Grammys, Shmammys. Next week is all about the Super Bowl, baby! The annual gridiron orgy takes over the airwaves starting Monday, with umpteen hours of programming devoted to stadium-sized snacks, football-themed parties, outrageously expensive commercials and (of course) how it all affects Taylor Swift. Somewhere it there, Kendrick Lamar will perform at a halftime show — and undoubtedly do something that will prompt a wave of outrage and countless FCC complaints (joke’s on you, racists; if that agency hasn’t already been shitcanned along with the rest of your government, it will be soon). Looking for some sports-free entertainment? Your options are nearly as limited as the average NFLer’s post-career prospects. Here’s the roster:
