Spotted in the Greater Los Angeles area. Not sure I can be arsed to be honest these teams of little interest to me. Slightly prefer the Bengals, but I’ve had a heavy weekend, not sure if I’ll last beyond the first quarter, if that.

Anyway, bird watchers enjoy
 
I only remember the number of the event when competing in pub quizzes. I think I started a thread on this years ago when I had a vague recollection of who was involved. I'm not overly bothered nowadays, I do wish that sport could be concentrated on one platform though. The distribution over so many platforms in the Uk has left me with a much lower interest. |Cricket. Rugby, Football even American Football ... now, I couldn't care less. British or preferably make that English sport should have it's own showcase to the world. £5 a month globally and they would cash in.
 
I used to watch this, but off to bed now. I can't imagine what the half time entertainment is? It used to be gold standard quality. But now it's a load of old ****. We'll see.
 
I'd they took all the padding and helmets off I might watch it, oh hang on that's rugby isn't it ? Oh yeah and you have to pass the ball backwards in rugby
 
Went to bed before the end of the first quarter, with the Rams ahead. Looks like it was closer than I expected at that stage, with the Rams winning at the death.

BBC made the disastrous decision to go with an unknown host for their coverage (although anyone is better than Dan Walker) and adding a third, British player from the Buffalo Bills to the usual two pundits/experts/ex players (who used to be quite fun but are now shouty self parodies). This new bloke was like a deer frozen in the headlights, had nothing to say and few words with which to say it.

Sky presentation far slicker. There really hasn't been an outstanding team this season and these two won't enter the pantheon of greats. I gave up at half time when the 'entertainment' allegedly began...

My daughter just made me watch the half-time ****, which I detested. I'm really in danger of becoming an intolerant old git.

Well done for staying up that late, grandad.

The appeal of rap escapes me, but I suspect it was as important as punk in its day, but has been very successfully absorbed into the mainstream.

You're not paying attention mate, we watched it just now on YouTube. I did watch the game until half-time, rooting for the Bengals. I never seem to side with the winners in NFL games.

You still lasted longer than me. I was vaguely pro Bengals as well, but only because I don’t like LA as a place.

Typical of the older generation…..you’ll never understand younger peoples music.

Saying that I thought Snoop, Dre and especially “fiddy” were definitely showing their years

Snoop Dogg is only a year older than Eminem. Who'd have thought that?!

I actually quite enjoyed Eminem, but that's just racist.

I thought musically the show was pretty good, but I liked the stuff and grew up listening to The Chronic…loved Dre.
Didn’t know Em and Snoop were near on same age….Snoop hasn’t aged as well that’s for sure.
Just say no kids

I’ve just said yes to a meal prepared by myself which included 7 cloves of crushed garlic, 3 of them raw.

Well, it is Valentines Day.
