No way am I going to argue Rugby Vs American football. American football is unique to the US and in Canada they play a similar form of football.

follow NBA Oklahoma thunder because of Nzder Steven Adams plays for them..
He comes from a family of 18 brothers and sisters of which all are talented sportspeople.

When selecting an olympic team, we don't need to scour the country, all we have to do , is to nominate the Adams family His sister Valerie is WAs Olympic Champion shot putter twice.
I notice Adams gets a lot of confrontational attention from other players who regard him as being soft because he does not react back.However they should note that Adams was heading down the road of being a prime candidate in one of our worst gangs, where inflicting serious bodily harm upon another was the entry criteria for sure

Man what a SUPER BOWL to remember! It's got everything, come back, over time, and Lady GAGA!

Love them or hate them, you got to admit Tom Brady and the Patriots are the best NFL dynasty ever! I watched the game over a friends house and he lives only a few miles away from NRG stadium, when the Air Force Thunderbirds did a flow over the stadium live on t.v. about two seconds later you can hear them and feel the rumble of those F-16 jets. My friends dog got scared and decided to went inside the house after that..lol, he hates the sound of thunder.

Great game..I never watch halftime. the last Super Bowl halftime I watched was at the first Super Bowl in LA. There was a circus going on at halftime. a real circus. That game was broadcast on two networks,NBC & CBS.

As for the Patriots..what can I say? they are simply the greatest team in the NFL from top to bottom.

I can't stand them..but I do respect them.

Can you believe that catch?!?!?! Edelman is now immortal.

I gave up on the Patriots at half time, even after the third quarter. I kept watching just for the sake of the "complete experience". It still boggles my mind how they came back and how the Falcons fell apart...

The cheapest one was $2000 - $3000...

Wow! 80000+ enthusiasts. Last year we had some people travel to Chicago's Soldiers Field to watch NZ play Ireland in a Rugby Game.That would have set them back a similar amount of money if one factors in airtickets @ say $1600 f and say 5 days hotel accommodation $1000 plus game tickets

A face book friend of mine was offering $2500 for each tickets because they have to go to a wedding on that day therefore couldn't make it. They were season tickets holder that's how they got the tickets. I was willing to buy them both but sadly the offer was never mention again.:(:confused:

Most likely, someone else got to him before you did...

More importantly, who has a wedding on the day of Super Bowl??? I would unfriend them immediately...:p:D

So the only people that can afford to go to Super Bowl are: Plumbers,Architects,Doctors, Lawyers,and people in the Finance industry.
