i know you people hate it, but...its the biggest sports day of the year in the united states today. it's superbowl sunday. basically, there are pregame shows on all day, then the game starts at 3 p.m. pacific time. its an excuse for people to stay at home and drink beer all day hahaha. but the best thing about it is all the commercials, some of them are awesome

Never watched the Super Bowl before, came to a conclusion about Yank Football:
It's utter sh*te buts its compelling viewing |
||
| Chrissy Canadian |
hehe, well yeah thats' exactly what i always hear americans saying about english football (or soccer) but they dont say its compelling  
|
||
| wewantourdarbyback |
american football (Gridiron would be its propper name) is waaaay to stop start to be as compelling as real football | ||
| Chrissy Canadian |
yeah i agree with you totally, but to each their own. it's what you grew up with i think. we get hockey non-stop here and it's what we all grew up watching every saturday night in canada, so it's ingrained in us. it's cool to watch sports from other places too. i went to see an australian rules football game live and found it very exciting | ||
| Chrissy Canadian |
the team that went undefeated all year (new england) is now trailing the new york jets by 3 points... | ||
| wewantourdarbyback |
yeah but Ice Hockey Rocks
Wayne Gretzky is one of my heroes |
||
| Chrissy Canadian |
yeah he sure did a lot for the sport world-wide that's for sure
|
||
| Chrissy Canadian |
we always used to love watching the fights in hockey when we were kids lol. used to come running to see them
|
||
| wewantourdarbyback |
Its the New York Giants chrissy
|
||
| Chrissy Canadian |
ooops lol sorry i keep getting those 2 confused haha | ||
| wewantourdarbyback |
nice
The Jets havent won the championship since Super Bowl III
|
||
| Chrissy Canadian |
oh well. neither of them actually play in new york anyway... | ||
| Chrissy Canadian |
|
||
| wewantourdarbyback |
a sport where people are more interested in the adverts .. says it all
|
||
| Chrissy Canadian |
new england looks like they're gonna win now. just went up 4 points ahead with 2 minutes left (which takes about 20 minutes to play) haha | ||
| Chrissy Canadian |
yeah, its a total industry in the states, they pay millions for it |
||
| wewantourdarbyback |
Giants have 3 time outs and a first down on the 39 (he says quoting the commentators) so they can still do it | ||
| Chrissy Canadian |
lol yep. i would like them to win actually
|
||
| wewantourdarbyback |
i support NY in any amercan sports so i'm supporting the giants
fantastic throw then
|
||
| wewantourdarbyback |
17-14 Giants 
|
||
| wewantourdarbyback |
well there you go
Giants win 
|
||
| Chrissy Canadian |
yeah so cool. it was a huge upset love it when that happens | ||
| Chrissy Canadian |
this is cool... eli manning of the new york giants won with his team this year and last year, his brother payton manning of indianapolis won. their father, archie was a football player too, so i guess they are one happy family

i regretted watching it this morning, and so did at least one other member of my design group when we met up at 10 | ||
| Chrissy Canadian |

||
| wewantourdarbyback |
