I'm a Geelong girl, moved to the US because I had the audacity to marry an american. I have tried so hard to understand NFL (zero progress made on that), and the whole crazy hype around Superbowl. Hubby, to his credit doesn't go mad over the Superbowl so there's no Superbowl party like almost everyone else. Just watch this with him and he said it's the most accurate description of Superbowl he's seen. You get a US tick of approval on this one, Jimmy! He asked who you are so we're about to go on an adventure he's probably never going to forgive me for, but he asked, so.... Giggle and Hoot time! (It's nearly 10pm. He's going to hate me)
@@JamesDavy2009 I've told him about the field size difference and had to convert to stupid for him to realise how much running our players do. He's trying to metric because he sees how it makes perfect sense but the conversion is messing him up a bit... He's trying though. But yeah, when he realised the difference, he said our footballers are "top tier elite athletes that shit all over the over-glorified NFL players". For shits and giggles I also showed him cricket. He hates it as much as I do, but concedes that Aussie sportspersons are absolute champs and compared to what US sportspersons are paid, ours comparatively earn peanuts.
As an Australian in an ARL state (as opposed to the aerial ping pong they call football in the southern states) American football has always struck me as like Australian football, but with shoulder pads, forward passes, olden times units of measurement and a lot of standing around. But at least the scoring is more like Australian football… that round-ball game the British play has pretty underwhelming scores in the end…
I timed the plays in a game once and I don't remember any of them reaching 3 seconds duration. It could be possible though if you include the flight time of a long pass.@@TheJosh1337
It gets even worse when he plays the part of every State Premier and Prime Minister, not to mention other characters and the virus or weather event.

I went looking for the reason it was called football when the ball is hardly ever kicked. The current ruling is that the ball be 11 to 11 1/4" in length along the axis. I found a reference that indicated the ball was originally "about 12 inches (1 foot)". The suggestion being that the game played with a one foot long ball, was called "foot ball" in reference to the ball and not the pedal appendage.
@@troyhartley9681 It appears that the etymology of the word football is unclear, although the definition given by you is one of the suggested origins. However, in 1363, King Edward III of England issued a proclamation banning "...handball, football, or hockey; coursing and cock-fighting, or other such idle games" (Wikipedia article 'Football (word)'). The suggestion being that in the 14th century there was a distinction between football and other field sports played on foot.
@@ElizabethJones-pv3sj The fastest! 🤣 And there’s usually some times when they’re deciding calls or at the quarters…where they switch offense and defense. And to be serious…not everyone is actually “invested” in the game THAT much…just the people whose teams are in it! Well…& people who have a bet on it! 😂
I found this to be very funny yet accurate as an American who isn’t a sports fanatic. The commercials really are entertaining instead of the usual medication advertisements ,or old ones that have been repeated way to many times.
Water Departments have noted the pulse effect on the water supply and the sewerage system from lots of people flushing the toilet at the same time during Half-time. I imagine that it would place quite a strain on the whole system and could lead to breakdowns.
There's also a player position called the "tight end" but it has nothing to do with how tight his pants are. (My first girlfriend thought that was where the name came from. I didn't have the heart to tell her otherwise. Fortunately her mom told her.)
I worked with a teacher some years ago.....every year , without fail, he would be "sick" on the day of the Superbowl. And, miraculously, be perfectly well , the following day ! Thanks for reminding me 🧡
13 min musical at half time. Kick is called a punt, when they give the opposition the ball. When a team breaks a rule of the game. Ref's throw yellow flags on the field. But you can call it as - Ref's are throwing laundry on the field. 🏈
I have tried to watch Super Bowl one year. Fell asleep after a few minutes, woke up just before Half Time Show (might have been The Who) then nodded off again a few minutes after the game resumed. Woke up again well after the game had ended.
Every single time I think of american football from now until death I will be thinking of this. I cant wait until I meet some americans and have a chat about their favorite sport. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
If Rees pairs up with someone and does this (or similar) rapid fire conversation, would you see him be the straight line or the punchline? :) Gosh. I just imagined after-the-storm times
It's hell of a lot easier to understand than cricket! A game that takes more than one day to play and moves at a snail's pace? No thanks. Baseball and golf are slow enough for me.
Well at least we know what you will be watching tomorrow on valentines day Jimmy, are you still in quarantine , hope you and your wife have a nice day tomorrow.
All sports are crazy if you look at them from an outsiders perspective. Why are those peole chasing that object, is it valuable? If they want it so much why do they stop at that line painted on the ground when they could just take it home? For as long as people have spoken English there's been a game called football and the only rule that seems to have been consistent from one village to the next was that you _can_ kick the ball and try to have roughly equal numbers on each team (if you were playing against a team from outside your village you sat down in the pub the night before and worked out what the rules would be). In the 19th century the british public schools (the really posh schools like Eton and Harrow) wanted to come up with a set of rules so their students could play against each other. Most of them agreed on rules which formed the basis of the modern Soccer version of football but Rugby school wouldn't agree to the idea that you can't pick up the ball and came up with their own version of football which was obviously called Rugby (which later separated into 2 streams league & union). But Americans had been playing their own variations on village football and went through their own system to codify a set of rules to allow groups to play together (probably the old ivy league colleges, but I'm not sure). Australians also came up another version of football, Aussie Rules, which took inspiration from village football, rugby and (probably) an indigenous game.
My husband used to play American Football and I remember asking all these questions as well. Perfect explanation for everyone who's not American! 😂
It’s a pretty good explanation for us here in ‘Merica too😂
As an American, this is the best explanation of America football I've ever heard.

Play for 3 seconds. Stop for 30 seconds. Repeat.
Soccer= FIFA. Therefore Americans and Australians have been using the name "Football" the wrong, wrong way.

As a football (soccer) fan, the point who could use their feet made me laugh the hardest. The fact it's completely opposite is hilarious.
That’s because historically, Football refers to a sport played on foot rather on on a horse. So soccer isn’t the only Football.

He's talking about potato chips/tortilla chips or 'crisps' for our UK friends which is a staple at Super Bowl parties 🥳
We Aussies use chips for both, fries are hot chips, and chips are the potato/corn chips!
As an American, you're not wrong...
Forgot to mention that it also takes three hours to play a one hour game.
