    While it may be the Wail reporting it, our stadium is reportedly being considered to host the 2026 Super Bowl

    How would they make it work with the time difference? It would have to take place overnight to satisfy the American audience and I can’t see that happening.

    Several decades of staying up until ridiculous o'clock to watch WWE shows and E3 presentations says "Suck it up, y'American bastids!"

    It could kick off at about 8pm over here and be at a reasonable time for them.
    Midday for Pacific Standard Time and 3pm for New York.
    I believe the NFL games at our place were half an hour earlier than that, for some reason.

    19:00 local time + 3 hrs elapsed = 22:00 finish.
    That would mean an 11:00 / 14:00 start PST/EST.

    The PST start for the marquee event IMHO would be a hard sell to do.

    Why the 10pm finish, though? Add an hour or two and I'd have thought it would be fine.
    We definitely go over that sometimes and the boxing did, too.

    You can probably bolt an extra hour onto that, given the Super Bowl drags out halftime so that the studios who paid hardcore dollars to have their trailers premier have an extra few minutes

    ...sorry, I meant to say "Because they go all-out with the halftime show"

    The players are not going beyond "bedtime" (local time) .
    So I assume KO is defined on that basis,

    Break up her marriage? That would've sped up her writing material...

    We've submitted a planning application to build a media centre at Hotspur Way

    Here's how it will look...if we get planning permission, obviously

    Was at the Rugby match today....they played it on the grass pitch which surprised me. Seemed to stand up well to the scrums though so all good.

    Very good match.

    Looks like the architect drew inspiration from some rolled up corrugated cardboard
