It feels great to have participated with the american people by
watching the superbowl. Making up the cheezeburger dawgs with route
beer on the day was also a nice touch I felt. SO much better then the
usual "soccor" we have here in australia :-( I envy you guys so much.
Anyways done some googling and it showed plenty of proof I was part of
a great thing:

The New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts
has become the most-watched programme in US TV history, early figures
show.

A record 106.5 million people, watched the game last weekend,
according to Nielsen media.

The figure tops the 1983 finale of medical drama M*A*S*H which drew
105.97 million viewers.

The previous Super Bowl record was last year's game between Pittsburgh
and Arizona, watched by 98.7 million.

There had been much interest in the game between The Colts -
considered the favourites after winning the title just three years ago
- and The Saints who were appearing in their first NFL title game.

The Saints' resurgence had been seen as a mirror of the ongoing
recovery of New Orleans after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in
2005, and the underdogs' story propelled viewership.

Margin of error

The early viewing figures also drew some congratulations from Alan
Alda, the star of M*A*S*H.

"If the *M*A*S*H audience was eclipsed, it was probably due in large
part to the fact that the whole country is rooting for New Orleans to
triumph in every way possible," he said.

"I am, too, and I couldn't be happier for them. I love that city."

However, it may be hard to tell which programme was really watched by
more people because of the margin for error in such numbers.

Nielsen's estimate on Monday was preliminary, and could change with a
more thorough look at more figures due on Tuesday.

Sunday's Super Bowl was viewed by more than double the 48 million
Americans who watched President Barack Obama's State of the Union
address in January.

An average 26.8 million people have tuned in to the latest series of
American Idol, which is currently the most-watched series on US
television.

We're all scared. You hid in that bed because you think there's still
hope. But soldier, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that
you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner
you'll be able to function as a human is supposed to function. Without
brainwashing. Without stupidity. Without subservience. Self respect
depends on it.


Without sense. Without thought. Without dignity.

While I share the sentiment about soccer, I would much rather watch rugby
than football.

At least in soccer they are moving a lot. Football ranks up there with
baseball and golf..... a lot of time wasted and a few seconds of action.
I watch the occasional hockey game, but for none stop action I like
equestrian jumping events. One horse and rider come in and to the
circuit and then as soon as that one is finished the next ones come
start. There is very little wasted time.

I found out it was the biggest watched game ever in history in Canada
too!! Wonder how many people around the world, total, watched it.

Those who don't like American football usually:
A. don't like violent sports (perfectly reasonable)
and/or
B. haven't taken the hundreds of hours necessary to really understand
the sport (also perfectly reasonable)

There is time between plays, but that's necessary for strategizing.
During the action, the movements are often very complex. It's a very
cerebral sport. Unfortunately, playing it often damages that very
cerebrum.

It was a really good game. I wish they had Canadian football on
broadcast TV here. When I was a kid, it gave me my football fix
during the Summers.

I guess I'm the exception covered by your use of the word 'usually'. :-) I
started playing football when I was in the 6th grade, and continued through
high school. My dad was a football fanatic.

Rugby cannot be viewed as non-violent, and it is a pretty strategic game.

Just saying. :-)

I live 25 miles from the Canadian border in WA and we go to play in
Vancouver BC a lot. We get Canadian TV
here. I always liked to watch the Olympics on Canadian TV because you
got to see way more of the Worlds
teams and not just the US.

That is not the case with me. I played football in high school. I watch
hockey games. I just find football really boring to watch. There is a
relatively small percentage of the game where there is actually anything
happening.

I have trouble with both American and Canadian coverage. If you watch
the games on American TV it is pretty well limited to covering the
American competitors, and when watching Canadian TV it is almost
exclusive covering the Canadians. There are probably at least a dozen
events going on at any one time and the air time is filled with idiotic
sportscaster comments and interviews with competitors from each
respective country instead of constant coverage of the ongoing events.

Back in the olden days, ABC's Wide World of Sports showed much more
sports, and much less human interest. We bought a TV for the last
Summer games. It broke after a year and a half. We didn't replace it
until this week, in time for the Super Bowl and the Winter games. I
hope this one lasts longer.
