Thanks

Erik.... you ARE new, aren't you? LOL I would love to tease you and with a straight face tell you it will be on Channel 2, but I can't.

Your ONLY chance of seeing the Super Bowl is to make buddies with someone that has Maadi House membership, or an AFN decoder box for their TV.

Remember, it will start at like 1 a.m. and NOT have any commercials... Which in my opinion is the best part of Superbowl any more.

The worst part is I am in advertising so I am having my family record the commercails and send them to me on DVD...Do you think any of the Hotels will have it in their rooms? I'm even willing to get a hotel room for the night...I havn't missed the Superbowl in 20 years.

Sorry Erik, give it up. We've all been looking for it for years too, but the cold hard truth is you ain't in Kansas anymore. Even the Marriott (the most American hotel in Cairo) doesn't have it, and NO ONE else cares about American football in the rest of the world, basically.

Like I said before, go make friends with Military guys and maybe you'll get lucky. Hang out around the American Embassy at quiting time and maybe you can pick up a sailor that will be happy to share Super Bowl with you. LOL

Good luck!

P.S. You wouldn't be 2bigdogs mate would you? I'm just putting 2 and 2 together here and wondering if I'm right.

Is this broadcase in German or English then? Not that it would matter much to a football fan that understands what is going on.
And Erik, did you get commercials?
