Superbowl 2014

Pre-game

Superbowl. I think it may be the biggest event in the US after Thanksgiving. Event probably downplays it. It's an institution.

It's Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos. It kicks off at 6.25pm at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey (very thankful we landed at Newark yesterday otherwise travel would have been a nightmare!)

We've decided to support the Seahawks based on the fact Matt has a big client in Seattle and has been there twice in the past few months.

Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are playing at half time and it appears that even commercials that are aired for the first time are highly anticipated.

We know nothing about American Football. So took to Google to find some helpful links:

So come on the Seahawks. We're not watching Sons of Anarchy for this. It better be good! One thing I expect is it will be long, Matt has just said 'oh it's only 4 15 minute quarters', Lets see what time it actually finishes...

Post Game

The Seahawks smashed it 43-8. Which is particularly impressive given they are the strongest defensive team and the broncos the strongest offensive team (I've learnt something).

Reviews of the game:

Matt - 'Good fun, good game I enjoyed it'

Me - 'Bruno Mars was amazing'

So that's our first Super Bowl over with.
