Doubt you'll find much people who care on this site. I love football, I watched it and I'm glad the Ravens won.

That damn power outage caused my night shift to drag till nearly 5AM, dammit! But well, the end was quite interesting, I mean I have no idea who came up with the idea to concede a safety, but that was sheer genius. What I don't get is why the 49ers didn't kneel to go for a hail mary.
Well, that's very mature and civilized.FelixG said:

Thanks for your wise words of wisdom. Unfortunatley this does not hold from the fact that Hand Egg sucks. So by all means, stuff your face with cheese nachos and soda while you get advertised at every 5 mins for stuff you don't need, while watching your rugby for girls on steroids (actual steroids, you don't get like that naturally) while you all dance about smacking each others arses in a red white and blue glitter explosion waving your flags and shouting 'murica.
Yours Sincerely

ps. See... Generalising, its not nice is it?
British, and know nothing about American football beyond it involves people running into each other. I'm fairly certain I would have had to stay up until some God-awful hour in the morning to watch it anyway!
Hockey is my sport. Football is just too boring to sit and watch. There's just way too many stoppages in play.
I watch it every year because I'm a big football fan. Sure my team the Carolina Panthers didn't even make it close to the playoffs this year, but the Superbowl is last time to watch football until the pre-season kicks in during the fall. Having to go all spring and all summer with no football means I've got to get my fix in while I can.
Plus it's always interesting to watch the competition for the title of best Superbowl ad. You get to watch a load of creative people go head to head to see who can make the best most memorable 30 second spot.

I'm a huge football fan in general (chiefs are my team but they suck) so i love watching the superbowl, and have never missed one of them. It's also a great time to hang out with your friends and drink alot of beer.
Also, mocking the name of football like an elementary school nerd isn't going to change it's name.

American here! I don't care for sports, so I have no reason to ever watch a Super Bowl. Shit, if you're only in it for the commercials, they
A.) tend to air before the Super Bowl now
2.) Will be online the next day
so why are you watching?!
Also, the only reason I had any interest in the Super Bowl this year because Miracle of Sound documented his reactions to the first one he seen, and it was hilarious. (evidently one of the teams was the New York Yankees and they were all a bunch of tight & armor wearing pussies)

Having little understanding of American Football, I watched the Super Bowl because I wanted an excuse to drink on a Sunday night.
I really like the theatre around sport in the US. We could really learn a lot from that kind of spectacle cos generally even the big sporting events here don't carry that kind of atmosphere and we get stuck with dull pundits and the like.
But the actual game is so, so boring. Constantly stopping. Every time it starts to gain some momentum it cuts out again. And it just seems like a constant run of set plays. I had to give up after the first quarter anyway cos it was getting late but even then I don't think I'd have been able to get through all of it.
I get the feeling it'd be something I'd enjoy much more if I was actually in the US, watching with a bunch of people getting really into it.
But lol you sound like such a stereotypical British sports fan

I needed a distraction from this to be honest thoughSckizoBoy said:
It used to have much more. But then some rules got changed, and kicking the ball became less useful. Or something like that.SckizoBoy said:

While I had to stay at work for a lot longer than I'd have to because of that outage, I kind of feel for whoever was responsible for stadium maintenance. They're going to be a very, very, very unpopular person for a while.oppp7 said:ITT nerds trying to prove how nerdy they are by dissing football.
OT: Ravens fan I guess. First game I really watched. It was alright but I still think that power outage was intentional.
We lost so much momentum.
I was Ravens fan last night, but I wouldn't mind either way. Honestly, I hear a lot people here bash sports. However, it's nice to hang with friends, have a beer/wings/anything else and bond over something that's simple. You could have a simple good night to an unforgettable experience.
I'm sure you guys had something similar with video games.

=P Understandable... though knowing Les Bleus, they'll come to the British Isles and go back leaving a trail of blood! (And I mean that in the nicest possible way!)AnarchistFish said:
Which British stereotype you referring to, there're plenty: French-hating? American-hating? Upper-class snob-type? Football hooligan? Which one? So many!
To be fair, though... when I wrote that post, I was channelling a bit of all of 'em!
