Re: NFL thread
 

Will any Forum members be watching Super Bowl XLII* tonight?

The Patriots are a magnificent team, four appearances in the past few years, undefeated this year, Tom Brady on form. The Giants had a poor start to the season but finished well (obviously!) and might have unstoppable momentum. The two teams met a few weeks ago, and it was a very close game. This one could be a nail-biter.

Do you need more reasons to watch the greatest spectacle on Earth? OK, the Giants have two ex-Brits on their team. The halftime show is usually pretty good (remember Ms Jackson?). Even the ads are worth watching, although I wonder if they'll be shown on BBC2? BBC2!

Pull up a comfy chair, invite your pal Jack Daniels, and enjoy!


* the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I'll be watching and supporting the Patriots, who i think will have a bit too much for the Giants, hopefully it will be a good game :)

Re: NFL thread

Re: NFL thread
 

Wow, what a game!

And the NFL are coming to London again!!

There was even talk of the Super Bowl coming to London!!!

Re: NFL thread
 

i tried to watch it and i just couldnt watch the stop/start play style they had 15 mins or so and in that spent most of the time in a huddle having a chat :)
im sure its a good game but ive been trying to watch it for 15 odd years now and just cant bring my self to enjoy it :(

Re: NFL thread
 

I know what you mean, but this is part of the attraction of the game - plenty of thinking time, a bit like chess.

Perhaps you prefer a fast-paced game like five-day cricket...:erm:

Re: NFL thread
 

I tpersonally think the stop start nature of teh game is a massive attraction. Not just because it adds to the strategic element of the match, but it means that attneding a match is a (relatively) all day event. You probably need to go to a game to truly appreciate this.

I have friends who live in the States and they tell me that going to watch a game is an amazing experience. Big build up, barbeques and the like in the carparks, great atmosphere in the stands etc etc. I don't know how much of that is true, but the stop starting adds to the atmosphere, allowing viewers to catch their breath too.

Re: NFL thread
 

Can somebody tell me how the yanks get off on calling themselves the "world champions"?????

A game that only themselves and Canada play at a professional level. The best in the world - fair enough but only because nobody else plays it.

World champions my ****

Re: NFL thread
 

World champion = best in the world.

If you want to get heated up, there is always Miss Universe.

Re: NFL thread
 

Well if it makes them feel any better.

Is the Superbowl actually billed as the World Championship???

If so is there a standing invite from the NFL for other teams from other countries to join?

Re: NFL thread
 

I don't know - I was responding to your post!

Re: NFL thread
 

No, if you check the NFL site there isn't any references to "World Championships"

There did use to be a World Bowl that was part of the "World League of American Football", this had teams from Europe, America and Canada. The league later became NFL Europe which ceased in 2007.
