During build up cut to Sophie Blake at the "biggest UK Superbowl party", full of 4,000 people Sky probably invited along
then later in the year the game at Wembley which will be watched by tourists, expats and the odd person out of curiosity and Sky giving it its cursory arse-licking
hmmm, skysports big up everything they have - which is good , no sneery gary lineker teking the piss if its not big boy (man utd , arsenal , england , etc, no second division shite for us !!) soccer or golf .. sky's soccer might have share of bbc-esque pat-on-head types (andy gray) but the rest usually get 'up for it' presenters , if the presenters arent bothered - the viewers wont be ...

the game in london might get that what you said , but thats kinda what everybody that wanted it wants or can tolerate if it means the game is here..

some People might have this right sneery 'its not soccer - which is the best - why arse about with owt else?' (usually kinda ironically while supporting football teams like england and any team thats not manutd ) which i cant see the benefit of being elitist like that about , coz there is no point ..

'You' dont give shit 'Other People' think soccer's shite , so 'Other People' wont give a shit 'you' dont like what they like ..

Eh??

I voted for the Colts before the game, making it 2-1 (demostrating the huge interest American football produces here). The smart money was always on the Colts as I may have mentioned to American Trotter - who may have committed suicide by now.

feck Peyton Manning. Prick.

That is all.

It was alright until about half time, then Manning seemed to just gain first downs with ease with 15 yard passes.

My mate bet on the Bears at 2/1, couldn't believe it when they scored from the kick off. Could believe it later on though ;)

Would have been rooting for the Bears as one of my friends stateside is an exiled Bears fan in LA. Flicked on to see the score briefly and noticed the Bears 7-0 up inside 20 seconds, which took me aback somewhat! Missed the game, though, and only been reading the reports on it this morning.

Crap game. Turnovers galore. The Bears lost because they couldnt figure out how to stop the same 5-10 yard passes all night long.
