BBC and Superbowl. [View all]

Anyone notice BBC24 bigging up the Superbowl yesterday, telling us what a global phenomenon it is? I can't help but think it's because they're showing gridiron on BBC2. This was part of the deal.

And yes 111.5 million people watched it last year. In context 650 million watched the Manchester Derby. Gridiron has a long way to go.
