Superbowl

I tried to watch it once and was bored ****less. Never again.

 

Unreal if I'm honest mate, even the Mrs enjoyed it and she doesn't 'get it' either.

 

You have to understand the rules mate, it’s a mind game

 

I mite have a look later on. Day off tomorrow. I know the basics. I'm not on any of them, but I'd assume Instergram,Facebook and Twitter will be full of one game experts because they've watched ballers.

 

Best game I've ever watched was Screws V Cons..... Adam Sandlers team won.

 

All the trick plays, misdirections, then there’s just hard-nosed up the middle running. Great mixture of physical, skill and out-thinking the opponent.

I’ve got back into it these last few seasons.

Seeing Patrick Mahomes play reminds me of seeing Federer play for the first time. Just talent on another level.

 

Well a bit of fun can be had by asking our USA cousins, Is the Superbowl the single most watched single sporting event... they often arrogantly reply of course it is

However the World Cup Final may eell beat it...

If not then cricket cos 1.3 billion Indians are made about cricket IPL.

 

Nah Aussie No Rules is a better watch

 

Class game

As is hurling

 

Yep, I've been to Ireland a couple of times and managed to catch a game and a live game is something else.

 

Aussie rules, hurling and rugby are all hard lads, nfl are mostly soft as ****e tbh

 

It's something like an hour of action and over three hours for the game as a whole? It might have exciting moments but it's not like it being stop start is a myth or exaggerated, it's built into the sport.

I've tried to get into it a few times and I haven't got the patience for all the standing about. When something actually happens it's decent but it's not enough to make up for all the wasted time.

 

You can tell the way it’s going by the first quarter for me, the dominance of the quarter back usually tells

give it a quarter mate

 

I'll give it another go someday.

Agreed about hurling btw, brilliant entertainment. Proper sport that.

 

Huge amounts of ****e getting spouted, get kicked off.

 

Loved the way he slapped him down there

 

The game lasts over 3 hours and I believe there's something like 11 minutes of play during that time.

It's a sport that I've slowly been getting into but I'm not clued up enough yet to have a debate about it like some of the guys on here.

 

Like I said, the quarterback is the main guy, if he is running the show it’s almost game over, then you have your rushers 66’s if they start hitting

 

That half time show was unreal.

 

I recall the days of the Channel 4 American Football show, but I can remember first watching highlights of the Super Bowl being shown on World of Sport on ITV back in the 1974 (Super Bowl IX) and have been a Steelers fan ever since, though my most memorable moment was when Joe Theismann's lower leg was broken - nearly made me throw up!
