Superbowl

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Superbowl

Post by Number 5 »

Another year has roled around to THE BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT IN THE WORLD.

Any of you cats hitting the superbash party down at Indigo2 tonight? I'll be there in my Colts Manning 18 shirt with a pal (Packer?). If anyone's down let me know and we'll beer it up supporting the Cards.

World Cup Final is way bigger.

Not dissing the Superbowl, because I like American Football, but many more people watch the beautiful game.

not where advertising is concerned, companys pay millions for a 30 second add space during the superbowl half time.

Just because companies will pay millions to be advertised at half time in the Superbowl doesn't make it the biggest sporting event in the world though does it??

Seeing the same happen to Joey Barton would also be very entertaining.

i'll be watching and doing my overdue tax return in the breaks in play. always enjoy the bowl unless it gets too one-sided too early. halftime show is springsteen this year.

will keep myself awake through the first two quarters with constant coffee. once i have got through those, the temptation to nod off passes. brilliant that it's on bbc this year as no ads. wonder how they will fill the breaks. probably with a idiot's guide to american football.

wish i had the time to watch games in the regular season, but this is my once a year indulgence.

in terms of audience, world cup final is much much bigger. but for the good old US of A, this is the big one.

basically its a load of bollocks. an internal bout of pushing and shoving puncuated with loads of adverts with people with perfect teeth. the septics are welcome to that shower of a game.

the one thing that pisses me off is that its from that load of bollocks that people over here got this sports as a business/enetrtainment packge. fucking bruce springstien at half time :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: . give me bruce forsyth any day of the week. " Nice to see you, to see you nice"
