Enjoyed the game, great game of football, I do think the better team won out on the day. Nice to see no major calls that left a bad taste in the mouth either, all settled on the field.
Congrats to any Giants fans, I'm sure they'll be sinking a few tonight.
I'm going to go collapse now.. almost 3.30am here in blighty.

I don't get why the american superbowl commentators claim a billion people are watching every year. When in fact the best estimated viewing figures for a superbowl game done by proper research isn't even above 100 million.
This isn't a dig at American Football by the way. I'm just wondering who the crazy fool is who is making the billion claim initially and what (if any) research has been done to get that ridiculous number.

You have my attention.

I don't claim to be an NFL fan, or even someone who watches it - I don't - but my God that was boring. I'm sure that if you cut out the 30 second resets between each 3-5 second block of actual play time it might be good to watch, but watching this game live is just torture.
Give me a highlights package.

Great game. Well played by the Giants. I was saddened and disappointed, still. When Tom threw the first TD, touched the MHK and pointed up, I started to think we had a good chance. Our defense still just wasn't up to par; we desperately needed one of those four near-turnovers to bounce our way (three fumbles and a stupid 12 men on the field penalty). Our offense just couldn't make it happen and a significant chunk of that was Gronk's injury. But Branch, Hernandez, and even Welker also dropped or failed to field key passes when they were open. Not to mention that darn safety.
Still, very exciting and close game. Can't wait for the next shot at it.

It's a cultural thing. I have to work hard to pay attention to (for example) soccer, even the big games like World Cup finals matches. Yet I love American Football and find it exciting. That being said, I absolutely agree that there are too many unnecessary timeouts, particularly for commercials.
What you would enjoy is the NFL Reply recasts done on NFL network. They take the "best" four games of the season, each week, and edit them down to 90 minutes of action. I don't find them as satisfying as watching the full game, but they definitely boost the pace.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, I liked the halftime show quite a bit. Though the 2001/02 U2 performance remains the best ever.

Thank you, I watched that whole thing.
ANYWAYS!! Game was alright. I mean, it was nothing like the Saints and 49ers game. I damn near had a heart attack over that one.
Maybe you hang out with immature women. Maybe you're attracted to immature women because you think they'll let you shpadoink them.
You know you're actually right here. I can sit and be completely riveted by a 5 day cricket test match. I guess my problem was that even in a cricket match something is always going on, even if it's not much. More time in the NFL seems to be spent not playing than actually playing. It'd be like if they swapped ends at the end of every point in a game of tennis (the only other sport I can really watch with any interest).

No its still flat to them, but he is the supreme leader, and therefore, flat, round, shaped like the outline of a chicken, he just ignores it all does what he does. Makes sense
