Explain the Superbowl to me
 

I am sat in front to the TV. The superbowl is just starting - apparently for the next 5 hours.
I know zero about the Superbowl so come on, explain it to me.

What is it all about?
Who are the Seahawks & Patriots?
What makes the Superbowl so Good?
Who will win?
What happens at half time?
Do they have cheerleaders?

It is a game with 2 sides.

There will a winner and a loser.

Millions of dollars will change hands at the end of the game.

People like games because humans...having evolved in small tribes their survival was dependant on the "them vs us" mentality. That primitive and primal instinct is alive and well and represented by such things as wars, religions, political parties, and football games.

Hope that clears it all up for ya!

Kick ball - get cheque.

Sounds a lot like Soccer.

Money, cute dogs, commercials, horses, beer, football, 'Merica

Football teams.

The commercials, the parties.

The NFL, The Team Owners, The Team Players, Katy Perry, Bars, Snack Manufacturers, 'Merica

Entertainer(s) entertain and people get up and stretch and some puppies play a game on another channel (usually).

Yes they do :thumbsup

Seahawk's Cheerleaders

Patriots Cheerleaders

It's like the world series of football. Go team USA!!!! FUCK YEAH

Seattle is gonna win by at least 2 so I can cash my ticket.

Waste of time and effort.

Now curling...that's an event!

Thanks saretteh. Just an fyi but you linked to Cheerleasers from 2014. We are now in 2015 you know.

By the way are they wearing warpaint?

Seahawks run out to bitter sweet symphony..

While I prefer to refer to the current season that's coming to an end as the 2014-2015 season, the regular season actually ended in December. Any games played in 2015 to this point are post-season, therefore this entire season is referred to as the 2014 NFL Season.

It annoys me, because this is the 2014 season's Superbowl, but if someone said 2014 Superbowl to me, I'd think of last years game.

So I refer to it all as 2014-2015 season, Superbowl, etc.

looking forward to watching a couple hours of handegg

Thanks for clearing that up.

What's handegg?
By the way I saw a dude slap an NFL players ass before the game. Is this normal shit?

Exactly why I don't go to super bowl parties. Sit and watch 4 hours of commercials with people who don't know what a field goal is.

just look at the shape of the ball and think HANDEGG. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

What's a field goal?
Looking forward to the commercials. Will they mention Bitcoin?

Ok, makes sense now lol.

Umm, you seem to be a bit off with your body parts.. I don't think hand is where you think it is.

Meh... it's basically a few hours of homo erotic imagery and fantasy masquerading as machismo and strategy.

they do have cheerleaders but you see very little of them as it imposes on the homoerotic appeal

Yeah and the foot picture is pointing to an ankle or shin. Sports fans aren't always anatomy fans I guess.

please complain to whoever made that picture - lol

Why just "like" ?
And what is that "world series of" you are talking about? :winkwink:

the whole world competes in some kind of sport that is a cricket variation

this super bowl dealy is like that but for some rugby variation

Well-read :thumbsup lol

Ah, world series of baseball right? It seems like only 1 country competes there :1orglaugh

:thumbsup:winkwink:

Muricans like to make variations :1orglaugh

euro crap :)

Did you watch the video? America sings "We are the world". :winkwink::winkwink:

Neither of those sports are football :2 cents:

So what is football to you?

I sat and watched it with a couple people and i honestly couldn't even tell you who won, other than it was Tom Brady's team. Was an excuse to drink 10 beers and eat some chicken wings. If it was up to me i would have rather watched the walking dead marathon that was playing on amc.

few hours of bore packed in mega show :) next time watch it, puppies are predicting winners and so, every ten minutes sponsored by someone else, funny as hell :1orglaugh

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I sat through fifteen minutes before I got bored, in that time the game clock only went down eleven seconds, the teams changed at least three times, there was two commercial breaks and they went to the TV presenting team six times.
A total crock of shite so I turned over and watched an episode of the Big Bang Theory that I'd only seen three times before.
