I love to watch the news on the BBC and every now and then they even report on US sports. Today after the cricket, rubgy and soccer news, they had a short blurb on the Super Bowl which they said would be held in "Houston Texas" (oops sorry about that Jerry). It is very rare for US football to make the BBC news. That usually only happens once a year when there is a Super Bowl or whenever Jerry Jones fires a coach.
There will be a Lagos Super Bowl party at the US Embassy Rec Center piped in courtesy of the Armed Forced Network. Some die hard fans will stay up until 4:00 am to watch the whole thing and last year when the Saints were winning, there was quite a crowd (I'm told). I think it surprises many people about how normal our lives are over here. I always say being an expat means doing normal things in an not-so-normal environment. Next I will explain how watching television works over here.
