Super Bowl

[NYCBlue]

Anyone watching?

I remember the first one I saw "live". Bears/Patriots 1986. At a mate's flat in Cathays. We bought a case of Bud and a bottle of Jack. I couldn't believe how slow it was. And that there were adverts right after kick-off. I'd been used to Channel 4's fast-paced highlights show on Sunday evenings. I'm pretty sure we ran out of booze before the 4th quarter. (there were three of us)

Anyway, tonight I'm a guaranteed $275 winner for a $10 stake. A bookie was offering 55/1 odds on either team with a maximum $5 stake for new accounts so I opened one for me and the Mrs and bet on both teams.

I fancy Brady (who I, and everyone else strangely seem to not mind thee days) to engineer a win. Although, I don't really care as long as it's a good game.

This will be the first one I've watched without friends or (extended) family in as long as I can remember. I've promised myself that next year I will throw down. New TV, good food and plenty of booze. I'll take the Monday off.

I don't follow American football but have friends who do .

When we were younger san Francisco and green Bay packers seemed to be the teams ?

Re: Super Bowl

I'm going to start to watch it but I know I will fall asleep.

I shall record it and more than likely watch it tomorrow (fast forwarding the many stoppages in between) hoping to steer clear of the result.

43 year old Tom Brady playing his 10th super bowl over 2 decades. Amazing!

Re: Super Bowl

I’ve got Chiefs win, Mahomes and Fournette anytime TD 16/1

Also think fournette will get 100+ rushing but can’t see passed a chiefs win

Two amazing QB's

I see there's a 30K crowd at the game. Is Covid not an issue because it's the Super Bowl?

Re: Super Bowl

Too close to call and looking forward to this one. Seems like you're not allowed to kneel during the anthem but can turn the actual song itself into a show tune.

Re: Super Bowl

I'd imagine that there'll be a few thousand arrogant Americans in the stadium.

It's OK to show people being shot at close range on American TV but the sight of a nipple is considered obscene.

What is wrong with seeing people close up?

Did you have money on Fournette getting the 100? I couldn't find the bet. There was just an over/under of 46 for nothing odds.

Can't believe how easy this is going for TB.

Just me and the wife watching. Love your idea of going all out next year. Didn’t expect the Bucs to lock them down so we’ll. Looks like it’s already too big a gap at 28-9

It's Florida. A bunch of hillbillies that make their own rules.

Yeah same, didn’t back it.
I could find odds included with him winning MVP or 2 TD’s etc but didn’t fancy that, might bite me on the ass now especially the TD one.
