Superbowl LI

[rich p]

Can I just say I hate American football? It's so fecking boring. Does anyone know how Scotland got on in the rugby yesterday?

They lost.

I follow NFL on and off, I'm a Bears fan. I won't be watching as I have work in the morning, but I've done it before and I wish I could more often, it's a great spectacle.
I'll be half rooting for the Falcons just because they're not often in the hunt for the silverware.

While I do like American Football I can't stand watching it live.

Too many breaks in the play.

Cowboys fan myself and will be watching it later in the week

Since it became the best sports programme I'd say. Irrespective of whether one's an NFL lover or not, it's an easy programme to like with the presenter lineup they have

Easily the best sports programme on the box. The show's host and his two pundits have a great chemistry and clearly have a lot of fun doing it.

Here we go!

Am i the only one here who can't see that little brown ball? No matter where it is on the field of play my eyes can't follow it.

Where the feck is it?!

 

[psmiffy]

just enjoy watching a good game no matter who's playing.

Ditto - I was watching/following the Falcons up until the playoffs - only ever watch the first half of the bowl - Falcons doing OK

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Half time, the Falcons are up 21 - 3, what's gone wrong with Tom Brady and the Patriots??
Lady Gaga's doing her thing now, pretty good so far.

Cannae see how they cannae just spin a few old Cliff Richard and Shakin' Stevens records at HT and get on with it.

Devil Woman and Green Door would do the job.

Falcons defence has been good to watch. They are deservedly ahead.

what's gone wrong with Tom Brady and the Patriots

The Falcons defense has been brilliant - Ryan has loadsa people to throw to as well - plus Freeman

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Oh well, an even later than expected night.

 

[RWright]

Guess who fell asleep at the end of the third quarter, and I am not talking about the Falcon coaches.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

I'm stunned at how the Patriots turned that game around. How could the Falcons blow such a massive lead?? Why the heck didn't they go for the field goal in the 3rd Q?
I really thought they had it in the bag but Brady's team just came alive with the most amazing push back. Highly entertaining, even though my team lost.

 

[psmiffy]

yup shouldn't have gone to bed at half time - was on a win win anyway - was following the Falcons this season because the games were mainly at a convenient time - and was following the Patriots last season for similar reasons
