How the Super Bowl looked to an Englishman:
"The TV audience get two sets of pundits. The "play-by-play" guys are skinny and stand up and are called Crib Collingworth and Joe Buck. The "color" guys look like bull gorillas with buzz cuts and they sit down and shout. They shout VERY LOUD. They have to in order be heard over the blasting rock music. It's as if the trade name war fought between the World Wildlife Fund and the World Wrestling Federation had been settled by a merging of the two organisations' most marketable resources - rutting mega fauna and screaming bodybuilders."
