Super Bowl

Anyone watching it tonight? I've never watched American football before but I've taken it upon myself to learn the rules. I think I know them anyway

I'll be watching - I wanted Atlanta to get through, but will support the Ravens tonight

I've booked tomorrow off work as well

Might watch a bit of it but will probably record it. The commercials and half time show do my head in. Will be hoping 49ers win it. Was hoping the Broncos would get there this season

I watch it sometimes. Probably wont tonight.

Its Shit

Shall be watching.

Have topped up my knowledge of NFL in recent days and am looking forward to a cracking event.

Yeah watching it later 49ers to win

Can't wait, massive NFL fan

I love the NFL but this game is too late for me.

Had a fiver on the ravens at the start of the playoffs - so I obviously want them.

The young 49's QB may have his work cut out with Ray lewis in his last game.....

I have no clue what any of you are on about
I just about know the rules but don't have a clue about what goes on in the NFL. How does the league work?

in the NFL there are 32 teams
these teams are split into 2 conferences the AFC and NFC 16 teams in each
each conference has 4 divisions of 4 teams each

the regular season is played for 17 weeks each team playing 16 games with one 'bye' week.

after this you have the playoffs 6 teams from each conference at least one from every division will compete in the play-offs

the play offs is a 12 team elimination tournament with the 8 winners of each division, 4 from each conference and 4 wild card teams 2 from each conference.

the playoffs consist of 4 rounds, wild card round, divisional round, conference championships and the super bowl

the 3 big games are the 2 conference championships which decide who wins each conference, AFC Champion and NFC Champion, then the Super Bowl played between the AFC Champions and the NFC Champions that decides who wins the NFL.

My town with the supporting areas has about 100k Americans. So im off out in a bit meeting some mates in the pub, and watching the game with some hot wings!

Will be watching. Thankfully afternoons this week so worked out well.

Shouting for the Ravens and Ray Lewis.

ravens to win by a 7-12 point margin 6/1

absolute CRAP!

The sport (which is shit anyway) comes second to the hype and showcasing around it. load of old nonsence.....

Been an NFL fan since the late eighties and the Dolphins are my fave NFL team, so I'll be watching tonight same as every other year. Rooting for the Ravens too as Ray Lewis is a huge character and one of the great linebackers in the game. Nice to see him retire with another championship ring.

Im a Raven through an through... What a way for Ray Lewis to bow out by winning another super bowl and taking it back to Baltimore!!

HOW IRONIC THAT SOME OF YOU LOT AGAINST THE REBRAND AND MODERN FOOTBALL ARE WATCHING THE CAPITAL OF ALL FRANCHISE SPORTS, AMERICAN FOOTBALL? YOU COULDN'T MAKE THIS UP, IT'S HILARIOUS.

Sorry for actually liking the sport of American Football. Yes I do follow a team, and I actually got to watch a live game just before Christmas in America but it's more the sport than the actual set up of clubs. Just because the teams are franchised doesn't mean I shouldn't follow the game.

What time is kick off?

used to watch it alot when i was a kid...

after going on a family holiday to florida, we drove up to jacksonville and took in a game...

it was the jaguars v the 49ers... i think it was the most boring sporting event of my life... it lasted what seemed like all day, but was stop, start and so on.. the actual game play in the 4 15min quarters was shocking... almost 3 & half hrs for the whole game experience.

most exciting moments were the budwieser birds, a huge f**k off hotdog and a couple of jets flying over before the start!

I enjoy the NFL but I despise the two teams tonight.
I don't really enjoy Golf but do not find the need to call others out in all caps because they have different taste.

What time is kick off?

11.30 PM .

im a huge steelers fan, but as its ray lewis's last game, it would be the fairytale story for the ravens to win, so loyalty aside im going for him.

Wish they'd hurry up and kick off...

All this corny American shit is gonna make me spew!

San Fran have been my team since the 80's - the good old days Montanna - Rice etc.

Waited a long time to see the 49's back in the superbowl,going to be tough tonight,but would give this up for City to be promoted.
