So the Superbowl was quite good then. I wonder how many Brits gave up at half-time and missed a classic?

Also... much as it pains me to say it... Gaga was a great choice for the show.

Any of you lot bother watching, maybe those on the bench in particular?

I thought that for many years but find the huge strategic element quite interesting. The stop-start nature can take some getting used to for sure.
