I sat down to watch a bit of the Superbowl for the first time in a few years. A bit of a silly game, but there were some aspects I particularly enjoyed.
- The speed of time varied wildly. The first 10 minutes took 15 minutes; the next 10 minutes took 45 minutes; and the last 2 minutes of the first half took 20 minutes.
- Commentator talking about NFL teams training at Stamford Bridge during their next visit to London : "Chelsea's fifteen, one and five record has helped them into the England League Cup final".
- Best player name was Randy Gay (I think that's what I heard anyway).
- Tom Petty performing on a giant phallic Flying V Guitar during the half-time show.
The first half was unspectacular, but an intriguing tussle nevertheless. New York Giants' dee-fense (sic) was dominant for much of the half, but the much-fancied New England Patriots managed to take a 7-3 lead into the interval.
Unfortunately, the half-time show took so long that by the time it was over I'd lost interest in the actual game so I went to bed.
I haven't seen the result yet, so here is my prediction (if it's possible to predict something which has already happened):
3rd quarter: New York defense continues to pile on the pressure, but their offense fails to capitalise, only managing a couple of field goals. They take a small lead into the final quarter.
4th quarter: New York begin to tire and start making errors. New England offense leaps into action with a couple of late touchdowns. Final score New England 21 New York 12. Let's see how wrong I am.

I'd much rather watch a good game of Kabbadi.
Can't tell you the result, by the way, do you think they are finished yet?
I was wrong, the Giants won with a thrilling last-minute Touchdown apparently. I bet the last minute took about half an hour though.
