I've tried to watch it before and it's not that it's too complicated, I understand the rules, it's just incredibly boring and tideous to watch! No flow to the game, whistle blows every 5 seconds gets on my nerves!!

Calling the winner world champions is f***ing ridiculous.
They're Superbowl champions. Simple as that.
It's not as good as football but American rugby is still a top sport. Looking forward to this although I'll only watch about an hour before bed! Catch up with the rest of the game tomorrow.

Apart from the fact they touch the ball with their hands American Football bares no resemblance to Rugby what so ever imo.
For me I love American Football as much as Football but find Rugby to one of the most dullest sports ever invented.

It's more like rugby than football. Should be called american rugby. They drag each other to the ground, throw an egg shaped ball and only kick for KO and for conversions whatever they're called in this sport. It's nothing like football!

Baltimore for me
Gonna be really hard for a rookie QB to win it and Joe Flacco a decent triggerman
Ray Lewis for MVP around 10/1 not a bad shout

Thats as bad as the Americans telling us to call football 'Soccer'
Who are they to tell us what to call our sport.

Abort, retry, fail
The game didn't originate from Rugby though!

Didn't we call it soccer before them? It derives from the name Association Football.

Only Americans and Australians call it soccer... Everyone else calls it football dont they? So it's defo football if more call it that than soccer.
Those damn Americans could have come up with a more original name instead of nicking ours and just shoving American at the start.
I've got nothing against the game btw. It's a top sport they've created. it's Americas best sport by some distance.

It did actually. American football evolved from the sport of rugby football. (According to wiki...)

Also may be worth noting, the 'world series' in baseball does not mean 'champions of the world'. It is named after The World newspaper, which sponsored the competition.

Come on Niners! Although hoping if they win the stupid 'arstads here don't destroy too much in the festivities (as happened when Giants won the baseball). Good time to be an SF sports fan

It's only my second day of a new job tomorrow, so I'm not even attempting to stay up.
I couldn't see any highlights shows advertised (tomorrow or day after) on the Beeb, does anyone know any different, or where can I see highlights otherwise?
(I don't have Sky)

Baltimore are a team so steeped in history you can almost smell the Founding Fathers, The Boston Tea Party and John Hancock's flamboyant signature on their black and purple jerseys. Only the Tennessee Titans come close in matching the sense of history you get with their 17 year old franchise. Walk into the M &T Bank Stadium on Any Given Sunday and you know you're buying into a slice of Yankee Folklore on a par with mom's homemade apple pie, Skoal Bandits, Bud Lite, egg nogg and Pee Wee Herman.

Anyone else watching the game direct from NFL.COM on their GamePass?
