Football games over here are a little bit different. They use a black and white ball and you do not get hit quite as much. The good thing is that the matches are at times convenient to one's schedule.

OR ?

Game time is never really an issue for the devoted fan. A fan whom lives his sport. How late would you be willing to watch an event that you were a die hard fan of? I know that my friend Cotton would respond, "9pm. Anything past that is cutting into sleep time." How about 2330 until 330? Yes, the game of all games, the Superbowl did not start here in jolly old England until 2330 local time. It was a great all night affair. Sky sports broadcast the game with original US commetary, but the commercials left something lacking. Too bad Sky did not rebroadcast the American commercials, because it would have been a lot better filler. (Who does not watch the Superbowl for the commercials?) Sky showed a few local commercials, but included a lot of British commentary on the game. The lead pundit looked like he mugged a couch and I am not convinced that any of them understand the game of Football. They were still wondering when the black and white ball was coming into play.

Bottom line: New England is not the "Greatest Team Ever", Brits can't commentate of American Football, and I still hate the '72 Dolphins.
