Did anyone watch the NFL superbowl last weekand? Hopefully none of you did because it was a complete waste of time. Who wants to watch some stupid team from pittsburgh win its 5th NFL title in Superbowl XL? I mean yeah I always had the choice of not watching it but I did so I don't really have the right to rant. But I watched the game for the commercials, just like everybody else here does. They sucked and the game didn't turn out with a Seatle win in its first appearence.

Be back for more ranting with a picture later.

American Football is nothing more than poofs Rugby.

And there has never been a convicing arguement as to why you called it football and called real football "soccer", unlike every other country on the planet.

I don't get it either, they're padded up to their eyeballs, have to stop after every tackle and then swap everyone round every few minutes. I'd rather watch Lawrence Dallaglio run someone over to score yet another try for England in the 6 Nations (best try I've seen in ages, the look on the other guys face as he runs into him is priceless)

Also why "Football"? They never touch it with their feet. :<_<:

good question as to why its called football... i mean the kick off or even the field goals in my book dont count as a majority... also handball is taken as well... so what else would it be called?

Frankly i'd rather watch the REAL football... (soccer for those who didnt realize that...) theres more agility to be involved and it takes a much higher level of awareness... the only agile NFL (instead of saying football) player i can think of is Micheal Vick... he got like... 30 yards by using two peoples momentum against themselves and effortlessly shoving them into the dirt then spinning and dodging a few more... and if i remember right he didnt even get tackled he just ran out of bounds

Hate football.

Therefore, the only point there is in watching the Super Bowl as far as I'm concerned is for the commercials. And even then, I didn't watch the SB; I watched all the commercials online.

The various people who vote for which one was the funniest... the entire point of the Super Bowl commercials is to see who can make the most humorous ad. THAT'S why I watch them. It's not like my one calling in life is to watch adverts, I'm just saying - the commercials are more worth it than the football itself, as far as I'm concerned. And it's not really a waste of time when you had nothing better to do anyway having got all your work done 5 hours before you were ready to go to sleep...

I wouldn't call them damned, but they do fucking hate us. By the way, what does that have to do with whether or not some one watched Super Bowl XL?[/b]

I enjoy playing Football (American/Canadian) but watching it can get a tad boring.

I only saw the second half of the game. I don't watch football/handball/whatever-you-want-to-call-it often, but when I do I usually enjoy watching it. *shrugs* That's just me, though.

I reckon Australian Football is better than American

Sure we call it football, but we don't stop every ten seconds and we're not padded up to hell. Nope, we genuinly injure people and the only times we stop are when someone does something they're not ment to do or catches the ball, in which case that lucky person gets to kick it forward or to another person. But then that person has to hope they catch it, cause if they just drag it off the ground they're liable to get knocked down

And there are heaps of pie commericals on during footy games. Who doesn't like pie?

Australian football? I think I saw it on tv once. Does it have a circular pitch? If it's what I'm thinking of, then it was bloody rough! Though there's this game in Ireland that's worse. It looks a bit like hockey (players have sticks) but it's much more like rugby, and it can get REALLY violent. I can't remember the name though, anyone else heard of it?

Well, to the people that call soccer football, the only reason I call the stuff here in america football is because of the fact that I am in America. And to the Steelers fans... go burn in the fiery pits of hell. Cleveland Browns are the only team I really want to see in a SB but I watched it to see a decent game, not a game in which 2 TD's should have been called back. That is because I am of Cleveland and was watching the SB to see a Seattle win since they are underdogs, just like Cleveland. Oh well, lets hope Romeo gets the Browns to do better next season and that the Steelers bomb out of SB XLI.

I have heard of rugby a little. Isn't that more aggressive than American Football? If it is, then I will start watching it because hockey isn't that aggressive anymore. No sport is really aggressive anymore.

Anyone see any decent commercials during the game that they liked?

Indeed, broken bones and bruised kidneys are a common injury (I'm not allowed to play as i only have one), but if anyone is bleeding they're sent to the blood bin, and someone comes on to replace them while they're patched up and given a clean jersy.

You know American football players are bigger on average than rugby players, right?

They have to wear gear because without them, people die and the injury rate goes up exponentially.

Commercials were meh. Colts didn't play so I didn't really care who won.

And FUCK TOM BRADY.

Yep, Aussie football has a circular oval for a thing. With big sticks at either end. The aim of the game is to kick the ball inbetween the two big middle ones, or the two side smaller ones, many times. But no one cares about the smaller ones. They're only 1 point. The big middle ones give 6 points

And every day or so someone gets injured. Or at least that's all the news whines about
