XL = Xtra Late
Presently, I am watching Superbowl XL - live. Dan and I decided to continue our jet lag non-recovery and stay up for the silly game (ok, ok, I admit it - we were thrilled to see it was going to be broadcast). However, it's just not the same at 2:30 a.m. on Dutch TV:
-"Het is goede!" (pronounced 'het iz hoot') for every pass, touchdown, field goal, and extra point doesn't have the same ring to it.
-Nor does "Dit is een uitstekend runningback!"
-Berlinerbollen shouldn't qualify as Superbowl party food.
-No American Superbowl commercials, but rather just one repetitive "Amsterdam Admirals World Bowl kampions" ad
-Mick Jagger baring his midriff at this time of night

Wow. That sounds like an experience. Was the game any different for being in Dutch? Do they try to explain it as being like soccer or rugby or whatnot?
