SuperBowl and Paul McCartney

[madmike]

Granted, I am an American, and a huge American football fan.

But this SuperBowl was great and the halftime show with Paul McCartney was the best ever.

Paul is god, plain and simple. Great set.

Anyone else catch it?

No but I remember watching Superbowl XX when the Chicago Bulls beat the Patriots 46-10, only superbowl I've ever watched, that was when I was trying to get into it. Never did though, too much stop start, prefer real football or rugby. Admire them as athletes though especially when I read about some 300 Lb dude who could run 60m in 7 secs or so.

That was my first Superbowl too. I've followed the Pats since '82/83 when it was first on C4 with John Smith, the former Pat's kicker presenting. Don't watch much nowadays as it's alway on at stupid times, and I can't be arsed to tape it. Nice that the Pats won.

Chicago Bears. The Bulls are a basketball team (used to have some guy named Jordan or something.)

Blimey, late for a superbowl isnt it?

I was at the one in Atlanta in 2000. It was my first weekend there.

Mad experience it has to be said...

The commercials are available at Ifilms. Must say, some of them where quite funny. Not being an American Football fan myself, I simply watched the end of the Daytona 24 hour yesterday then did an extended hoon in the Esprit taking advantage of the very empty street around town.

lol ah quite right Mike...I knew that I still remember that superbowl but it was so one sided, maybe if it'd been a closer game it might have reeled me in. There used to be an AF programme on Channel 4 when I was at school presented by some english guy who I think was either a rugby or football player who crossed over to join the Atlanta Falcons as a kicker if I remember, good programme because it usually explained what was going on for us limeys.
