Superbowl XXXV111 - Patriots v Panthers

[Beach Hut]

So the "Greatest Sports Show On Earth" as ever over-hyped by the USA takes place tonight.

How on earth only USA teams compete to be World Champions is beyond me.

However I like American Football and predict a win for the Panthers this year.

Mind you I got it badly wrong last year.

Anyone else watching tonight ?

 

[Trigger]

Nope, i wont be watching, can't stand the 'sport'

Everytime i've heard this mentioned the person mentioning it has predicted a Panthers win so who am i to go against the grain!

Panthers

 

[dwayne]

Will go to sports cafe in haymarket for this one, then CC's nr tracadero, should be an incredible night

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Is this like the Yank football FA Cup final?

 

[Happy Seagull]

Well i'm going for Brady and Patriots to win this one.

 

[CAFC Matt]

Won't be watching. Stupid sport with too many complicated rules

 

[CAFC Matt]

You Have To see This

Cheerleader of the year at the Superbowl. May be watching afterall

 

[US Seagull]

Patriots are the favorities, but I won't be watching either. I *might* have watched if the Colts had made it.

 

[Lord Cornwallis]

Let's go panthers, let's go.
That is the official chant, actually the only chant. Sad but true.
Spare a thought for me, I live in Charlotte, and have had to put up with this foolishness for the last week.
Everybody is suddenly a die hard fan and have been buying up car flags and growl towels [Yes, growl towels, I kid you not. Little blue towelettes that you wave about. New England fans must be shitting themselves.]
My question to them is, where were you when they were shit. A couple of seasons ago they won 1, lost 15 an NFL record of shittyness I belive. The last game that season attracted 22,000 in a stadium that holds 70,000 plus. Prawn sandwich anyone?
I hope they get a right tonking, just so I don't have to listen to it on Monday.

Rant over, and thanks for listening.

 

[Lord Cornwallis]

Oh, and another thing. This game doesn't make anyone a world champion, just a bunch of wannabe egg chasers in 80 lbs of body armour and a crash helmet.

Thank you.
And.............relax.

In another life, I think I could quite like American Football. The problem is, I do have trouble enjoying a sport when I couldn't give a toss about the teams competing. I'll sneak a few peeks at it tonight though. There's actually a fair amount to admire in American Football when you get the gist of it. You can get some pretty spectacular action.

They are all puffs dressed up in their girlie pads and thigh protectors. I would love to see the best American "football" team go up against the NSW State of Origin Rugby League team or NZ Warriors, they would get ripped apart.

Great big fairies.

Yeah, I'll be watching (whatevers on the other channel).

 

[Easy 10]

That IS always the argument...American Footballers are padded up to the 9's, whereas rugby players arn't. I do think Gridiron is a more brutal sport though. The protection the team gives to the runner borders on psychotic at times...the rules seem to allow a lot more when it comes to bringing a player down by any means. You've only got to fart in rugby and its a penalty.

Big respect to the rugger buggers, that IS a tough sport, but Gridiron is for absolute maniacs.

Hmmm don't think so...

When I was at uni, we had some animal, exchange students from NYU who were American football players, and they got the piss ripped out of them by the rugger buggers...the usual... padded fairies, pussy sport etc. So anyway around teh time of Children in need someone at the uni gym i worked at, came up with the idea of charity boxing matches and weighlifting comps between the rugger boys and yankees. Suffice to say the fatto rugger boys got humiliated, absolutely destroyed.

Just because they wear padding it doesn't make them less strong or pschopathic for that matter.

I think they pinched that from the Steelers, the home of the "terrible towel". I might have been interested if the Steelers had been in the superbowl.
'ere we go Steelers, 'ere we go

 

[Easy 10]

I see its being played in the "Reliant" stadium.
Marvellous.

[Beach Hut]

What's John Barnes doing there?!

If that's Sky Sports 1, I thought that was Lennox Lewis

 

[Hilton]
