Not only is it longer but because of the time zones it'll never actually clash in terms of being held at the same time. Superbowl is also in Feb and cl final in May.
But yeah two screens is the answer.
Gotta choose one. What would you watch?
That's why it's an interesting question. It was posed to me yesterday by a colleague when they realized I was a bigger United fan than Bucs.You can’t make me!

In the alternate reality where such a clash could ever happen and I absolutely had to pick one I’d probably watch United in the CL but it would be torture.
Same as the Bucs just won one. But I think I would watch the SB if we didn't just win one.
Thank god it will never be an absolute.
I don't have an NFL team (anymore) so Liverpool for me, but I'd record the entire Super Bowl and re-watch it without knowing the result if that was possible. If you asked me Liverpool in a CL final or Lakers in a Finals Game 7, I'd choose the latter though.
If Liverpool are playing a meaningless league or cup game when RedZone is on (which happenes a few times during the season), it's RedZone all the way. There's nothing in sports which compares to RedZone imo, the ultimate high for an NFL fan.
Watching United in the Champions League and then I could watch the Superbowl and skip all the adverts and other assorted time-wasting crap
That's a good answer. I've not watched the commercials or HT in years. I'd also want to hopefully watch it 'All 22.'
I never watched RedZone until I got promoted & started coming into this thread a couple of years ago. Y'all convinced me to give it a go. Now there's a screen dedicated to it every week in my place.
I'm probably choosing Super Bowl. My passion for football is virtually non-existent these days, and I only watch United games now. And even then, it feels somewhat habitual, and I don't go out of my way or put things on hold for United games like I used to. Whereas I genuinely look forward to Sunday nights, particularly since my wife got into it last season. I follow the Packers and she chose the Eagles (though we went to Philly late last year and I've been leaning much more towards the Eagles since going to the Linc), so I'd pick watching either of those two in the SB over a United CL final.
Yeah same. Must be nice to watch it together with your wife, mine simply respects that I'm obsessed with it but that's as far as she goes
Liverpool is a "Liverpool plays at 3pm but if you wanna do something or have a nice activity proposal I can easily skip the game" kind of thing.
Redzone is a "you know I can't do anything after 5pm because I need to get my bets in, frantically check my fantasy line-ups and order the pizza in time before the games start" thing.

My wife was the same, for years she just didn't get it, and I'd just watch it on my own on my laptop. I took her to one of the games in London in 2021, worried sick that if she still hated it then it's a long time to sit there and hate it, but she loved it. Became a fan on the spot and chose the Eagles (100% because of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia). I think she now owns more NFL merch than I do.
The one thing I'm missing from my sports life is a Niners superbowl win.
Football is a much nicer watch though , as much as the time wasting is annoying at least the clock is always running. American football is so stop start and takes ages. The freaking half time show and ad breaks probably run close to 90 minutes.
In summary I can't pick
Ben Johnson has informed interested teams that he'll be staying on as OC for the Lions next season. Big one for the team, let's hope he can further integrate Jameson Williams into the offense and keep Goff playing at a decent level. They should really invest almost all draft capital in their defense imo.
The division will be stronger next year though - O'Connel with a year more experience, the Bears have a ton of draft capital and cap space, and the Packers might be on a revenge tour if Rodgers stays on.

What on Earth...
A couple of productive years in Green Bay and an AFC Championship game with lowly Jacksonville on his CV, so he is bound to get OC interviews.
Perhaps, if you put it that way. Or: a few years working with a HOF QB where the HC was calling the plays, then being carried by a stellar defense to the championship game with a subpar offense... Surely there are better candidates on the market.
There probably aren't given that the few others out there lack actual OC experience (not to mention a year of HC experience). It also helps that he's Paul Hackett's son and despite his terrible year in Denver, seems to have a likable personality and pretty good overall reputation around the league.
Kingsbury would ordinarily be in the mix for a few of these jobs but he's out of commission for a year in Thailand. If you look at the names being thrown around for OC vacancies for the likes of the Pats, Rams, Chargers, there's very little to get excited about. The only other usual suspect in the mix is Bienemy in Tennessee, but that would be a dumb move given that it would be a lateral move to a lesser team.
So hyped for the games this weekend. Literally all of them are intriguing.
Also, the next QB generation has finally arrived and replaced the old guard imo. From Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Ben, ... to all of them right now. Average QB age of the 8 teams left is 25.4 years old, that's crazy. Dak is the only one over 28.

Another interesting stat is the average draft position of the QBs in each conference: AFC is around 5, NFC is around 115. The tables have switched due to Brady not being in the divisional playoffs & Purdy being in them.
That's crazy! Have two #1 picks ever faced each other in a conference final? In their 2nd and 3th year in the league as well, that'd be quite something.
Bills, titans and jags coming to London this year
Chiefs in Germany. I don't like them, but watching Mahomes in the Allianz Arena would be
Mixed feelings actually. Leftwich needed to go, but are we really going to give Bowles that much input in the offensive hiring? Licht is a great GM & will be point on any new offensive hiring, but I just don't trust Bowles in a mass offensive manpower hiring aspect.
Yep, bloodbath occurring in One Buc Place right now.
Early prognostication is that we are looking hard at Todd Monken coming back to OC again. He certainly hasn’t put a wrong foot forward at UGA these past few seasons.
Won’t appear to be as doom & gloom if this happens.

Interesting...
Boyer fired. We had issues on D for much of the season, but 3 of his top 4 corners were injured all year and Howard is in decline. I think he could be successful as DC elsewhere
Id be over the moon if we hire Fangio

So he's going to the Bucs?
From United city and Niners Seahawks to United Arsenal and Niners Cowboys. Grudge match Sunday will be intense.
First NFL game I ever watched. Didn't realize at the time what an all-time classic it was.
How the Packers feck up the onside kick and then let them convert the 2PT attempt after the TD is just ridiculous
If we have even close to as much drama as we had a year ago in the divisional playoffs, this weekend will be enjoyable.

Unsurprisingly, one of my favourite ever games
There are so many absurdities that made that comeback happen, there's the two you mentioned + the fake field goal and the refusal of Mike McCarthy to go for it on the 1 yard line multiple times but my personal favourite will always be that Jermaine Kearse was targeted 5 times during regulation time resulting in 0 catches and 4 picks, before making his first catch to win the game.
If NBC had balls, no way this motherfecker would be on air this weekend…
Sticking with my divisional picks after going 5/6 in super wildcard week (I took the Bucs over the Cowboys).
Super excited for the games this week!
Definitely should be good.
Going with Chiefs, Eagles, Bills and 49ers this weekend. If Cincy didn’t lose 3/5 of their o-line, would have liked their chances against Buffalo. Still think Burrow can pull something special off.
Biggest lock is the Niners. Not sold at all on Dallas.

A bit of the draft before the best weekend in the NFL since I don’t want to dwell on negative things like Dungy, DJ’s first mock is out. He’s on the train (or maybe was the engineer?) of the rumors about the Colt’s FO being in love with Will Levis, which has warning signs of becoming Jets/Zach Wilson 2.0.
Just don’t see it with Bruce Young. Seen him since his high school days at Mater Dei, and he’s a little guy (height and weight) who doesn’t have other attributes to compensate for his lack of size
