Stutopia Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Have we got any gridiron fans on here? I've watched the super bowl for many years, no clue as to the game but mainly as an excuse to drink and eat. The last few years I've started to watch regular season games, play fantasy NFL and generally get more into the game - I must admit I find it an enjoyable alternative to the endless premier league coverage and who doesn't like cheerleaders? Sunday evening is also a good slot to wind down the weekend with some sports. This Sunday I can't see past the Panthers and Cam Newton but Peyton might turn up for one last hurrah. Anywho, I'll be attending my traditional super bowl party this weekend, anyone else tuning in? Quote
Ekona Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 If they played it on a Saturday night so I didn't have to go to work the next day, I'd love to watch it Quote
Paddy78 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 If they played it on a Saturday night so I didn't have to go to work the next day, I'd love to watch it This. I usually get to midnight (when nothing has actually happened) and decide to do the sensible thing. Just doesn't seem the same recording and watching on Monday night. Quote
DoogyRev Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I am gonna watch it . . .if there is nothing else more interesting to do on a Sunday afternoon 1 Quote
Stutopia Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Yeah the time sucks, I take Monday off to allow an unhurried start to the week and for a gentle expulsion of 3kgs of red meat. You getting into any of the other North American sports Doogy? Quote
DoogyRev Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 American Football is very boring, so I might watch the Super Bowl if I am bored. I watch more Ice Hockey (Canucks) and keep an eye on the Soccer (football to you) (WhiteCaps) . . Baseball . . hell no Quote
Guest Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Oh yeah, having my annual futile Superbowl party here in Leeds, the 1 no one wants to come to, tee hee. Have stocked up on Buds n Coors, cheap hot dogs, chips, tequila & vodka shots for half time etc, Mrs K despairs, football, whistles & rattle all lined up as props. It's my annual joke party, poorly attended, until 2 years ago as a suprise all the Le Mans boys and more drove up from Essex & Surrey, mega effort. Quote
Stutopia Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Wahey! Mine's in Leeds too. It's clearly the gridiron capital of the U.K. Quote
Brummiestormer Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Big 49ers fan--been to a few games in the states and wembley matches---i'd like the Broncos to win but wouldn't mind if the Panthers won tbh just hoping for a good game! Quote
JetSet Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Not for me I'm afraid. Nor me, it's on for 5 hours, 4 of which will be adverts Pete Quote
docwra Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Just putting my ribs onto marinade, got wings to sort out as well. Been a fan since the early 80's when we used to listen to it on USAF radio. Similarly cant see past the Panthers, hope its a bit closer than last years game Quote
GizmoGold Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I'm yet to find anyone else who'll stay up to watch it 😔 only started being a fan of the game last October when I went to a Wembley game and loved it since! I'm hoping to go to America this year to watch a few college football games Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
brillomaster Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 doesnt seem that super to be able to bowl 50... normally i can get over 100 in a game? #deliberatelyignorant 1 Quote
jimboy2 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I wish they did it on a Saturday night for us. i will be starting work at 5am on Monday morning. Will probably still be playing! Quote
Guest Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Ok, hands up, I may have broken into the Coors whilst the rugby was on. I would also like to apologize in advance for Coldplay at half time, not a patch on Bruce, heh ho, at least Beyonce might jiggle her pom poms. Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I can just about put up with watching rugby not knowing the rules but NFL I have no idea whatsoever. The most tedious sport IMO is cricket I can't stand it. My closest NFL experience was collecting the little cards and team helmets as a kid, I can't remember if they came with sweets or not Quote
Stutopia Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Disappointed. Managed to stay up despite the super bowl drinking game taking a very heavy toll. Gutted for Cam, the Panthers were rubbish and somehow the whole Denver D dragged Peyton to a new ring. Quote
GT4 Zed Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 It was a tense affair. Not the best game ever. Best defence against best offence. Watched most of the game and enjoyed it. I'm a convert since last year and that's something as I find rugby very boring. Quote
docwra Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Awesome D from both teams, shame the offences werent up to the challenge. Pleased to see Denver win but it could have been a better game, particularly after some of the playoffs Made it through until the end though and sill got to work today, at 1200 admittedly Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Not for me I'm afraid. +1 I know that feeling! Quote
