Theres some pub in Sydney, Australia that screens the Superbowl & makes a big thing of it, & during the australian telecast they cross to it. Im trying to find out the name of it & where it is so i can go watch on Monday. Does any1 know?
Man I have no clue what you're talking about. Maybe someone else will, but I'm just lost completely after reading that post. Dont all bars make a big deal out of the Super Bowl?
Most american bars make a big deal out of it, but I doubt a lot of AUSTRALIAN bars do....I dont know what bar your refering too and Ive never been to Sydney, but I hope you find it....
Football is huge in Australia....they love it....you wouldnt recognize it if you saw if because the rules are completly different, but they love their football.....good ole aussie rules football....picture a man in a white cowboy hat and suit giving the TD signal....
In the early days of ESPN Aussie Rules Football was a staple of their broadcasting lineup....that and indoor soccer....Aussie Rules Football is a mix between american football and rugby and soccer....as best i can remember, the players would dribble the ball like a basketball for some reason(i think they cant get hit when they are dribbling)....then they would kick it while on the run through the uprights for a goal....thats when the refs, dressed in suits and hats hold their hands up like its a good FG, then they drop their hands out in front of them and make a pistol out of their hands....its hard to describe and Im not doing too well at it....
Well from what you just explained it is very different from football as we all know it. Thats interesting.

Actually, I've been to Sydney...1999 I think it was....just before the Olympics there. While there are some big "bars" that could possibly have a big Superbowl party, there are more small "pubs" as the norm. Each has a personality of its own and you can kind of hop from pub to pub. Kind of cool.
I remember Aussie rules football. I never really saw too many highlights on ESPN, but on sports blooper reals I've seen some pretty amazing things. Those guys were tough.
