I think I'll not watch the superbowl this year. Partially because I think I gotta go to work (working on the weekend on the third straight week), but also because I don't want to jinx the eagles now. Everytime I watch the superbowl, the team I don't want to win, actually wins, so...

I'll pay you a million $s if you watch the Superbowl and cheer for the Patriots.

Nah. I'll probably not be able to watch the first two quarters anyway...

Nah I don't really care that much. I'm the only one I know who actually knows what a superbowl is, so...

Yeah, somehow I just don't see the Super Bowl being a big deal in Brazil.

It gets a small paragraph at the sports paper the following day.

I don't see why. You do realize where I'm from, right?

Yes, I do. Its just so difficult for me to imagine a place that covers the Superbowl so little when it is so overhyped here.

Very few countries outside North America give a rat's ass about the Super Bowl. You gotta remember that in almost any other country, "football" is a sport that involves kicking a ball around a field into a netted goal. When 90% of the world's population thinks a completely different thing when the word "football" is mentioned, it's very understandable that the Super Bowl is barely given a mention in other countries' mass media outlets. Hell, can you name who won the most recent CFL championship? That's only one country away from us and I cannot even do that. Why should they care about our sports when we can't even give two shits about their's? Karma, baby. What goes around, comes around. I'm surprised it even gets as much of a mention as Ric says it does.

Soccer pretty much dominates the spot here, followed by tennis, volleyball, marathons, and other olympic sports. NBA has a little bit of coverage here, back in the mid 90s you could spot a game on a non-cable station sometimes, today you might see the highlights of a game the day after. Football is broadcasted by ESPN and FOX over here, but has little to no attention of the media. I've seen newspapers and sports show talk a little bit about the superbowl the day after, but only for the past 5 years or so. There are some amateur football leagues in Brazil, they play on the beach, 90% of them are in Rio. I've played beach football once, as a quarterback. In one play I kept the ball for too long, was tackled into the ground and hurted my knee, so that was the end of it. Baseball is hardly broadcast, ESPN has shown a few games for the past 2 or 3 years, but it gets absulutely no coverage from the media. I'm still not sure of what the baseball rules are.

I'm still pulling for the Eagles. Halftime and it's 7-7. Low scorer. But at least it hasn't been a rout.
