    The Super Bowl will be on Sunday February 3rd at 3:30 PST 6:30 EST.

    Vote on who will win and if you like guess the score.

    Who will have the best commercial?

    Following Nate Silver's lead, I say the Santa Clara Ravens :eek: Although his earlier prediction of a Seahawk/Patriot bowl, well...

    Can't be bothered to get up early Monday morning to look for an internet stream though (time zones). So, ya'll enjoy it without me.

    Judging from coverage on CCTV channel 5 I'd say snooker :) Basketball for all, and ya never heard of the CBA? Drogba spent 6 months trying to boost soccer. Shanghai-ed, but it didn't stick. Li Na = Chinese tennis, but who knows if being somewhere in the top 10 will be seen as 'good enough'. I thought she played superbly in Australia. Ping-pong is the obvious answer. I saw several hundred ping-pong tables set up at the Olympic Park for what was to have been a record attempt (most simultaneous games). On the internet, I cannot find any information on the outcome of that event.

    Defining sports more broadly, drinking baijiu is highly competitive.

    Diving, ok then, gynmastics (with or without the rhythmic), but those are not 'sports for the masses'. In fact, you'd probably be amazed how few people here know how to swim.

    Every morning, young and old are doing tai chi of one form or another. There is nothing like walking past 50 (um) elderly ladies swinging swords to music. I also missed badminton, most often played with an imaginary net.

    Funny but few people tried Tai Chi in a park in San Diego and the police asked them to use wooden swords.

    JMD, your Jing probably used the super-concealed hunched-over stealth serve and you had no idea which way it was spinning. but here we are, polluting your super bowl thread. Time for some Manly football discussions.

    49'ers by 7 points. That's my prediction. Got to keep it in California.

    It won't be any Toyota Prius commercial! ;)

    Best SB commercial was a few years back.... guy eating pizza with Tobasco sauce and a mosquito bit him, flew away and exploded.

    The Acura NSX commercial was funny. The movie stars were competing for the first car and Leno came in with a Flying Squirrel custom and beat out Seinfeld. Jerry was hilarious.

    24-13 49ers. flacco doesn't match up well against their defense. kapernick will perform in the last quarter when the ravens defense runs out of gas. only caveat is if he let's pollard take him out of the game/league/life before then.

    With the exception of Michael Oher, I hate the Ravens with a visceral as well as cerebral reaction and if they win I will forever stop watching the NFL. That seems logical to me, so there!

    p.s. so far no votes for the Ravens?!?!?! LoL! The only team in the NFL that could overtake the Raiders for playing dirty ball.

    ^ The original Raven's helmet logo sort of looked like the Raider's
