SUPERBOWL

well not everything american is unwatchable :wink:

i enjoy gridiron but i simply do not have the time to watch it. so once a year, i make a point of watching the superbowl. invariably need a coffee every 20 minutes to get me to the halftime show, but after that i can stay awake unaided to watch the last 2 quarters. i've always liked the giants. reminded me of arsenal in the late 80s early 90s - brilliant defence. so i'm supporting the underdogs tonight.

I get in to a bit of 'football' from time to time and yes, I'll be watching. My girlfriend is a New Yorker, which basically means that I'm a Giants fan :lol:

Instead of watching the superbowl, I will be taking the opportunity to pull out all of my fingernails without anasthetic and perform my own dental surgery :wink: 8)

American Football is like American society.

It's a weird version of the English way that's far too violent.

i agree the game dose drag on a bit, esp the superbowl, which can take up to 3 1/2 hours, compared to the normal 3 hours. when ure actually at a game its totally different 2 watching it on tv. as well as going 2 wembley last year, i also went 2 denver 2 watch the broncos, and had a great time. once a body gets 2 know the rules, its def a great game 2 watch. mind, it took me a full season 2 learn the rule, and that 22 years ago.
