Technofreak:wakaridnnz: After the game I thought it was a bit of a stretch when the Fox reporter asked one of the players what it felt like to be a world champion.
Well, since it's pretty well not played anywhere else one could forgiven for making the bold statement of being a world champion.
I do have to agree with you though.
Technofreak:johnr: Super what?
Yep, that sums it up for vast majority here in NZ.

Watched the game after work, without the USA ads it's better with fast forward.
How long does the game last after you take out all the stoppages?

The game lasts for one hour without what you call, "the stoppages". Four quarters of 15 minutes each.
American football is the ONLY sport I watch on TV. I'm a NZer, but lived for five years in the US and grew to understand and love the sport.

The game lasts an hour, but the ball is in play for only 12-13 minutes. Each play lasts an average of 6 seconds before the ball goes dead. The time it takes to play a game, with all the ad breaks etc, is about 3 hours.
So you get 12 mins of action in 3 hours. No wonder people get bored by it.

i love superbowl. cups are boring.
DKe: Don't know why you are making so much fuss over a sporting event in America which is also one of the biggest sporting event in the world. I prefer to watch NFL than football/soccer but I don't make a topic about the amount of coverage and headlines for football games that are happening in Europe and not in NZ. From the amount of response you have, it seems a good number of NZers like it.
You can also say as to why is it relevant to know that a foreign actor has died. Simple there are people out there that cares and that is why Hoffman's dead is currently one of the most read article in NZHerald. Why does Stuff have a top headline about Ian Thorpe being admitted to rehab?? Why should I care? Because its gossip to others. There are enough people out there that are interested from Miley Cyrus' twerking story to Knox trial. The two out of three links you provided are entertainment news. It would be nice to know what movies are coming up and check out their trailers. And who wouldn't want to know the latest gossip about Scarlett Johansson.
But we are talking about sports right? Well I asked myself why do tv news cover sports here in NZ when there are barely any people watching from the stands? Why should we care who won when a lot people doesn't even bother to come to the game. I agree that people from America here are fewer in number, but that doesn't mean they are the only group that watch the Super Bowl. Since we are expressing our opinion, I can't imagine European football to be a better quality than NFL when it has no video replay and players being divers and drama queens, but I still going to watch the World Cup.
If you get to know the rules and play the game, hopefully you will understand. :)
