The hype is always insane but I kind of enjoy the pageantry 😂

Yep. For a bit anyway.

KittenPause · 09/02/2025 23:24

It's American and it's not even on normal TV over here so unlikely many of us are watching it

Fintoo · 09/02/2025 23:27

I’m watching, it’s very showbiz!

Interested in this thread?

Yeah 🤭

Don't know about thing about the sport but here for the hot men plus kendrick Lamar is apparently bringing out beyonce!

Plus my autistic dd shows no signs of sleep despite school tomorrow, and I've had enough of sitting in the dark with her 😅

Is ITV1 not “normal tv”?!

I'll watch for a bit. I watched last year and was a bit baffled how the sport is so popular to be honest. It's so stop-start-y, there's no momentum to it at all! A poor man's rugby IMO...

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 09/02/2025 23:34

It's the guy from This Morning

Me and DS have tried to understand NFL for a while now.
Tonight we decided that just as rugby is described as egg chasing, NFL is egg tag. Both pointless sports with eggs.

Although rugby is actually a bit tougher, NFL just pretends to be hard.

Watching, but only for Kenny!

Strokethefurrywall · 09/02/2025 23:35

We'll watch it until we get bored which will be in about 2 hours when we send the kids to bed.
We only watching for the commercials and our friends live in Philly so we're showing our support for the eagles.

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 09/02/2025 23:36

Do the Americans have tomorrow off of work?

Any predictions? I'm fed up of hearing about the Chiefs so I'm rooting for the Eagles 🦅

Team hot Travis

Biffsboys · 09/02/2025 23:47

It’s on in my house although I’m not watching it . Don’t get the whole hype about it …

YellowDaffodilRedTulip · 09/02/2025 23:47

Rooting for the Eagles.
Mostly watching to celeb spot.

TheChosenTwo · 09/02/2025 23:52

Honestly think I said the same on a similar thread last year - I don’t even know what sport the Super Bowl was and I asked last year at home if it was bowling and got laughed at. I can’t remember what sport they told me it was now and I haven’t been interested in the last 12 months to check 😂
So no, I won’t be watching.

I mean, you really do have to be living under a rock to not know what the Super Bowl is, even if you don’t know anything about it.

It started at 18.30 Eastern US time.

BackToRealitySigh · 09/02/2025 23:56

Yes - but I won't stay awake for very long....

PickleJelly · 10/02/2025 00:01

Yes we watch the NFL every Sunday throughout the season. I don't support either team but I would rather the eagles won the super bowl. Also looking forward to Kendrick.

TicketyBoo11 · 10/02/2025 00:03

Yep. I love the razzmatazz but have no idea what the hell’s going on 😂 I usually stay up for the half time show but I’m not into Kendrick so I’ll bail soon. Just reliving the half time show with J Lo and Shakira? Oh my god..insane. ✊🏻

Prisonbreak · 10/02/2025 00:04

I have no interest in it and have no idea one way or another but I’m on holiday and just boarded a ship in Orlando and the hype here is insane!! Much prefer the puppy bowl

Is it a bank holiday though? I can't remember from watching friends
