Haha, loving the comments my friends out there. I really do think the commercial thing and all the hangers on talking up the game is the real spoiler. For us here, we're not used to being swamped every few minutes with commercials n crap it totally distracts from the sport.I enjoy the 'game' but its lost in all the crap around it and i suppose the irrelevance to us of the commercials. We see it more because fortunately, our favourite sports here whether it be soccer as you call it 'football to us' or the real man's game 'rugby' is aired on our screens where the game is fundamental and you may get 5-10 mins at half time of commercials and pundits. Surely, anyone watching their sport can see my argument there? Your sports have been taken over! For the record though, we will be up in the early hours here to watch the super bowl as much as i get annoyed with the crap we do love the 'game'.

For many decades now in the UK we've really tried to get into american football. TV has played its part trying to stimulate interest. Myself and friends have read up, watched games and endless American sports programmes yet all of us have come to the conclusion its pretty boring. There seems more emphasis on commentators and 'has been's' talking the game up and dissecting it afterwards than actually time spent playing the game! Its all about razz-a-mataz than the actual sport? Here in the UK football and rugby are dominant, a continuous 90 minute-ish sporting attraction split in two halves without any interference or commercials. Do you think its a cultural thing?
