The Super Bowl explained for U.K. audiences

As the Super Bowl creeps ever closer to kickoff, more and more folks around the world are beginning to take notice. That includes the tea-drinking, pub-going, Harry Potter-creating Brits! So for their pleasure (and for that of Americans as well), I’ve clarified some of the finer points of American football and the Super Bowl itself so that we all may be one in enjoying the biggest sporting spectacle in the US of A.

Some of it is simple explanation of the rules, while other parts are pure tongue-in-cheek entertainment! Or, as my editor Pete Starr put it in a tweet…

So have yourself a bit of fun and check out my latest edition to Mud, Sweat and Beers, the Match Pint blog.

And if you don’t understand a few of the words, don’t worry, that just means you’re American. British Pete has Anglicized some of the words to appeal to the target audience, the citizens of the Queen and what have you.

And if you missed my basic break down of the two Super Bowl teams and the story lines surrounding them, you can find it here!
