The SuperBowl

Johnnytoxic · 5 Feb 2012 at 20:53

Well, I know nothing about American Football so I always use this time to see what all the fuss is about over in the U.S.

Might put a bet on the Patriots so I can cheer on someone (wise?)

Might watch the 'Egg Throwing'.

I'm going for a Giant's win by 7-12 points @ 11/2

Skillmister · 5 Feb 2012 at 21:22

Never watch HandEgg normally but the superbowl is always fun

No1newts · 5 Feb 2012 at 21:28

Got 2 litres of Lucozade, bag of Doritos and 2 Double Deckers to see me through

Come on Pats!

robfosters · 5 Feb 2012 at 21:30

Wouldn't normally watch either but I have a 6 fold specials bet with Corals and one of the legs is for the Patriots to win by 4 or more points, so will be tooning in.

I see it's on late so I dished myself up a miniature roast in case I start getting hungry.

I always watch and am a Patriots fan so this year is extra exciting

Haven't seen much of the regular season because of work this year either

.

Have a couple of bets on, Pats to win, Brady for MVP, 1st offensive play to be a running play and Wes Welker to score first TD for the patriots. Should make it more interesting.

Got to wake the gf up soon and then get cracking watching it, I've told her to be excited for Madonna playing lol.

Brady for MVP would be a hell of a result. I think there's only one other with three SB MVPs.

Purdy · 5 Feb 2012 at 22:31

Domino's open to 5 on a sunday now?

Well at least thats some consolation to 49ers being out.

Come on Pats.

I'm a Giants fan, so going to stay up for a bit. Working tomorow, so it'll have to be good to stay up till the end!

mithrandir · 5 Feb 2012 at 22:35

If I wasn't working tomorrow I would have stayed up to watch it live

@ OP - I'm sure the BBC will run some good beginners guide clips throughout.

Sky sports just claimed that a 7th of the entire worlds population will be watching the superbowl... I think they meant a 70th

Kutter · 5 Feb 2012 at 22:47

Biggest sporting event of the year over here, and i have to work tonight.

1/70 would be 100,000,000. That's less than a third of the population of the US alone. They meant 1/7.

PESolution · 5 Feb 2012 at 22:58

no they didnt, or if they did they are stupid, you think 1 billion watch it? lol

King Damager · 5 Feb 2012 at 22:59

Presumably I'll be able to watch this on iPlayer tomorrow morning, nice and early, whilst all you suckers are absolutely shattered xD

I would have a guess between 700,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 yes. I certainly think more than a third of America watches it...

Got it on record incase I fall asleep

Anyone know when it starts UK time?

BBC has it listed as 11.25pm but the NFL kick off is on the half hour. So either 11.25pm or 11.30pm.
