NFL Playoffs and Superbowl

Is anyone going to be watching the playoffs? I just bought a package from the NFL network to watch the playoffs online, but I don't know if the Superbowl will be available.
Do any channels in India show the Superbowl?

No American football fans? Even after we've voted Obama as President??

Well the playoffs were not on any stations I could find but I don't know about the big games itself

From a google search I saw that last years game was on Ten Sports

When I checked their website they have schedule up to the end of the month which is about 4 hours to early for the game.

Obama doesn't exonerate you, it just gets you back to zero.
We have the inauguration on live tomorrow night.
Finally, you can see the hope in american eyes, and not the belligerent fear of the last few years.
It's good to see.

I am a Giants fan but totally forgot about the game until the next day, in 2008, as I just arrived in Bombay and was busy (drunk) with friends.

Go Cardinals (because I don't think they've ever won a superbowl).

Game starts at 4.30am Delhi time, so you would be doing well to find any place open at that hour I'd imagine.

Should be on ESPN-Star which you get as part of the Star TV network. http://www.espnstar.com

BA almost certainly will not have live TV! Especially on flights to India!

I thought it was going to be on ESPN-Star too.

However it isn't on the schedule for Monday AM.

It doesn't look like it is on Ten either.

Oh bugger, I've even booked Monday off work so I can stay up late, have a beer or 2 as the Cards lose (and my home is back in Mesa, AZ !)

If anyone knows of *anywhere* carrying the game in Delhi, please let me know.

Colin

watched it last year

Yes this year it looks all to dicy to me.. Last year they had put up schedule on ten sports about 10 days before the big game. but this time no news, i have even written to Ten sports few times, urging them to show the previous games as well.

U know they started showing the few games during first couple of weeks, I was so excited thinking ok this time i will be able to watch complete season in india. but hell no. they stoped after first couple of weeks !!

I urge all of you to write to ten sports. Its not going to be on ESPN because espn does not have rights to show these games anymore.
Also pl keep this post alive and if anyone comes to know about which channel they will show the game then pl inform others
