A TMZ poll conducted following Sunday’s Super Bowl reveals football fans much preferred an alternative halftime show provided by Turning Point USA on social media, compared to the game’s broadcast halftime performance by a notorious, polarizing, anti-American, anti-law enforcement singer with a penchant for explicit lyrics.

The Super Bowl is one of the last remaining parts of American culture that all Americans, regardless of their political beliefs, can share and enjoy, but the NFL and CBS’s Stephen Colbert seem eager to end that. On Tuesday, the host of The Late Show defended Bad Bunny’s decision not to perform in the mainland U.S. prior to the game because of ICE.

CNN This Morning rolls a clip of NFL Commish Roger Goodell absurdly claiming: "This platform is used to unite people and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents, and to be able to use this moment to do that. And I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that." Surprisingly, host Audie Cornish calls out Goodell on his BS: "I…

Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker faced extensive criticism following his speech at Benedictine College, promoting traditional, pro-woman, and pro-religion values and condemning IVF and abortion. However, he found support from teammate and celebrity Travis Kelce, who defended Butker's right to his views and highlighted his respectful nature.

The point of having a guest on your show is to make the audience smarter, but Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host Desus Nice accomplished the opposite on Tuesday as he welcomed author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyan to discuss his new book and label the National Football League, “big juggernaut of evil white men telling black bodies to go hurt yourself.”

When you think of football, do you think of dudes wearing mini skirts and bras and caking on three pounds of makeup? No? Ditto.

Nobody to root for in this match-up.
