Does anyone on here know what channel the Superbowl is gonna be on next Sunday here this year?? I read somewhere on another thread on here that it is gonna be on Pay Per View this year!! I really hope not!!! Last year it was on Channel Five!!
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers? Never heard of them - will watch with intrigue.
And by the way it was infact on ITV1 live last year as well as Sky Sports 1.
I hear Mike Carlson will be on the BBC team which is great news.[/QUOTE/]
Tom Petty was a member of The Travelling Willburys combo group in the late 80s, with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and the late Roy Orbison!! Does this jog your memory???
Go and vsit www.tompetty.com to learn all about him!! Hes huge in the USA and was here as well in the late 70s and 80s!!! In fact it was this country who first catapulted him to worldwide fame in the late 70s, when his first album was released!!
Thanks I'll take a look
Should be interesting though as the younger population will properly not heard of them, but it should be enjoyable as (apprantly) they do energetic performances lol

Totally agree with you. Mike is ace!:)
They should also try and get Gary Imlach as well...but maybe I'm hoping for the "Moon on a stick" here?:p
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers!!! I cant wait!! This will give this fantastic muscian HUGE worldwide exposure, like it did with Prince last year!! Thats of course, if the Beeb goes all the way and shows the WHOLE event of course!!!But, knowing them, they wont!!!!!
And to correct some posters it was on Channel Five last year!!!
Was it ?, Blimey that must have been some party I can't remember any of that night !:p:confused::D
BBC = World Feed + NFL commentary
Sky = FOX Feed + FOX commentary
?
I think I'll watch the Superbowl on the BBC... I subscribe to Sky sports for their regular NFL games but as Mike Carlson will be on the beeb I'd sooner watch him than the drivel Sky will pump out.

I'll just download the commercials the next day! The football bit bores me!
But if you have motorized dishes, look on 12.5w, 15w and 22w for feeds - with commercials usually
BBC2 22:50 Super Bowl Live - American Football - Patriots v Giants.
Live coverage from the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona, where the New England Patriots take on the New York Giants. Live on the BBC for the first time, the Patriots will look to underline their status as the best team of their era by winning the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven years. Presented by Jake Humphrey, Mike Carlson and Rod Woodson. Commentary from Dick Stockton and Sterling Sharpe.
(Stereo, Widescreen, Live, Subtitles)
There is also.......
The Road to the Superbowl (Sport)
Time - 23:20 to 23:50 (30 minutes long).
When - Thursday 31st January on BBC 2
Jake Humphrey looks ahead to the Super Bowl XLII, which takes place in Phoenix on Sunday. The game is the culmination of five gruelling months of competition for the two teams, with the prize- a Super Bowl ring- now tantalisingly close. Last year saw the Indianapolis Colts beat the Chicago Bears 29-17 to claim their second title, more than 35 years after the first. Jake is joined by Mike Carlson, who will discuss the key players in Sunday's clash.

Great, another reason not to watch it. Can't stand the guy, who I met during the World League days at a Claymores game. Like some americans, full of his own self importance.
Does anyone know what time the half time show will be on? I want to see Tom Petty and I don't know anything about American Football. if kick-off is 11:20 UK time, what time would the half time show start?

As far as I know the BBC has never screened any NFL games before so why are they suddenly showing the Superbowl. Or is it some sort of deal with Sky ? And why aren't they using the HD feed on BBC HD
They showed the NFL game from London last year, Sky will have the HD feed. And the BBC has the Superbowl because ITV lost the rights to show it (I think)

But isn't this rather like showing the FA Cup Final but none of the games leading up to it ? Are we expecting the BBC to show more NFL games next season:eek:

Think they're trying to get any sort of sport as most of the good ones have now buggered off to other channels/networks. Leaving Snooker, Bowls and (some) Horse Racing on the BBC.

Maybe he/you were just having a bad day?
Also, Dick Stockton? Ugh. Spiro Dedes was great when he last did it. Was that last year? I forget now.
Failing that I'll use the radio commentary and the drive charts on nfl.com
around 1 am i guess
Isn't she in the pre-game section on Fox, being hosted by Ryan Seacrest? Looks like Fox are getting desperate to try to resurrect American Idol.

I think both. She is also, apparently, part of the half time show also.
BBC for me.
