The BBC will have live coverage of this “American Football” spectacular on BBC Two and the BBC Red Button beginning at 22:50 GMT, so that’s your easiest path if it’s available to you. If you don’t have cable, an antenna should do the trick just fine. You might also be able to load up the live CBS stream directly from the CBS website in Safari or Chrome, for that matter. But despite spending 17 seasons as a pro, he never played, or attended, a Super Bowl – until now. The first Super Bowl was covered with just 11 cameras.
