Them Green Bay Packers!  What did I tell you all?  I knew they would make it to the Superbowl, and I fully expect them to win it, just like they did when I was in Nursery... :o

A formiddable lineup for Feb 6

The superbowl?  But it's February, it's not done with yet?

That appears to be the winners of the 1998 Bowl, eh?

Well, after having watched the playoffs, I have to say that this is going to be one of the most competitive games ever. I fancy Pittsburgh's chances rather more than Green Bay's, but I could see it going either way with the last team to have the ball ending up the winner on a last second field goal. :)

It has been a few years now since the Super Bowl was moved to the first Sunday in February. Just like every other sport, they want to make the season just as long as possible for those $$$. Look at baseball; if the World Serious goes 7 games, it now ends in November!  :o  Now that is a travesty!

I was under the impression that the official name is the Stuporbowl, no?

Some years it is. Depends who is playing. It won't be this year. Anyway, I don't care if I'm the only one here who enjoys it, I'll watch happily. I like American football. I like world football too. Neither one has the interest that golf has, but not much one can do about that. :)

I'll be watching. I don't have a favorite to root for, but I'm expecting to enjoy what should be an exciting close game.

Superbowl 45.  It is live on BBC1 in the UK.
Now I will watch the Steelers get packed the hell back to Pittsburgh.   8)

Early times yet (halftime to be precise) but the Packers are looking good. A couple of critical injuries though could make the 2nd half look a lot different. Good game so far... :)

I've never understood the American fascination with sports. They put more stock into this low-brow form of entrainment than they do the arts. Sometimes I feel completely at odds with other Americans and not just about something as trivial as sports, but life in general.
