The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

[Countryside Villain]

I received my Superbowl Superbash tickets in the post this morning.  Now just need to find somewhere to continue the drinking at 3am on a Monday morning.

Also trying to decide whether to get ticktes to the Wembley game.  Go on sale on Monday.

Monday ?

I bought mine yesterday.

I'm behind one of the goals this time. This might be a better perspective from which to watch NFL

I've been off-line for a week and nobody has posted any Superbowl predictions?

It's about to start in 20 minutes......pulling for the Saints, but not overly bothered.

Anyone know who are the underdogs?

Anyone know who are the underdogs?

Paddy Power have the Colts at 1/4 and Saints at 5/2.

[VillaZogmariner]

Colts by 20 points.

[OCD]

I think Manning will lead the Colts to victory but I'm rooting for the Saints after what New Orleans has been through over the past few years.

[OCD]

5 seconds after posting, Manning throws for a touchdown.

[gerags]

What a td ! Superb !

[stevo_st]

Yep, this 'football' ain't bad.  Fully behind the saints

[gerags]

The Colts have just ripped straight trough them.

It's turning into a good game - pity I have to turn in for work in the morning :(

Anyone else think the coverage is a bit weird on the BBC because they cannot show adverts?  They keep returning to the studio for these little chats.

Strangely on the US coverage they've just announced that you can re-watch all the adverts after the show on XXXXX website.  They must be good adverts.

[gerags]

The Superbowl half time advert is the biggest/most expensive advertising space in the world.

Watching the advert is almost as big as the game these days.

[Warren Aspinall]

Saints win, to be fair they deserved it.

Can't believe they didn't play "My Generation". The game was good though congratulations Saints.
