Brandi Carlile has stolen one of Scott Parker's suits.

I thought she pulled it off quite well tbf

This guy singing the anthem is a bit limp.

23:30 KO my arse!

 

[Alan]

Yeah I don’t know what I was thinking taking the 1800 EST listing as the kickoff time. They started pregame coverage at 1400 EST!

A bit like America tbf

I booked tomorrow off work so not an issue, but we're likely talking a 2am second half start. Which will test my powers of stamina, especially as I started drinking about 8 hours ago

Although I'm expecting the Seahawks to have it pretty much won by the end of the 3rd quarter.

New England might be in for a long, long evening offensively if they can't protect Maye better than this.

Jesus Christ, and I thought being up early for Wolves' matches was tough!

Sipping on one of Charlotte's best IPAs, myself.

I'm on Bud Light, isn't that compulsory?

Believe it or not, you could do worse.

I currently have Leffe Brune on the go. Have half a bottle of merlot and got some G&T on ice for later.

And the cat keeping me company but currently digging her claws into my leg. Owwwwwww!

God damn, you're almost as high falutin' as Drake Maye's high school!

God, I haven't had an abbey ale in so long. Too long, I now think.

Can't beat a bit of Belgian.

Got a couple of fairly decent craft beers available if I choose to go that route also.

Watching the game alone. Wife went to bed at 4pm (she has fibromyalgia), I don't feel like drinking and am expecting a one-sided game that I have no real interest in seeing.
But Superbowl is a legit good excuse to over indulge. So Bahn mi, hot dogs, nachos, wings, chips, guac and salsa for another three hours.

All plant-based, obviously.

 

[Alan]

Man, y'all that frequent this thread make me feel like I'm chillin' on the couch with my buds.

I know it isn't an intentional thing, but that just makes me appreciate it all the more. Cheers, guys.

The way both defences are operating so far that field goal might be the winning score

I usually go for stuff with a stupid ABV (Alcohol By Volume; I realized y'all might not call it the same thing in the UK); I am known to crush an Imperial IPA. But God damn do I love a yeasty-ass Belgian, and even moreso a Belgian wit.

There's a Canadien (French Canada) brewery, Unibroue, that does incredible Belgian beers, from a brilliant wit to a "are you sure this isn't a liqour?" quadruple, that I am lucky enough to have available in North Carolina. If they're available in the UK or become available in the future, I can't recommend them enough.

Addendum: Oh, silly me; La Fin du Monde is their flagship beer. Should have mentioned.

People will be pissed tomorrow if it's a defensive slugfest all night, but God damn if that's not peak football to me.

I have no issues with that type of game as a one off. Defence wins championships after all.

I have some 11% de Garre triple's that I brought back from a bar (of the same name) in Brugge last year. Figured that might be a bit strong for this time of night though.
