Superbowl XXXVII
So, if you're a good, patriotic American, you're certainly watching the Superbowl right about now. The dot-com ads should be pretty much absent this year, but perhaps there will be something more interesting than ads for recycled movies. Maybe even the game will be worth watching. :) Update: 01/27 17:02 GMT by T : Chardish writes "If you didn't catch the trailer for The Matrix: Reloaded on the Superbowl last night, it's now available for download."
just a bunch of low lives running after a stupid "egg shaped" object.
How is that thing classified as a ball? When its not round?
the whole idea behind the game is just lame.
could care less who wins or loses.
It was one of the most boring tv-sport I have ever been so lucky to lay my eyes on! 3/4 of the time, the players just walked back and forth for no reason, only interrupted by short bursts of activity. It's firmly in the place with golf, baseball, kricket and syncronized swimming.
Too rigid, and too organized.
Yawner...

YA!!!! I love the effect where the little arab guy is sitting in his hut eating dinner and 10000 american laser guided bombs land on his hut and kill him and his children. Hoho that will teach him to be a non-american! and live in a mud hut!

Football is just grown men playing a boys game
Hmm, let's see:
Grown men playing a boys game: $200,000 - $5 million+ per year, average salary over $1 million, 6 months off per year.
Grown men playing with boys computers: $30,000 - $150,000 per year, average salary $73,000, 0.75-2 months off per year.
I really wonder who the stupid ones are?
Soccer? ;)
Oh... you mean real football
I remember watching when the bombing started in iraq, i was pretty young.. 11 I think and the local cable company unscrambled CNN for the duration of the war. We pretty much watched CNN and those green tracers for hours a day. It was the best television I ever watched.
Yes, but the US are superior to us. They must be, given how everyone on TV was referring to it as the "world championship". I think it highlights the way the US see themselves. Better than everyone else. I mean the World Series is bad enough, but at least that has 2 countries participating. To call the Superbowl a "world championship" is like Manchest United winning the FA Cup and declaring themselves world champions of soccer...
And I believe the world viewership for sports goes World Cup, Olympics, Formula One (though the latters stats are dubious since they include people who happen to catch highlights on the news).
