Super Bowl 2012: A New Coverage for Football Fans


Super Bowl XLVI is a clash of the same two teams from four years ago, but it is an entirely different ball game. Not just on the field either, but in its coverage.

NBC will broadcast the game live, but it is also offering a free live stream on the web at NBC Sports.  And yes, the Super Bowl 2012 live stream will now be available for the first time in NBC Sports.

Not only can Super Bowl parties include massive flat screen TVs, possibly multiple TVs, but they can now include computers and handheld devices.

There are mobile applications that will let you watch the game or follow it live by a variety of means—ABC News breaks down the top five apps for Sunday—and it doesn't end there.

According to the Sacramento Bee, the almighty Facebook is in on the act as well:

Everybody now knows that NBC and the NFL are streaming this Sunday's Super Bowl LIVE over the Internet, but now one very special Facebook app, built by FreeCast.com, will provide Facebook users with the ability to watch it right from their profile pages while socializing and commenting about the big game with their many friends simultaneously.

The Super Bowl has never been so interactive and this is only the beginning too.

Things will continue to progress year after year, and soon enough we'll be watching and interacting like never before. What that progress is or looks like, only time will tell, but this is the start.

Super Bowl XLVI live streaming may have familiar faces on the field, but you can see them in a whole new light. (article from Bleacher Report)
