It's the most watched one-off sporting event in the world. They have like "Superbowl weekend" where it's all parties and stuff.

Well yeah, I'd expect it to be big in the states. I meant how I hear people irl talking about it in the UK even though for the rest of the year I never hear a word about NFL.

Go Saints!!!

Hate the Colts

I own Madden 06,07,08,09 & 10. I used to stay up when they had live games on Five (almost every 2 days until Sky came in), bought the 'jerseys' etc etc. How dare you condemn my support to NFL.

No, I still don't know all the rules either.

I'm going to back saints, not sure why, just have a feeling.

That's because Sky own the sporting scene but still fail to bring us all the football that they have available to them.

Super Bowl week is nearly here and for the first time ever, the traditional Pro Bowl game between the AFC and NFC 'allstars' will be played BEFORE the Super Bowl, this upcoming weekend.

Sorry for the bump but we are just THREE days away from Super Bowl 44, and the build-up has been bigger than ever.

Who do you think will be the dominant quarterback come Sunday - Peyton Manning of the Colts or Drew Brees of the Saints?

I think Manning would be the dominant one of the two, personally.

Oh and EA Sports have predicted Saints 35-31 Colts, having made only one complete fail of prediction over the years. Note; prediction don't mean it's gonna happen :P
