Most people found the Super Bowl 56 halftime show entertaining. Darrin Simmons did not.The Bengals wound up losing the final game of the season to the Rams Domantas Sabonis Jersey , but fiesty upstart Cincinnati rubbed some the wrong way with their swagger. Simmons, the team's special teams coach, might be in that group.During halftime, Evan McPherson everyone's new favorite kicker who vaulted into stardom with his perfect postseason decided to take in the show instead of heading back to the locker room with his teammates.That didn't sit well with Simmons:"That's a sore subject," Simmons when asked about the image of McPherson taking in the performance. "Thats a real sore subject."Simmons made it clear on numerous occasions during the postseason that McPherson had far "exceeded expectations," so this is probably more a bitter lasting image than real vitriol.MORE: The kicker made his intentions to sneak away and watch the performance by Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and Eminem known a few days beforehand."I dont know if theyre going to force us in the locker room (and say), 'You can't stay out and watch anything,'". "I'll be super bummed if we can't at least watch it on a TV or something. I hope I get to watch it, I hope I get to be out there and experience it."McPherson staying out during halftime was nothing new: The kicker usually cuts locker room time short to head back to the field and warm up away from the team.The rookie helped boot the Bengals into the Super Bowl, going a perfect 14 for 14 on field goal attempts in the playoffs.He might be kicking himself if that image haunts him heading into the 2022 season, though.
