A few comments. I'm still trying to work out if the ads are more important than the football. Either way, it seems like a close call. Also, my American friends tell me that rugby is hard to understand - after watching that game that's going to be my new definition of the pot calling the kettle black. I've actually seen a few game of gridiron, both on the TV and when visiting the States, but I'm none the wiser as to the rules.
Anyway good to see New Orleans win after all that city has gone through.

In the U.S. the Superbowl is a huge party night. If you don't have any personal interest in the two teams playing (many don't as ther are plenty of other teams to root for) the commercials and socializing are even more fun.
It is probably the biggest advertising night of the year.
I will agree with you as far as the rules go. I don't understand Aussie Rules one bit. NFL is what I understand.
I do know that some Aussie players seem to migrate over to the NFL because as punters and place kickers they can extend their careers a decade or more.
