The Superbowl

[hobbes]

Wow, the pregame show and the ethnic diversity involved was fantastic.

It really underlines that racial tolerance and cultural diversity are on target in America.

It is very heartening to see both black (their ancestors were slaves) and white players crying during the singing of the National Anthem.

This event is so much bigger than the game itself as displayed by Geroge Bush Senior and Bill Clinton coming out together.

We are all bound by something deeper than simple party politics.

I have never watched a game of American Football (Read:Rugby :P ) in my life but i might give this one a go. I like the eagles because they had Will Smith saying they were gonna win a second ago.

BTW how long are these matches im not staying up all night

On the UK version they had an English football couch and a former pro rugby player commenting on the match :lol:

Can you get them from MFI? :huh:

[hobbes]

The game is just a triviality in comparison to what the event means to the country.

[manker]

Can you get them from MFI? :huh:I found an American one :unsure:

I'm trying to work out if you're being ironic. :unsure:

[(>Zero Cool<)]

Bit of a messy scrappy game so far. Not easy to call. :huh:

Though that isn't a bad thing as I used to watch the game when it was soooo one sided it was hardly an event. :no:

[TheDave]

racial tolerance and cultural diversity suck.

[100%]

I watched one screening of the superbowl once - houston oilers
I fell asleep

so who won?

[Busyman]

Patriots won

24 - 21

[SingaBoiy]

That was a pretty good game. Eagles clock management sucks though.

[brotherdoobie]

I'm trying to work out if you're being ironic. :unsure:

Of course not...

Peace bd

[SingaBoiy]

They shouldn't have it so late at night.

Everybody knows it will last for 3 or 4 hours, so why wait till midnight to start. It's just flippin' stupid.

More people would watch it if you started late afternoon or early evening.
.... :blink: midnight?

Started @ 3:30pm here. Local time for the game was 6:30pm... ;)

Reely? Me and my mate Rod are totally hooked on American football, I've been fishing around the BT sites to get a download.

The Houston Oilers never went to the Super Bowl :blink:

I was born and raised there. We were on the other hand screwed out of the Super Bowl on two occasions though. Once in '79 where the ref said a receiver (can't recall the name) was out of bounds on a touchdown, where the replay proved otherwise. And again in '94 when we played the Bills and a touchdown of Don Beebe's was called "good" when in fact, he had one foot out of bounds. :angry:

What does the event actually mean then?

For non sports fans such as myself it means absolutely nothing.

[Guillaume]

It's the quintessential meaning of what it means to be an American.

What? Running like mad, while trying to crush everyone else under your weight? :unsure:

[hobbes]

It is a single touchstone which connects us all, irrespective of of who we are, what we have or where we are. The more touchstones a society has the healthier it is.

The Super Bowl actually extends far beyond sportfans and it is not the game which is important, it is the event. Many people gather together and watch the pre-game show and halftime and commericials and may or may not pay attention to the game.

It is a time for everyone to forget about their troubles and pretend that football is something important, if just for a few hours.

What a way to disagree soley for the purpose of disagreement. Sheesh, stop being a twit. :dry:

[hobbes]

Hang fire there tiger, a joke's a joke but you've gone way too far this time.

I think an apology is in order.

Perhaps "twit" means something to you, that it does not to me. Twit to me is a "play" insult, to indicate mild annoyance, but not anger. The smilie was there for assistance as well.

To me you could substitute:

"Stop disagreeing for no reason than to disagree, Mr. Poo-Poo Potty Pants

The statements are equivalent.


But then again, you could have been just joking :angry:

[hobbes]

Or indeed fishing.

That is anti-American!

I actually looked up the word twit and it means "fool". That was a bit harsher than I had intended. I had never actually looked up the definition of that word.

I figured it could be truly offensive elsewhere. Kind of like you guys use the word "twat" quite casually. Too me, that is one of the most offensive, vulgar words one can cast at another. Fightin' words.

[hobbes]

See edit above, and I want a full point.

[hobbes]

Are you posting in instalments again, twat.


Ooer Missus! :blink:
