They as good as they sound? May have to give that a try.

That would be cool. More so if the Ravens won.

um....coming to your house for dinner!

ocnbrze

i go all out when it comes to the super bowl.........if anybody is coming just make sure to bring plenty of beer

breadnatty08

^ Always jealous of you folks on the West Coast and getting to catch the SB (among all football games) so much earlier in the day.

ocnbrze

come out to the west coast then. we can always use a great pizzeria out here.. we can open one up together

Granite1

I'm going to sit around and eat a Bowl of Soup.

See what I did there.

The Stillers were crappy this season, so I'm not really interested. I will take up the offer of haz'n beers with Ocn tho. Sounds like a good time!!

The wife will likely do her shrimp boil and veggie platter. I'm not expecting a big crowd this year so nothing over the top. Just a lot of lazin, snacking, and perhaps a brewski or so.

drinking my own tears staring at my phone waiting for a text from a cute girl that will never come.

ocnbrze

well instead of and drinking your own tears, you can come down to my house and drink some beers with me

and if she aint coming that is her loss

saptech

Just remeber, jamor, the more she drinks, the better you look!

ocnbrze, I'm not doing nothing for the SB, maybe I'll stop by! I did live in LA area for 10 years. I stayed mostly in the Valley and Long Beach.

stop on by....should have plenty of beer

chrlswltrs

I'm probably going to be moving there in a few months, so I'll take you up on that next year... As long as whiskey is ok, beer is just flavored water to me.

flavored water.....please. we probably have cheap whiskey lying around someplace. can guarantee it is going to be great.

jamor

Ok where at?! I'll bring a six pack and we can split it up.

Definitely her loss


That is true. I'll have to put my beer face on for the ladies.

argedion

I'll probably be on here. I haven't had a drink since 97 and don't have plans on stopping that streak

Last SB I watched was with the saints. I had to see them win at least one. Our "Super Bowl" here is the Georgia/Florida Game.

How do you think I feel.....it won't start over here until around about 9pm, if we are lucky..... think it finished about 3am last year! Lol

sntaylor

Cheap whiskEy is no good.... it's gotta be a decent single malt whisky!

:-)

sntaylor

Oh and I just checked.... kick off for me this year will be 11.30pm :-(

breadnatty08

You guys have one of the best in the nation!
PIZZERIA MOZZA
Would love to try it (and if we ever visit our in-laws who live outside of LA, I certainly will ).

People in Scotland watch the Superbowl!?!?

ocnbrze

oh wow how did i miss that place? gonna have to try that some day. i wonder if they deliver?

breadnatty08

Eh, likely no!
IIRC, it was opened by famed baker Nancy Silverton and Mario Batali.

sntaylor

Lol.... yeah I've caught most of the last couple.... don't watch many games, but I know I'm not alone(well I might be on this site!) As a janitor at my work is a big sea hawks fan!


Will see if I have any extra shifts(coaching rugby!) The next day, and if not, I'll probs watch it...back shift is good for some things :-P

chrlswltrs

There are Seachicken fans outside of Seattle??

Even here when they are losing all the fans go into hiding, one of the primary reasons I hate them so much! That and because they have never won anything, thier greatest accomplishment is going to a Super Bowl and losing. Yet, the fans sure do act like they have the greatest NFL team in history if they win more than 8 games in a year

jludwig57

The power of the internet...

But I will probably being doing homework or something. Life of a college student.

unnamedny

I'll be also watching "30 for 30:Broke" =)

NightHawk877

I'll be chilling with my girlfriend. She doesn't watch football and neither do I.

The greatest sporting event in the history of the world...

ocnbrze

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

Speed Daemon

These days "super" is just too plain. I'm waiting for the Ultra Bowl...

mikedt

It's not going to be shown on Chinese TV though. In fact CCTV(China Central TV) doesn't show any NFL football at all. Totally unlike NBA basketball, that's always on. It's not for the want of trying though. The NFL has spent some serious $$$$$ trying to promote gridiron football here, with exhibition matches, expensive shopping mall and department store promotions, NFL China website, etc, but so far it's been an almost complete fail. They tried to do the same in Europe years ago, with NFL Europe and their own leagues, that's dead.

Think the problem is, it's difficult and costly to implement properly at the school and college level, so hardly anyone is playing it. Plus it can be difficult to understand and follow what's going on as well, especially if you're not brought up with it. I don't really understand it, although I'm British. It's like cricket, they don't play cricket in China either, apart from Hong Kong.

However some other imported games, like basketball, that's huge, all schools and colleges play it. And there's CBA(China Basketball Association) as well, that's always on TV here, along with NBA and KBA. Probably because it's easy to implement and play, and understand and follow what's going on. Snooker is very popular here and association football(soccer) is quite popular as well... there's a lot of Manchester United fans in China as well as LA Lakers fans...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Bowl
The China Bowl was the name of a proposed National Football League (NFL) pre-season exhibition game that had been scheduled to take place in August 2007, but later postponed to 2009 and ultimately canceled,

NFL in China: Not ****ing Likely

Even when I've tried to describe gridiron or American football to my students. They always say 橄榄球(Gǎnlǎnqiú), which actually means "rugby football".

too bad you do not have a slingbox here in the US. that way you can watch NFL over there via the internet or the slingbox app. my sister is a laker fan and she can watch games all the way in australia!!!

too bad she hates the nfl and will not be doing anything special over there.

mikedt

It's easy enough to watch Lakers games here, and Celtics, etc. as well as the Beijing Ducks and the Shanghai Sharks. CCTV5 is an almost dedicated basketball channel. Plus there's a heck of a lot of Kobe Bryant posters in the student dorms.

There's going to be some official NFL Superbowl parties...
Official NFL Super Bowl Parties in China_???????_NFL??????
...no doubt that'll keep some of the expats happy.

I'll be able to find a way to watch it. More than likely will be shown on the NFL China website. Although I'm not quite sure where I'm going to be on Monday morning, 4th Feb, we're on holiday now.

BTW we don't play baseball in China either. MLB had a go and spent some $$$$, but has no presence at all here now. And the one ballpark they had in Beijing, was pulled down just after the Olympics. My students do seem to know what baseball is, unlike gridiron. Although they don't play baseball. They're always playing basketball, and soccer sometimes.

Bit like the world series just happens to only be played by one nationality! lol

smethbet

She doesn't watch football and neither do I.

Liamo_210

Looks like it might be a pretty good one this year... sibling rivalry at it's highest level.

I'm hoping Ray Lewis gets a ring before he retires.
