Non-Japanese Otaku are always interesting, because being an Otaku is pretty much the only thing we have in common.

Since he's technically only two years older than me, that's not too surprising. It's a little surprising coming from a pro football player (would've been more so if I heard of something like this a few years younger), but eh. I mean he would've been 9-10 years old when Pokemon premiered.

This does make me wonder why Viz and Sentai never advertised Eyeshield during the Superbowl.

Gotta catch 'em all, I guess? Laughing
I really think playing Pokemon is much better way to increase fighting spirit than partying all night long.

I'm still on Seahawks though. Too bad I'm not watching it right now... *sigh*

Neither am I! I don't have cable. Well technically I do. My cable company sent me a box a few months ago but I never installed it.

Neither of you guys even really need to watch it. The Broncos have been getting outright slaughtered.

I'm watching the Super Bowl too, and this is the first time the Broncos really is bad in this one. The Seahawks is just dominating the whole game, this is the first Super Bowl game where the Broncos stink.

Given the score, maybe this guy should have spent more time training himself rather than his pokemon.

why do you need cable to watch it? I don't have cable, I can watch it on HD Fox local channel.

First? The Broncos hold the record for the largest loss in a Super Bowl history: XXIV Broncos 10, 49ers 55 (1990)

Today's crushing now puts 'em on the tie 3rd list as well as previously 4th. That's 3 in the Top 5! (Or is that Bottom 5?) When the Broncos go down, they crash 'n burn and kill innocent moeblobs along the way! Laughing

I'm not a huge sports fans but this was an interesting tidbit to hear.

Too bad they lost badly though...

He really should have used Lock-on because the tackling by the Broncos was pathetic for most of the game.

Other than the obvious lack of an extra $4 million burning a hole in their pockets?

I don't know about you, but I don't live in US so I'm unable to watch it without cable.

Well, actually it's not the reason why. I have cable, but I live in a country where people can't tell the difference between rugby and American football (or handegg, whatever you say) with time difference roughly 12 hours, so... I couldn't watch it because I had to work. *sigh*
My brother took his day off though, just to watch the team he's betting on lose pathetically Laughing
