So while your wife or girlfriend was going nuts over Rihanna’s halftime performance, know that it might’ve cost the Eagles a Super Bowl. Known Chiefs season ticket holder and Super Bowl head groundskeeper, George Toma, revealed that the grass could’ve used more sand because Rihanna’s rehearsals during the week beat all the moisture into the ground.

Via Alan Snel at LVSportsBiz.com:

“As far as the slippage, it did need a little more sand . . . The grass was brought in on Wednesday because they had rehearsals and they put in extra seats behind the goalpost,” Toma said in his down-to-earth speaking style.

“It was brought in on Wednesday and stayed in there Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,” Toma said.

“With all the rehearsals, that’s pounding on the grass (and), it puts more moisture in there,” he said. “The field did take a beating from the entrance 30 feet wide and 60 feet long and it was kind of wet from pounding, pounding, pounding. A little more sand would have helped it. We couldn’t do much after Wednesday.”

Look at the SodFather passing the buck. Not only is he corrupt, he doesn’t have any integrity either. The field didn’t have enough sand… in the fucking desert! Listen, if 10 year old me can get Windlestrae Park ready for first pitch with some Diamond Dry and a rake after a monsoon hits, then the NFL can find a way to dry the field. How can this be the first time they’ve ever run into this problem? We’ve been doing halftime shows for 100 years.

Also, how about Roger Goodell wanting to squeeze every penny he could out of the Super Bowl? Adding extra seats behind the goal posts so the field would have to sit in the stadium for four days instead of getting the proper sun it needed to dry out. It’s amazing no one was seriously injured. Next time the NFL says they care about player safety, laugh in their face. It’s all about money and halftime shows at the end of the day:

The worst part of all of this is the Rihanna performance wasn’t even good. I’m even a Rihanna guy. Rihanna > Beyonce. Introduce that into evidence before you come after me. But if you think that halftime show ranks among the greats you’re lying to yourself. All she did was float up and down on a stage. Lady Gaga jumped off the fucking stadium! Katy Perry rode some humongous animatronic lion! Janet Jackson showed a boob!* The sign language interpreter broke more of a sweat than Rihanna did:

There was No Pon De Replay. No What’s My Name. No Disturbia. How did Jay-Z not come out during Run This Town? He was there! Most of her best songs feature Drake, Eminem, Calvin Harris, T.I., Kanye(lol). She couldn’t get any guests? “Rihanna doesn’t need guests!” you cackle. Motherfucker, Beyonce even threw Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams a bone. “Give her a break she was pregnant!” So she had the strength of two humans. “She couldn’t move around because she was pregnant!” Patrick Mahomes had a bum ankle and he scampered 26 yards from 300 lb dudes who can run 4.8 40s. Rihanna and the NFL’s greed is why you and I aren’t partying on Broad Street tomorrow.

P.S. I want to say this is the last post on the SodFather and the Super Bowl field, but I think I’m just warming up.
