Normally gets a decent amount of discussion so here's a separate thread for it

Fox pre-game show is on Sky Sports 1 from 7 with their coverage starting from 10pm, C4 also showing it from 10.30pm, kick off is at 11.25 pm

Denver Broncos vs Seattle Seahawks with the leagues best offense up against the best defense, first time in a while it probably is the two best teams from their conferences and the two teams a lot of people predicted before the season so should be a great game.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Bruno Mars doing the halftime show

[Roy Mars III]

At least there will a half way decent halftime show this year. Bruno is terrible, but the RHCP will be awesome. Better than that no talent idiot Beyonce anyway

[Roy Mars III]

Denver:31
Seattle: 17

Called it

[King Gizzard]

Supporting the Seahawks

[Brother Leon]

Let's go Sherman.

[MTVN]

At least there is no snow

Actually seems it's gonne be quite dry and not too cold

[Drew.]

Quite strange watching American TV coverage

[Roy Mars III]

Not use to the superior quality.

[Drew.]

It makes a nice change from Niall Quinn and Jamie Redknapp that's for sure

[MTVN]

Fox can only dream for a pundit like big Kev Cadle

[King Gizzard]

Colin Murray and Vernon Kay or Kevin Cadle and co

lol tough choice....naaat

The only thing with Sky's coverage is they have that English white guy that shouts too much as well

[Drew.]

C4 in HD though :( will stick to Sky anyway

[Brother Leon]

[MTVN]

Off to my union bar to watch it, I might avoid this thread on my return depending on how it goes

[BBfanUSA]

Will be watching it at a friend's place.

Just playing around on Facebook right now with Fox Coverage on in the background right now

[BBfanUSA]

By the way, Fox Sports 1 is so awesome. Especially Crowd Goes Wild with Regis Philbin and Georgie Thompson (Yes that one.)

[Shaun]

queen latifah wouldn't be a bad QB herself

[Brother Leon]

Got an American stream on the laptop to use for the Commercial break.


#CommercialsAreSerious

[Drew.]

Here we go

[GypsyGoth]

Denver have a horse on their team :worship:

[Drew.]

That woman coming out on the horse >

[Brother Leon]

Fair to say the arena is mostly Broncos. Would make a Seattle win even sweeter.

[GypsyGoth]

It's a great anthem :love:

[Drew.]

Can just imagine a little old lady sitting their knitting that flag

[Brother Leon]

Not American, but their Anthem always gives me chills.


Imagine being a player then.

[Jack_]

The American national anthem is better than ours tbh

[Drew.]

What happens if the horse runs out and intercepts play

[Brother Leon]

Hopefully we see some BEAST mode by Lynch. Will be worth being late to uni in the morning :laugh:

[Drew.]

Manning you tit

[Brother Leon]

Peyton already choking :worship:

[Shaun]

oh dear manning

[Shaun]

The American national anthem is better than ours tbh

nicki minaj's starships would be a better national anthem than God Save the Queen. So, so tuneless and dreary.

[Shaun]

this game already seems more hectic than last year's

[Brother Leon]

Bud Light and their ****ty commercials :laugh:

[Brother Leon]

Lovely start.

[King Gizzard]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BfgaGz1IgAELMmr.jpg

[King Gizzard]

It's so mesmerizing even if I don't have a ****ing clue what is going on

[Drew.]

That stat about there being 11 minutes of play on average over the 3 hour period

[Brother Leon]

BANG!!!

Nice hit.

[Shaun]

i'm watching on c4, don't have their commercials :(

chancellor just killed someone

[King Gizzard]

the way people go on about them being pussies for wearing pads in relation to rugby is so ridiculous when you see hits like that...completely different

[Alf]

The American national anthem is better than ours tbh
My arse

[Shaun]

got to say, this is the worst halftime lineup in my lifetime

[Brother Leon]

Bruno Mars is a guilty pleasure tbh. He better perform Treasure though or it is a pointless performance.

[Drew.]

Madonna did it a few years ago, it was terrible

[King Gizzard]

bruno mars is a guilty pleasure of mine too

[Black Dagger]

Dislike Bruno Mars a lot.

I just don't think American Football is for me, I've attempted it, but it can go in the list of sports I'll never get into or enjoy with Cricket.

[Shaun]

madonna's was memorable though if only for MIA

[Brother Leon]

Fair point,Drew. Madonna was terrible as she has been for years now :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

lol I didn't see RHCP were performing as well.. him getting headline slot lol yeh nah **** off.

[King Gizzard]

the boss >

[Alf]

Janet Jackson ftw

[Brother Leon]

[BBfanUSA]

Oh yeah. Bud commercial gave me feels.

[Drew.]

Sweet mother of god

[BBfanUSA]

[Drew.]

#PrayForFloyd

[Roy Mars III]

MTVN lost

[Roy Mars III]

Offense wins regular season games. Defense wins championships

[Shaun]

[Shaun]

430160851249926146

Passenger

[Shaun]

[Brother Leon]

[Drew.]

Seattle been celebrating since the first TD

[Shaun]

Manning to sponsor Butterfingers

[Brother Leon]

Sherman on crutches ready to celebrate lol


Edit: all done. Well done Seattle :worship:

[Drew.]

Well done Seattle

[Roy Mars III]

MTVN were are you?

I have been saying Manning is choke prone and too old to handle a physical defense like Seattle.

[Roy Mars III]

Seattle youngest team in NFL, could easily be here next year

[King Gizzard]

Didn't you vote Broncos to win in that other thread

[King Gizzard]

oh, it was about support

[Roy Mars III]

Didn't you vote Broncos to win in that other thread

I was joking, I have been saying from the start of the season that choke Manning is overated. I would never support him or that douche Elway

[Shaun]

Smith? Hmm. OK. Don't remember him standing out much. Would've said Chancellor or Willson

[Roy Mars III]

he did the pick 6.

I would have done Chancellor as well

[King Gizzard]

Is Bittersweet Symphony a theme tune for the hawks or something they played it on the way out as well

It sounds better at the superbowl than during England matches

[Brother Leon]

MVP should of been Chancellor or Harvin.

[Shaun]

Is Bittersweet Symphony a theme tune for the hawks or something they played it on the way out as well

It sounds better at the superbowl than during England matches

have ITV stopped using it with England matches yet

[BBfanUSA]

Wow, this isn't near the stadium I think but it was just announced that there's an explosion in Midtown Manhattan.

EDIT: Gas Line Explosion, not a terrorist attack.

[MTVN]

Christ this sport.. I don't want to live in this world anymore

No other game prolongs the pain as much as the NFL does..

Somebody hold me

[Drew.]

Evening Matthew

[MTVN]

I mean tbf to the Hawks their D is ridiculous and another level to anyone weve played against this year, whole game just went wrong from the first play to the last, I've never seen anything like it

I guess steroids really do work wonders after all :whistle:

[MTVN]

Just kidding

maybe

[MTVN]

Hope all you neutrals had a fun night anyway :xyxwave:

[Ramsay]
