I haven't heard or seen anything to overhype that game because I don't look for it..........not too hard to do......when it comes time to play the game then I'll turn on the TV set............that's it..................why all the fuss about claiming its overhyped?

 

Do other things all week...........

meh. when all the in-depth stories become about your players it's probably pretty cool. seeing hour-long specials on cam's car wreck and an interview on how fozzy's career rose from nothing and depthy examinations of the panthers improved offensive line play would've been cool as fug this year. i wouldn't have been able to work the past week and i'd be useless this week.

I know people around here don't like the Patriots or Tom Brady but the fact is Brady is going to go down in history as one of the best Qbs to ever play the game. I consider myself lucky to be able to have watched many of his games. I was too young to watch the other great Qbs like Marino, Young, Elway, Favre's younger years. Maybe some of you guys are a bit spoiled because you got to grow up watching those great Qbs I missed out on. Nothing lasts forever in the NFL and whether you don't care to admit it Tom is going to go down as one of the best I'm glad I get to watch him in another Superbowl. It's all about perspective. Him and Peyton will be talked about 20+ years from now. I'll be glad to say I got to watch their entire careers.

The Super Bowl is the biggest event in sports,in my opinion,so why wouldn't it be overhyped ? I don't like either team but the " Under Inflate Gate" situation, reminded me of how big a cheater Belichick and the Patriots really are.

 

There is no telling how many games the Patriots have won over the years, playing with an under inflated football that was easier to catch and harder to fumble.Another example of the  things they try to get away,not counting the things they probably do that have gone undected.

 

It will feel strange to me,pulling for Seattle,a team i don't like but i'm hoping the cheating New England,a team i dislike more, gets it stuck to them good this time around.

don't watch it don't pay attention to it if you don't like it. Problem solved. The only time I watch ESPN aka the hype machine that creates news instead of reporting it is when there's a game on I have interest in or I get home from the bar on the weekends and throw on Sportscenter for background noise.

While I was in Australia they had Super Bowl parties too, and I even got the day off to the embassy Super Bowl party each year (our Sunday is their Monday).  American Football is a growing interest over there, at least as far as I saw.  Not saying it comes close to comparing to Aussie Rules or either of the rubgies, but it's probably as popular as soccer. 

 

But yea, the fervor that accompanies the SB and playoffs don't come close to that of the World Cup, but they're not totally comparable since the World Cup is every 4 years.  Better to compare that to the Olympics.

The World Cup is a series of games.

 

The Super Bowl is a single event, and it's not just watched here. 

 

 

 

The World Cup has Playoff elimination games exactly as the NFL does to narrow it down to 2 teams for the Big Prize.

Only difference is the NFL doesn't have a 3 versus 4 consolation game.
