I really think people are overreacting to the lack of “Sweet Victory” in the recent Super Bowl halftime show. So to clarify why I feel the way I do about the halftime show, I decided to do a commentary on a video complaining about it (and also show my inner Masshole by throwing some shade at people who root against the Patriots). Hopefully this won’t come off as too contrarian, especially since I don’t even really disagree with most of the complaints about the halftime show.
Oh, and R.I.P. to Stephen Hillenburg.
