Afraid not. I find US sports too long and tedious with vast amounts of hype. Odd how they only seem to be popular in North America.

I have followed it for years. Many moons ago I went on a Rugby tour to the States and played three games in Florida against college gridiron teams. We got absolutely trounced. They were fitter harder and all round more committed than us. It was then I started to follow the game. Its getting a bigger following over here now with the London games sold out in hours of the tickets being on sale. I agree about the cramming an hours entertainment into four hours airtime though.......Ah well I will be watching the game live with my two dogs a beer and a large pack of crisps

That's how I follow it now. I don't subscribe to the NFL channel. I really enjoy Jason Bell and Osi comments it's all . I totally understand people not being interested it's their choice. I have no interest in either the Premier league football or the cup competitions after the town are knocked out. That's my choice

In the pre-digital-satellite era, I used to live in a country where only recorded sport was shown and this chiefly consisted of NFL football. I must admit that after a while I began to get into it. Helps of course when you get to understand the rules. I don’t follow the game much these days, but always recognise the team names etc.

The last Super Bowl I watched also featured the 49ers, “Joe Montana to Jerry Rice, touchdown!” I used to follow the Rams because they played in similar colours to Town. Like us they rarely won anything.

Yep; really looking forward to the game and great match up. A fan of neither but going for a 49ers win as McCaffrey is phenomenal.

Me too, and fair play to C4 for bringing it to our screens. They did the same for Sumo wrestling, for a short time.

Announced redundancies and a focus on digital over linear. Competitive market though. Will their content (and pockets) compete with the big US streamers?
Just to add...Netflix, Disney, Paramount have 260m, 150m, 70m subscribers. Excluding Prime (~200m) as membership has other benefits. Britbox, which CH4 has now joined, has 3.4m.
CH4 also pulling plug on Box music channels; a strange acquisition with not merging with their digital offering considering the competition in that market too.

I have no interest in either the Premier league football or the cup competitions after the town are knocked out. That's my choice Do take an interest (follow the Commanders) and used to follow the NFL weekly show when it was on the BBC and last season - however the presenter this season (Craig Doyle?) really winds me up with his nonsensical and idiotic comments. Jason Bell I have always found irritating but always managed to block him out!! Nat Coombs is good and should be used more often.

If Houston happened to make the final I'd make the effort to stay up but its just a bad time otherwise. Granted the season games (for the most part) fall on the Sunday because of the college game but I still don't understand why they don't move the season finale to the Saturday. I plan to avoid the score and watch it in the morning as whilst I'm not a fan of either team with the likes of Mahomes and McCaffrey it should be well worth a look; should be a cracking game and one that could go either way.

I’m a Steelers fan for my sins! Have no time for the 49ers so it’s Chiefs for me! Every time I hear the 49ers getting mentioned, I always think about Jon Bon Jovi calling them a bunch of, and I quote, “West Coast F*gs” live on stage after they beat his Giants in a playoff game! I understand he got into a lot of trouble for that one!

Dolphins follower for many years. Used to watch when it first hit Channel 4, and had been to Florida. Went to Wembley in 1987 for Rams vs Broncos game, when I was stewarding there so got a cheap ticket.
Would dearly love to see the Dolphins but the price of decent tickets is nearly as eye watering as the formula 1.
Which reminds me, what happened to Christian Horner??

I've been in an NFL.com fantasy league with my friends since 2015; still haven't learned all the rules of the actual sport, but really enjoy the fantasy gaming each season.
Rapidly tiring of this year's Kelce/Swift triangulation, however.
