What is everyone doing for SuperBowl XLIII?
VC:
It was on a couple months ago. Florida has an afilliate that runs MHz Worldview during the evenings and over-nights. Usually it's news programming from UK, France, Russia, or India, but they also air some AFL.

true, probly the grand final would be the likely thing to make it internationally (last match of the season). I know that cable in dozens of countries picks up the finals series and most air the grand final live.
Btw nothing against american football but this chick once told me when you are there it takes 3 hours, half that is start and stopping and standing around figuring out plays....thats why i like getting hilights aired of the superbowl, 5 mins of sheer win is better than 3 hours of that to me.

It's more than half down-time. American football is turn-based strategy game of professional sports. Everyone lines up, crashes into each other like fools (note that the mentally retarded wear helmets too) while the two or three skilled athletes (they're easy to spot because they are thin and agile) on the team are entrusted to actually move the ball around.
Sure, there is a lot of impressive muscle out there, and the players are dedicated and put a lot of work into playing, especially at the professional level. But working hard isn't working smart, and these athletes could be using their talent, or at least bigness, toward something greater than crashing into each other and waiting for the next play.
But that's not the important thing. The important thing is that a large number of American males are programmed that Football is Manly and American, and so they salute the pigskin and watch the commercials and buy the beer.
$ports.
