Super bowl 50

[xslavearcx]

Anybody watching?

I took a day holiday for tomorrow to recover without the demands of work. But checked my calendar there and found I've also scheduled an important meeting for tomorrow . . .

 

[Ranbay]

yeah

Osborne jets to the Super Bowl – sponsored by, er, Google

George seems to be there.

 

[belboid]

Bloody Coldplay for the halftime show? Disgraceful

Yeah that is pretty bad. .

 

[xslavearcx]

As is that!

 

[xslavearcx]

To be fair if the panthers are as far ahead as I think they will be by half time there might be no need to endure Coldplay

 

[xslavearcx]

I wanna see peyton manning doing more of this. . .

 

[mack]

Unfortunately gotta get up stupidly early tomorrow.. gonna download it and watch it without the ads and h/t shower of shit show.

Just out of interest why the fuck don't they play the game on a Saturday?

[xslavearcx]

Dunno why it's on Sunday. It's a shit day Imo.

No its not its super. Super sunday.

Shit for us because of the time difference. For Americans its an evening most can watch it because they are off work.

TV. Saturday night is a comparatively poor night for TV figures, people go out and do stuff. Most fans want it on the Saturday, so they have time for thehangoverto wear off.

Equivalent to fans over here wanting to preserve Saturday 3pm kickoffs v tv demands then. .

 

[Pingu]

[belboid]

Blimey, that man of the season award is an ugly looking oddity

 

[Steel Icarus]

I watch the first bit of this every year, never really much idea what's going on, but thoroughly enjoyable nevertheless. I pick Panthers simply cos their mascot is called Sir Purr

Jackonville have the best mascot in American Football. It will be quite some time before you'll see him in a Superbowl though. As much as i like them they are pants.

 

[brogdale]

Are they only allowed to play for 10 seconds at a time?
Lot's of standing around?

 

[binka]

i dont really want to listen to what martin o'neill has to say

I presume all the gaps are for their adverts?

 

[xslavearcx]

Most of the gaps between plays preceeded tv and radio coverage so an intrinsic part of the game. Although when possession goes from one team to another they can have tv time outs (for ads)

 

[belboid]

Well, this isn't going to way it's supposed to so far.

the gaps are already there because of the nature of the game but they are deliberately lengthened so they can fit more adverts in

 

[xslavearcx]

Bad call by ref Imo that was a catch. Is there some stage fright happening with panthers?

 

[xslavearcx]

Doesn't happen for every play though. But yeah it does happen. No ads on sides of pitch or on players tops though

 

[Lord Camomile]

Holy fuck, Newton knows he has to release the ball at some point, right?!

 

[binka]

tbh id rather watch adverts than listen to endless shite from the studio as they desperately try to fill time

 

[Lord Camomile]

So we're not even going to see/hear the taunting that incurred the penalty? Rubbish game!

 

[xslavearcx]

Definitely. The adverts don't interrupt the flow in the way that the pundits do. I watching this on nfl game pass just now.

 

[Gromit]

Taunting?

When did American football become so wimpy?

15 yards for a bit of sledging!
