Welcome to the Listening Time Podcast.

Hey everybody, this is Connor and you're listening to episode 141 of the Listening Time Podcast.

I hope everyone is doing excellent and I hope that you're ready to practice your English listening with another episode.

Today I'm going to talk about a really relevant topic, which is the Super Bowl.

I'm sure most of you have heard of this before.

This is the biggest sporting event in the U.S.

This is the final game of the NFL, the National Football League.

So this event, I think,

will take place maybe two days or so before this episode is released.

And so this will be a topic that a lot of people are talking about.

So someone requested this topic

and I thought it would be a good idea to talk a little bit about this

because this is an element of American culture.

And I'm sure it will be educational for you to learn about the Super Bowl, even if you're not a big sports fan.

So this should be an interesting episode.

Alright, let's get started. Are your ears ready?

You know what time it is.

It's listening time.

Okay, let's talk about the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl this year, in 2024, will take place on February 11th.

And I think this episode will be released on the 13th, if I'm not mistaken.

So the Super Bowl probably just happened if you're listening to this episode the week that it comes out.

So people might be talking about it.

You might have heard about it in the news or on social media.

And the first thing that is important to know about the Super Bowl is

that it's the biggest national sporting event in the U.S. by far, I think.

When we say by far, we're saying by a wide margin.

It means that this is in first place and the second place one is far behind.

So the Super Bowl is by far the biggest national sporting event in the U.S.

And football, American football, of course, is the most popular sport in the U.S.

This is the sport that many people watch,

more people watch this sport than any other sport.

So it's become maybe the new national sport if we have one.

I don't think we have one in the U.S., but if there were a national sport, it would probably be football nowadays,

whereas a hundred years ago, it would have been baseball.

So I think I'm not a big sports history buff, so I can't tell you for sure,

but I would say so.

By the way, we can use the word buff To talk about someone who is a fanatic of a certain topic,

a certain, let's say, field or discipline or something that they know a lot about.

Oftentimes, we use this with history.

If someone is a history buff, that means they know a lot about history,

they consume a lot of educational material about history, they get excited about the topic.

That's a history buff.

So I'm not a sports history buff, so some of my opinions might not be 100% accurate,

but I think that baseball was the national sport in the past, and now it seems like it's football.

So this sporting event, the Super Bowl, is so popular that many,

many non-football fans also watch it.

Even people that don't follow football at all,

people that haven't watched a single game all season, they might still watch the Super Bowl.

So you can imagine how popular this event is.

And another thing to remember is that most Americans only watch national sports.

This means that they only watch sports that are played in leagues that are with only American teams,

or sometimes one Canadian team.

Toronto sometimes has a team that is part of our national league for different sports

but for the most part just American teams and so if you think about our major sports

like football and basketball and baseball,

the games that people watch in the U.S are games that are played between two American teams, right?

The New York Yankees versus the Boston Red Sox,

or the New England Patriots versus the Kansas City Chiefs, right?

They're two American teams, not teams from different countries.

And this is different from the rest of the world in most cases because in most countries around the world,

soccer is the biggest sport.

And one of the most exciting things about soccer throughout the year is that there are international competitions played, right?

Like the World Cup, for example, and many other international competitions.

So Americans don't usually watch these and our sports don't usually involve international teams,

except for Toronto sometimes.

Besides that, it's just an American league with American teams with Americans watching.

Obviously, people from other countries sometimes watch our sports as well,

but in terms of what Americans watch, Americans watch American sports for the most part.

If you watch international sports as an American, you're in the minority.

So you can imagine that this sporting event, which is for an American sport,

the most popular one that even non-football fans are interested in watching in terms of this final game,

the Super Bowl.

You can imagine how many people watch this event.

It's very, very popular in the U.S.

and you might ask what is the Super Bowl really what

is this well as I mentioned it's the final game of the NFL

and how it works is that there are 32 different NFL teams if I'm not mistaken

I'm just going off of my prior knowledge.

I didn't look this up so hopefully I'm not mistaken here.

But from what I remember back in the days when I used to watch football,

there are 32 teams in total and these teams are divided into two conferences, we call them.

The AFC, the American Football Conference, and the NFC, the National Football Conference.

And each of these conferences has four divisions based on the geography of the U.S.

So the North, the South, the East, and the West.

So you have an AFC West division and an NFC West division and an AFC North division and an NFC North division,

etc. And so all of these different teams in these different divisions in these two conferences,

they play against each other throughout the regular season.

100

And then we have the playoffs after the regular season.

101

The playoffs refer to the phase after the regular season that only certain teams qualify for,

102

only the top teams.

103

And then during the playoffs,

104

there are different rounds in which teams are eliminated until finally there are only two teams remaining,

105

one team from the AFC and one team from the NFC.

106

And these two teams play against each other in the Super Bowl.

107

So that's how the teams are determined who will play in the Super Bowl.

108

And then whoever wins the Super Bowl is the champion of the whole NFL, right?

109

They are the winners for that season.

110

So this is the case in most sports, I think at the end of every season,

111

there's one team that is considered the champion.

112

And that's the case for the Super Bowl.

113

Whoever wins is the champion for that year.

114

And there are some important differences to consider when talking about American sports

115

like football and soccer in other countries that will also help you understand the excitement of the Super Bowl.

116

So one really big difference that you can see in American sports when you compare them to soccer in most countries.

117

This is not always the case, but I think most of the time it is, that is that in American sports,

118

there's usually a different team at the top, a different champion every year.

119

It doesn't always happen like that, of course, but most years,

120

the champion is a different champion from the previous year's champion.

121

Why is that?

122

In American sports, of course, we have the money factor,

123

different owners of different teams have different amounts of money to spend,

124

and of course that's a factor,

125

but it's not as big of a factor as it is in soccer in other countries.

126

As you might know, in most countries there are certain soccer clubs

127

that have tons of money and then other clubs have very little money

128

and the clubs with a lot of money always win.

129

They're always the champions.

130

There aren't really a lot of other teams with little money that compete for the championship every year.

131

Usually it's just one of the rich clubs that wins.

132

Again, that's not always the case, but that's the case most of the time.

133

In the U.S., it doesn't quite work like this in most of our sports.

134

There's always what we call a draft.

135

So, for example, the NFL draft is this event in which the different teams,

136

they draft or they choose different college football players.

137

So the big college football stars eventually go to the NFL and the way that they do that is through this draft.

138

And so the different teams in the NFL,

139

they are ranked according to how well or how poorly they did the previous year.

140

So for example, let's say that one team was the worst team in 2023.

141

They were in last place.

142

They had the the lowest amount of wins.

143

Well, that team is going to get the first pick in the NFL draft the next season.

144

So they were the worst team that year,

145

but then next year they get to choose their first college football player before any other team.

146

So basically, they get the best guy, the best college football player.

147

So what happens is that these bad teams,

148

they suddenly get a really good college star that's going to make their team better.

149

This process and other factors as well help to balance out the different teams

150

so that it's not always the same teams that are good and the same teams that are bad.

151

are always cycles where a team is good for a season

152

or a couple seasons and then they're bad and then they're good again and then they're bad.

153

And that happens a lot more in football than it does in soccer in other countries.

154

So because of all of that, the Super Bowl is often

155

extra exciting in this context because many times it involves a team that was bad during the previous years.

156

So maybe there was a team that didn't even make the playoffs one year,

157

but then the next year they are in the Super Bowl.

158

And so it's really exciting for that city's fans

159

because they went from being bad to suddenly they're competing for the ultimate prize.

160

And so you can imagine the excitement for many cities when their team makes it to the Super Bowl,

161

even though they've never won it before or they were really bad the last few years.

162

So it makes it more exciting.

163

And knowing all that, you also know that if a team does win multiple Super Bowls year after year,

164

you know that that team is really special because that doesn't normally happen.

165

So you might know about the New England Patriots back when Tom Brady was on the team

166

and how they won Super Bowl after Super Bowl after Super Bowl, many different Super Bowls.

167

And we would call that a dynasty.

168

In American sports, when one team wins multiple championships in a short period of time,

169

we say that that team has a dynasty.

170

And dynasties are very special in the U.S because they don't happen often.

171

It's not like in different soccer leagues around the world where the same team can win four

172

or five times in a row and it's just normal.

173

It's expected.

174

Not in the U.S.

175

That's very rare and so it's special when that happens.

176

So about the Super Bowl itself, you might already know this.

177

It's very flashy.

178

That just means that there's an excess of spectacular elements, right?

179

There are a lot of amazing things.

180

It's a whole show.

181

It starts with the national anthem where someone sings our national song, right?

182

The Star Spangled Banner.

183

And usually it's some celebrity or a famous singer or someone, I don't know but it's very dramatic usually.

184

And by the way, this national anthem is sung at all of our sporting events,

185

our national ones, even local sporting events.

186

It's not just during international games against other countries.

187

No, even at a local high school basketball game, they'll probably sing the national anthem before the game.

188

This is an important element of the sporting event.

189

And then, of course, there's the big halftime show during the Super Bowl.

190

In the middle of the game, after the second quarter, the teams take a break,

191

and there's this halftime show.

192

It's basically a concert.

193

There's some famous musician or someone that puts on this amazing show for all of these fans,

194

and it's very flashy.

195

It's very spectacular, and the commercials are also important during the Super Bowl.

196

This is when you'll see the funniest and most creative commercials,

197

advertisements for different companies.

198

And this makes it more fun for non-football fans who are watching the Super Bowl.

199

Some people get excited for the commercials more than the football game.

200

And people will often talk about these commercials afterwards.

201

Hey, did you see the commercial for blah, blah, blah company?

202

Because the commercials are very different during the Super Bowl.

203

The companies that advertise during the Super Bowl purposely put their best effort

204

and spend the most amount of money on these particular commercials and people like them.

205

So that makes it fun for some people.

206

And people have Super Bowl parties.

207

This is really common.

208

People invite their friends and their family members over.

209

They watch the game.

210

Sometimes I say this because many people go to Super Bowl parties and they don't actually watch the game.

211

They just talk and socialize and eat, especially chips and guac.

212

Guac is a way to say guacamole here.

213

So people might just treat it as a social event.

214

They might not even care about who wins,

215

they just go for the socializing and the food and maybe the commercials.

216

So as you can see, this is very different from,

217

let's say, an important soccer match because pretty much everyone who goes to watch an important soccer match is watching the match.

218

They're not there to socialize, right?

219

But with the Super Bowl, it's a social event.

220

The sport is sometimes important, sometimes not so important.

221

Usually it's a mix.

222

Usually some people are really into the game or

223

when they go to these parties and some people aren't and they're the ones standing and talking in the kitchen or whatever.

224

So you have a mixture there.

225

So Super Bowl parties are very common and a lot of people look forward to them.

226

All right, I think that's pretty much all I wanted to say about the Super Bowl.

227

Hopefully you learned a little bit about this tradition here in the US and maybe some of you watched the Super Bowl.

228

I don't know.

229

I'm not gonna watch it because I'm not interested in football,

230

but a lot of other Americans are interested in this.

231
