I'm watching the Superbowl live in the UK.
Any tips on the what is going on? I have worked out the offensive team have to gain a certain amount of yards within a certain number of downs?
Any other tips welcome. Its 11:30pm here so I might not see the whole game.
Does it last for 4 x15 minutes?
yes, 4 quarters of 15 minutes each which usually end up being at least double that plus a halftime show and the last quarter usually ends up being roughly an hour so the super bowl ends up being about 5 hours in length not counting the 5 hour pre-game show.
Enjoy!
4 downs to gain 10 yards. If the 10 yards are not acheived after the 3rd down, the offence has the option to either try for a field goal or punt. If they select to go for it on the 4th down, usually when there is a very small amount of field needed to cover, if they miss they cede the ball to the other team at that spot on the field.
Still awake?
Thanks poopsiecakes. We have a full 5 hour program live on BBC. Amazing you can make 60 minutes last for 5 hours.
We don't have any commercials on BBC so we get pundits every time you go for a break.
I found a beginners guide online I think I am getting the hang of it but I don't think I will last until 4am. Got to go to work tomorrow. Might last until half time.
Who is favourite to win?
You just missed a David Beckham underwear commercial.

Ouch somebody just got a torn ACL - there goes 6-9 months of operation and rehab
Yes, one thing I love about soccer is that the clock runs no matter what - even counting the extra time added at the end of each half or in situations where they play extra in the case of a tie, you know what time it'll be over.
Apparently, the Patriots are favored to win...
ok that David Beckham commercial was HAWT guys

First of all, it was something to see, and second of all I thought you were a non believer!
