Yet another announcer calling the Super Bowl the biggest sporting event in the world......

[marmar]

...... Compared to the World Cup, it's a little league game. American self-obsession knows no bounds.

[JeffR]

1. It's what we do.

Why?

Because WE'RE NUMBER ONE! USA! USA!! USA!!!

(Too lazy to add the snarkasm smilie.)

[htuttle]

2. But, but...the Super Bowl is the biggest 'FOOTBALL' event in the world!

Yeah, I'm being intentionally dense...:rofl:

[Gman]

3. That's the same mentality that gave us war in Iraq

[BlooInBloo]

4. WAAHHH!!!! Look at me! I'm a true progressive! I can't stand football and basketball!!!

hahahahah!

[marmar]

6. I love football and basketball.....I can't stand hubris.

[Dennis Donovan]

8. What sports are progressives supposed to like?

:shrug::D;)

[BlooInBloo]

10. (a) None, (b) Anything either primarily foreign, or else little-known, (c) none.

[Dennis Donovan]

14. I'm still holding out for Calvinball to become a professional sport...

:D

[whoneedstickets]

13. Amateur Sports!

Amateur Sports! Sports are great when we participate or when we watch people compete who do so for the love of sports. But if you're sitting on you ever-widening backside swilling beer, howling at some overpaid egotist who would be willing to break every rule in the book to get a better free-agent contract then do you REALLY love sports?

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. If you REALLY love sports, you don't give much thought to someone's salary

Indeed, in team sports, you don't give too much thought at all to individuals, except in the context of what they can do for the ball club.

[cherish44]

30. Yeah but in certain areas of this country

being a good college football player is the only hope a person of color can have to get even a smidgen of respect from white people

[vadawg]

16. Scandanavian Womens Beach Volleyball

greatest spectator sport on the planet.

[NightWatcher]

5. so a football announcer says that a football game is important?

well, duh.

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. Nothing like watching a 0-0 game played by midgets to get your juices flowing.

:puke:

[itsrobert]

9. Do you have anything else to gripe about?

BFD! Big Fuckin' Deal! Aren't you special.

[marmar]

11. Sorry. I'll clear my post with you first next time before I post it.....

:freak:

[itsrobert]

15. You'll be better served

Good call. Just PM me. Thanks.

[Drunken Irishman]

12. The horror!!!!!!!

[madeline_con]

17. Some people have never been anywhere, so they're unaware of

the rest of the world, except as something to be made fun of, exploited or bombed.

[Davis_X_Machina]

18. World Cup's quadrennial... n/t

[CLANG]

19. maybe it is the biggest sporting event in "his" (small) world.

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. Because he's making his living off of it.

[flvegan]

21. Americans also think that *this* is football.

It's American football, but that's as far as it goes.

[enlightenment]

22. Well, let's be honest . . .

in terms of popularity, the most popular game is cricket . . .

So sayth a footie fan, who loves her club even if they are (still) wallowing in the Championship (Up the Blades!)

[depakid]

23. No one gives a shit about it in Australia, that's for sure

Even though for the 1st time ever- there's an Aussie playing in it.

[ConcernedCanuk]

24. Super bowl - is that like a big toilet?

[Elwood P Dowd]

25. Yes, and The World Cup is a big outhouse

that often ends in a boring 0-0 tie. After which, the little boys kick around a little ball into a net. The little boys who kick the most balls into the little net win a big trophy that looks like a big dick.

[Divine Discontent]

26. hey you noticed it looked like a dick, don't make it sound like it's a bad thing that it

therefore looks like one to you! there's no shame in it (I think it looks like a gold Drumstick ice cream cone, but don't let that stop you from making your macho-bs questionable comment)

[cherish44]

28. The world cup is probably a bigger deal overall in the rest of the world

But yeah soccer is for pansies ya know GOD BLESS AMERICA! :sarcasm:
BTW crazed soccer fans make the even the craziest American sports fans look like 4 year olds playing Duck, Duck, Goose...I seriously feared for my life when I went to a soccer match in the UK.

[Elwood P Dowd]

31. Soccer players kick, scream, and fall on the ground complaining of pain.

Sounds like a sport the republicans would be good at.

[LSdemocrat]

29. Is that the thing were grown "men" dive to the ground and cry like babies at the slightest touch?

You know the thing that the Italian diving team won a few years ago?

[Elwood P Dowd]

32. You have figured out soccer.

A bunch of little spoiled brats kicking a ball around and then falling on the ground in pain. The ultimate republican sport.
