I seem to remember that being played, was it 1991 or 1992, the Brits are another story in itself, can't say I found it offensive, in fact it was nice that the format was different. Always think Maggie thatcher crooning 'How much is that doggie in the window' was priceless.
The Superbowl should be listed as '100 things to do before you die' as the one NY Giants game I saw, was one of the most fantastic things I've done. The Superbowl with all the entertainment is possibly one of the most impressive occasions in the world.
Although I am a massive football fan, I wish sometimes that we copy the way USA does things sometimes, I think it would quell the unnecessary nastiness that goes on with opposing fans.
I saw none of that in 2002 when I saw the Giants play, in fact everyone was socialising with each other.
Hope the Giants play at Wembley this year.
I bet you would like to do another Superbowl JK, your experiences sound brilliant? |

Oh yes, Mike - leaving aside the game, hearing Whitney's sublime Star Spangled Banner (which I included in the Brits that year and got huge shit from the industry) followed spot on time by a huge stealth bomber flying one inch above the Tampa stadium (so close it blacked out the entire stadium), I've never been more impressed.
I took the new MD of Virgin USA, my friend Ray Cooper, to the Superbowl Elway win in San Diego a year or two later - he could not believe how impressive it was.
They brought fresh sushi and fine French wines to your seat! |

My 11 yr old cousin in the USA can talk for ages about NFL, and he recently spent an hour enthusing to me about the Superbowl, although he was rooting for the Patriots. When his New Jersey team lost an important game he was depressed for days. For me, he's the most entertaining thing connected with American Football. I did go with him to a game once, and had the same feelings as Homer, although I was impressed by the atmosphere and the hot dogs. |

Think I pressed the wrong button on the keyboard.
The rookie presenter seems a really good all-rounder at his sport, as he has done a bit of football as well.
I thought that Steve Spagnuolo was excellent as well and he really did a good job on the Patriot forward.
John Elway is a blast from the past and he was a very good American Football Player.
I hope that they do another game at Wembley and if it's the Giants I'll try and get a ticket.
Seeing the Superbowl live JK, must have been a fabulous experience. |

It's PEYTON Manning Mike - yes, he was watching his baby brother (the loser in the family - until last night!) from a box high in the sky.
I agree about the BBC coverage - very good indeed, and the kid who hosted it did a really excellent job for a rookie.
I was lucky enough to attend the LAST Giants Superbowl victory (another nailbiter - a one point win in Tampa).
What a game! What a terrific escape from those Patriots Manning made - very like my favourite alltime Quarterback (and I went to his Superbowl wins too) JOHN ELWAY of the Broncos - I interviewed him as an 18 year old in the 80's. |
