Superbowl

Hahahahahah!!! The stupid Patriots' perfect season was RIPPED out from under them!!!! Wiped that shxte eating grin right off of Brady's face. If any team deserved to lose in such a big way, it was them. I don't really care for the Giants either, but they were the lesser of 2 evils in this case. That said, it was a great game. Edge of your seat at the end.

How can any game that has 1 hour of actual play but takes over 2 hours to finish be great? Squads the size of armies, more protection on one player than the US DoD gave to it's entire army and team wages that could pay off the US national debt? Sorry not my cup of tea.

Agreed. Not my idea of a sport either. Bunch of guys having to wear so much padding is silly. They should play a rugby game against one of the 6 nations teams and see how tough they are then!

And yeah, American Football (silly name, should be called American handball, or American Rugby, maybe even Rugby for wimps) is so slow and boring.

Sorry LowercaseE, but most from the UK and Europe just don't get most US sports. Too slow, boring and stat heavy, without much actual action.

I know you guys aren't into it, much the same way that I'm not into Soccer. I can appreciate the athleticism involved, the actual sport just does nothing for me. That said, I'm just thrilled that the Patriots (who many in the US media think are the greatest thing since sliced bread) got a potential record tying victory snatched out from under them.

[Harrison]

Well yeah, it is always good when the hyped team from any sport get a great victory pulled from under them at the last minute.

Much like in Formula One last year when McLaren lost the drivers championship by 1 point after leading the championship all year.

Was quite hard to stay with it after almost two full quarters without score but definately worth the effort. What a finish and what a result.

I think there's room to enjoy both sports (and Rugby League as well). All have their own challenges and just as I think NFL stars would be upstaged in international rugby, so would international rugby stars be out of their depth in top flight American Football.
