Apart from the extraordinary drama series Friday Night Lights and a short attempt to review one of the NFL games (played 10 minuites and then returned it) I can't say I've had a close relationship with American football. Allthough the amount of rules has scared me off I've definitely wanted to learn more about it. The sport seemed like one of the most interesting sport in the world. Action packed like the movie 300 and tactical as hell. Tonight the time had finally come, the time for SUPER BOWL!!! We went home to Johans band members (they're having a punk band & Johan's the drummer) place where around 25 people had gathered around a small (for being american) television to watch the NFL championship between New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts.



Every year millions and millions of people gather to watch the championship game of their lands far most popular sport, or to laugh their asses of to some of the hilarious and crazy expensive commercials that's beeing aired on every short break. Every spot costs around 3 million USD! They put so much money into these commercials that it's the lands second biggest income recource, after warfare. If some evil hacker would kill the podcast, both the american government and the american people would be as revengeful as when the planes crashed into World Trade Centre. Fo sho!

Nough said, it was a great first game to watch! Thrilling, shifting, exciting. Saints started weak but managed to turn the game to a well deserved victory. I sat next to a butcher (he had a trucker moustache and trucker hat) who explained the rules every time I had a question. So now I think I would actually be able to watch a game without feeling completely lost.

American level up!
