Watch Super Bowl XLVI: Giants Vs. Patriots Online With MMA Fans

Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images

With UFC 143 behind us, some MMA fans will be taking a break with friends and family today as they sit back and enjoy the biggest sporting event in America as the New York Giants and New England Patriots square off in Super Bowl XLVI. The game kicks off around 6:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NBC.

This post is a chance for those of you who are sitting around watching the game who want to talk about the happenings with your fellow MMA fans. Think that sack of Tom Brady by Jason Pierre Paul showed some sort of fantastic double leg technique? Want to have the same old conversation about which NFL players would be beasts in the Octagon? Feel like dropping the knowledge that Eli Manning (6'4" 218 lbs) is basically the same size as Jon Jones? This is your place to have the conversation.

And while you're here, make sure you're reading all of our great coverage of last night's big UFC event.

For those of you without the ability to watch on your TV, you can watch the game live, online and free at the NBC Sports website.

Never seen a team counted out by the public so much

When they’re the #1 seed and have a HOF coach and QB. Pats stroll.

I feel like the Pats are a better team, but match ups make.. Games?

#1 seed in the AFC hasn't meant a whole lot this year

Patriots have had the easiest schedule by far. They won 1 game against teams that finished above .500, and that was 2 weeks ago against Baltimore, and it took a shanked chip shot field goal.

Really?

If they don’t ever win another super bowl, I’d be surprised to see them both in the hall.

If they retired tomorrow

Clawfin probably wouldn’t. Eli might. Eli is already the best QB in franchise history from one of the near original teams. When both of their careers are over, they’ll be in Canton.

As long as he keeps playing well.

For those weirdo's without the ability to watch NBC

it’s streaming, live, free and LEGAL on NBC’s sports website. Their SNF games are actually nice to watch, since you can choose camera angles and such that you can’t from TV

You can choose from 5 different camera angles, including a small picture-in-picture thing. If your computer is hooked to your flat panel or you have a big monitor, the stream looks pretty clean.

And the Vikings...ah...sweet..

“The 1998 Minnesota Vikings cruised through the regular season to a 15-1 record.

They looked like a lock to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, but they lost in the NFC Championship game to the Atlanta Falcons. Gary Anderson, who had not missed a field goal all season, missed on a field goal that would have won the game."

At least they didn’t wait for the Super Bowl to gag on that one.
