The Superbowl - CBS + BBC = Eloquent Football

The Superbowl ended at 3 am our time, which would explain why not many Brits watch it. And that point explains why the BBC commentary was rather hilarious: They had no idea what was going on.

I normally watch the Superbowl for the half time show and for the commercials. And guess what. No commercials over here. Normally I would be excited for a show not to have commercials...like Lost. It would be great for Lost to be commercial free. But the Superbowl? It is the single greatest day for commercialization in the world.

The good news was they did show The Who. Loved it. It was rather insane to think that I've met a man that was performing in front of a 100,000 people (give or take a few thousand) and millions watching on their telly.

The Superbowl also gave us an excuse to buy the most American food we could dream up. By the time the game started, it looked like America had thrown up all over our kitchen. We had homemade tortilla chips, salsa, guac, sour cream, pizza, burgers with cheese and bacon, pickles, and loaded potato skins. Cheers!
