Superbowl on the BBC for the next 2 years

[Monkster]

I'd like to know how the BBC (a non-advertisement channel) is going to cope with the incessant four-hour advertisement break being broadcast by NBC which is occasionally interrupted by some Gridiron Football.

Probably Just like Channel 5 do.......talk sh*t for hours between plays

Bearing in mind Channel Five show Baseball they do have the right experience !

By the way...

AMERICAN FOOTBALL IS f***ing SHIT.

Hopefully they'll get Todd Ant to commentate. He's BRILL.

I do. It's a game of British Bulldog between two teams of steroid-laden motorcycle couriers.

And don't call me a facist. I like faces.

Next they will flood the country with mc donalds and jeeps :thud:

We may as well just apply to be an amarican state!

Doesn't worry me as I'll watch it on SKY anyway with the excellent, wiitty and informative Nick Halling. (I'll PM you my address MoH so you can send me my tickets).

Because all Americans are so FAT they have to stop every 10 seconds for a breather

 

[Starry]

well i like nfl/american football and am glad we are starting to see more and more of it over here.

the bafl is really taking off at grass roots level as well.

 

[Beach Hut]

Best coverage was C4 with Marv Levy co-commentating, an NFL legend

triple headers every sunday on sky already:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Anyone else going up to wembley on 28th of october?

 

[Starry]

George Carlin used to say that an NFL game was everything wrong with America in a nutshell -- mindless violence, with a committee meeting every thirty seconds thrown in for good measure.

What I want to know is, does this mean the Cup Final is going to be on NBC, CBS, or ABC?

I may have my US passport revoked or something, but I'm New England born and bred, and watch, maybe, 60 minutes of Patriots games all year, total. And of their last three Superbowl appearences, less than that. I lost all interest in the NFL back in Nixon's day, when it became the de-facto state religion, and he was phoning up the Redskin's head coach to suggest plays.

Nowadays my pet peeve is NASCAR.....

So this is what my TV licence is for.

I want to watch my own nations sport. Like rugby and cricket.

Failing to secure the IRB RWC is the Beeb's biggest failure.


What a f***ing shitfest.

If you had read the whole thread, you would have noticed the NFL are letting the BBC show it for free.

And lets face it, look at the CRAP they but on the BBC on a Sunday evening anyway.....

11pm - Some crud film from 1983

12:55am - The WEATHER

1am - A repeat of Holby City

2am - A repeat of Child of our Time.

Now I'm not a American Football fan, but having the BEEB showing the superbowl for FREE can only be a good thing. Unless you're specifically turning on to watch HOLBY CITY for the 3rd time this week, I doubt you'll be too bothered.

A good idea, I always used to like watching the Superbowl, but haven't had the chance since it's been on sky.

Yes, cant f***ing wait! Who would you like to win? It'll be Miami for me as I have a hatred for Eli Manning.
