Stephen Morris Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Right, I'm sure you all know from watching the Simpsons and Friends, but the Superbowl is taking place this Sunday. As far as I'm aware it's the climax to the NFL's (American Football's) league. It's on ITV2 and Sky Sports kate at night and I was wondering whether or not anybody will be watching it. My best mate is now in Boston, MA at Berklee school of music, and since he's been in the USA I've started taking an interest in American culture - basketball, "football," and baseball. Basically, American Football is really good, I'd definitely say I prefer it to rugby or cricket. I know they wear loads of padding and armour, but as a sport I prefer it as its more entertaining than most other sports I've seen. I've bought me Madden '05 on the PS2 and I pretty much know all the rules! Anyway, will anybody else be watching the Superbowl? Do you know the rules? I'd really like to play American Football sometime, I wouldn't mind playing basketball and baseball at least once too. Anyway I'm rambling - bye bye.

giptown Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I love American football, and try to watch the NFL as much as possible on SkySports. However, i will miss the Super Bowl this year as i'm going skiing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philth Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 The only reason I watch any of it is for the halftime or quarter time advers. Becasue it cost companys, stupid money tlike 1million dollars a second, so they come up with some fantastic adds...bloody funny (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_rocks Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I'd really like to play American Football sometime ← We should have a T-F game of american football in the summer. In hyde park or something. I've also been watching it lately, on channel 5 at night time (i dont have sky), but they never show full games. Hopefully I'll be able to see the superbowl somehow.

MrMonkey Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 NFL is so lame, it's rugby with alot of padding. And the only reason they say it hurts more is because of all the metal padding, and helmets. That's why NFL players are scared of playing rugby. NHL Is cool though, I watched a programme about the NHL players who are there to fight. They are f**king nutters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Lite_Rider Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 i'll be wtaching it on sky, i hope and think NE will win it but the falcons have been playing rather well lately. i also have madden 05 and think its really good shame no online mode.

ScotchDave Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I have played american football afore, and I don't understand the padding? You don't get hit any harder than at rugby. So I stuck with rugby, also partly because rugby has more "flow" to it as opposed to this tactical stop start stuff. Anyone care to explain the rules?

Royaltrials Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) American football is good fun to play, though I dislike how it is so stop-start. Rugby is loads better, and also much more British. I hate all that fake American patriotism. On a side note: Cha-Ching!

Stephen Morris Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Right I'm watching the game now and it's been pretty good so far. It's currently New England Patriots 7 - 7 Philidelphia Eagles (not Falcons) The only reason I watch any of it is for the halftime or quarter time advers. Becasue it cost companys, stupid money tlike 1million dollars a second, so they come up with some fantastic adds...bloody funny :( ← You'll be a bit dissapointed unless you're watching on an American television. You're not going to see the American adverts over here are you, use your head boy! As for the rules, if I can be bothered I'm may explain them tomorrow. Stephen.

Shaun H Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Americans are so damn weird. What the hell do they think they look like in those little picture clip thingys. Some of them are like doing peace signs whilst another seems to be very worried about his hair... :( A friend told me to watch this because it'll be "really good". How I'm feeling in one word? Unimpressed. For me this really is boring, admittedly I'm not watching properly but even so, I don't have to be paying proper attention to know a good football or rugby game. This has simply fueled my hate of Americans lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
