Super Bowl Sunday in BA

Pizza, Empanadas, Chimichuri hot sauce, beer and football...what is the only thing wrong with this picture? The fact that they are doing play-by-play in Spanish for the Super Bowl.
It was quite interesting, after Landon had pointed out, that the Spanish translations have different meanings when converted.
For example, a fair catch, is called a free catch in Spanish.
I was also a little disappointed in the lack of enthusiasm of the announcers. I have watched plenty of ¨football¨games in Central and South America, and the announcers at those matches had unbelievable passion.
I must say, I am happy that the underdogs pulled off the championship, however, American Football should be broadcast with American announcers.
