty sure at least he and 50 were lip syncing.
I thought the halftime shows were always pre-recorded for the home audience, but possibly live in person.

50 Cent upside down was... interesting.

I'm glad the Rams won given that BS facemask no call. That had to be a huge mental hurdle to get over.

I think the commercial for the halftime show was way better than the show itself.

Good for Stafford, Weddle, OBJ, the Lions, and Whitworth.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. Had the Bengals won by just enough points for that no call to have mattered, they never would have heard the end of it.

My wife and I both thought it was good, but it came off really flat. I hear people calling it the best ever, but that's horseshit. Prince's from a few years back was much better and going farther back, Michael Jackson in his prime was the best ever.

Also, I saw Eminem take a knee and never thought about it being a symbolic gesture until you posted that image.

I didn't either. I thought he was just ending his set. :)

Hard call to make given how quick it was and where the ref was positioned.

Same. I like the music, but thought they could have done more.

I don't remember him taking a knee at all. I do remember him hiding in the lower doorway while Dre and Snoop started the ending. I'm betting him taking a knee was never discussed by the NFL or him and people are just turning it into something to talk about.

The NFL said "we saw he him do it in rehearsals, and we said nothing"

The origin of the "don't take a knee" reports is unknown

If I had to guess, the MSM. They want something to talk about.

Eminem taking a knee during a song meant nothing because the song wasn't the national anthem. There was no symbolism there to represent what whomever thought it up wanted it to represent. In fact, I could make an argument pretty easily that him being the only white person in the show and being the only one that kneeled gave its symbolism an entirely different meaning.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was reddit or twitter, honestly.

Twitter was full of people ejaculating over it.

Literally ejaculating. Even the women.

NFL Memes account really hates Baker. Wonder if they're a Browns fan?
In other Browns news, I saw a columnist arguing that the Browns should sign Trubisky. That actually could be an interesting move. Word out of Buffalo is that Mitch was a completely different guy out from under Nagy. I wonder what Stefanski could do with him.

If it means anything Stranger, being your rival, this move would make me uneasy. Thus, it's probably got value.

Although, Steelers' Twitter is claiming Trubisky to Pittsburgh has steam.
