Super Bowl XLVIII Seattle Seahawks v Denver Broncos ***Official Match Thread***

[brightn'ove]

they base it viewers - what are you basing it on? never heard of a boxing match drawing over a billion viewers

when has a superbowl ever attracted a billion viewers may i ask? biggest figure i can find is 111 million in 2012

As always, the 'game' will be ruined by the constant add breaks, and I'll get bored and switch off.

So the allegedly biggest sports game in the world takes place tonight in NY.

It’s not in New York it’s in New Jersey.

The most important question is what snacks have people lined up for it?

Going to my bosses SB party – his missus is Texan and does the best chicken wings and pulled pork I’ve ever tasted.


Should be a good game – it will be close but I think the Broncos should just shade it. Peyton Manning looking to get his second Super Bowl MVP to match Eli’s record.

All about the Seahawks this afternoon, obviously. Well, and the beer+food.

I'm going to go with the prediction made on the Simpsons in 2005 > Denver to win 19 - 14

Seattle seems like a cool city. So, yeah let's go Seahawks!

Nothing 'Football' about that game.

Complicated egg chasing for players with padding, I recommend plenty of coffee and Red Bull if you are watching this "game"

I'll be watching with a load of mates, in a pub that one of them runs. We've got hot dogs, chilli and some quality American beers in. It's been a tradition for the last 5 years or so. I'll be cheering on the Seahawks as my team, the Panthers, went out in the divisional playoffs at the hands of the 49ers.

I'd like 'football' a lot more if they had these teams;

So what time is " throw up" - or whatever they call kick off over there?

Kick off is at 11:30pm. Hopefully Sky will sort out their feed by then as just about every film they have shown so far has broken up at some point.

Anyone else's picture keep flicking to a black screen?

Go Seahawks.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Manning will launch a last second 60 yard hail Hail Mary to win in total drama, Sherman will miss it and won't say a great deal after.

That is awesome, the Seahawks/Watto helmet is genius.

There are turkeys with better looking necks than Kurt Russell's.

 

[zeetha]

With no Raiders or Redskins, I'm going with the underdogs - GO SEAHAWKS!!

Isn't it also on channel 4?
