Smuts' NFL Thread

Recommended Posts

I was working in London last year during the Super Bowl and really enjoyed the TV commentators' handling of the game. They managed a nice balance of explaining some of the more obscure/nuanced bits of the game as they happened, without making it feel like a documentary on American football.

 

Back in the States this year, one thing that bothers me about the American broadcast is the strange, faux gravitas with which our commentators treat the Super Bowl. It's like we're supposed to think of it as some kind of solemn event. Have to say upon reflection I much preferred the English announcers' treatment of the game as simply a spectacle of sporting entertainment - nothing more and nothing less.

What's with all the fat men? I never watch this sport (peering into the Panthers bandwagon) and there are actual obese men on the field in full kit and nobody's escorting them off the pitch. Someone please explain

Haha yeah he was a one off, there's several here and they're like proper Man vs Food flubberguts. GTF is just the kind of guy who goes home and has a garlic baguette before bed, no shame in that

You have to remember, these players have very specific roles, so have only a few things to celebrate personally.

Yeah it must be such a rush when you've had your coach in your ear telling you to smash your man.

I find this game really interesting
