What is The Super Bowl?

Is it some kind of eating competition? I'm guessing from the name that it involves very large quantities of food?

It's a television program showcasing some very funny commercials which mostly pimp beer and junk food.

So does nobody actually know what it is? I've just seen lots of posts by people saying how it effected their dieting recently? It must be a fairly big food event.

It's about 5 hours of commercial broadcast. Of which there are only 60 minutes of actual play time.

Waste of time. That's why I recordered Chelsea vs Man U and watched that instead.

The Super Bowl was a football game, sort of bracketing a Madonna concert. Well, that's the way most of my gay men friends saw it, anyway, and I tend to agree.

You really don't know what it is? It's a huge end of the year pro-football game. Lots of people go to parties where there is always LOTS of food..

lol.

My daughter wanted to know when we were going to the bull game and if there would be bulls there, because she doesn't like them.

Um..are you serious?? See I thought this was a joke until the second post..It's a GIANT football game in the states that typically people watch in party mode (hence the dieting issue). Known for it's football, extremely expensive commercials, and half time show.

People party, drink a lot, make a lot of crappy food that's hard to resist. Watch commercials, bet money, watch some musical performances, and there's an (american) football game in there somewhere as well.

Second highest caloric intake day of the year in the USA, next only to Thanksgiving. So, if you guessed an eating contest, you'd be pretty bang on.

I thought it was a joke also, sorry! I'm not usually into football, but this year the Super Bowl was a HUGE deal for us in Indianapolis, the city that hosted the event. It was a fun time!!

And LOTS of beer.

I think a lot of us forget that not everyone on this site is from the United States. Here is a link that might help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl

Super Bowl is when 2 football teams that have played through out the season and have won the playoffs play against each other. This year was the NY Giants and New England Patriots, It's a day where everyone pigs out on wings, heros,pizza, and all other types of crappy but delicious foods, and you drink lots of beer. Big deal for us Americans. At half time, some well known artist, in this case Madonna, performs. After the halftime performance the game continues until a team wins.

It's an event where non-achievers gather and worship those engaged in a sport they could never dream of playing well.
People with little going on in their life escape their misery and self-loathing by watching others succeed, pretending the success of their chosen team is connected somehow to their lowly existence.

Go Giants!
Anyway, my life has meaning for another year....

I think OP is kidding, that seems like a British sense of humour to me :laugh:

IIt is the championship game for the National Football League. It is an American tradition, although we Canadians do enjoy it as well. Typically it involves a million hours of pre-pre game, pre-game, game and post game commentary, interwoven with a billion dollars worth of commercials that focus on (in no particular order) cars, beer, subs, tortilla chips and websites. And part way through the game there is a mini concert. This year it was Madonna proving that she can still lipsync but not dance!!!!

Hope this helps (and by the way, the New York Giants won and left Tom Brady and his celeb-status in the dust!!!)
