Bill 13,717 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Apart from being a contradiction in terms, American football has to be the most over-hyped borefest on the planet. Or there's Nascar. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,251 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 As usual fell asleep but there again was watching BBC coverage,therefore no advertising breaks just boring talk in between plays. There is something good about advert breaks after all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or there's Nascar. Its a game you very much have to understand and get into. I am a fan of it, I watched it a lot as a kid from a young age on the old Channel 4 on a sunday night. Did a stadium tour of Buffalo Bills which was great - that was the team I started to support when I was young. Coincidentally it was at a time where they broke a record for 4 superbowl runners up in a row (89-93 seasons). Since coming to Asia Ive not had the coverage and the time zone is a nightmare so Ive not watched it so much, but I could easily sit and watch a full match. I do get the American antics about it though, they do tend to think its the biggest show on earth when the Champions League and World cup blows it away. As for the result - I certainly would have back the Eagles, I said to a yank in the bar last night that Philadelphia would win. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacK1950 2,251 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Think Gribz reply was a general one and not personally aimed at you,hope I am not wrong and the use of the word you is like the Royal we. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Never watched it. Havent seen a snap all season. But I did empty my Betfair account on the "over 48" - easy money. Patriots are never involved in low-scoring Superbowls. Like taking sweeties off a baby. Glad the Patriots lost - don't like that franchise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its regularly heard on radio etc that people dont have a club what is going on. Also some just dont like the start stop of it, yesterdays superbowl last 2 minutes took about 8 minutes. Personally I like it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
