One of the ITV channels was showing the Patriots game, but every few
minutes they'd break away to a studio in London where a Brit would ask
a Yank very basic questions about the rules. I've no idea who either
of them were. In one segment, the Yank explained the concept of
punting the ball, but the Brit kept saying bunt, and it was clearly
irritating the American. Given when I was watching it in Central Asia,
it had to be airing in the overnight/early morning hours in the UK. I
had to wonder why they'd bother with informational wraparound
segments; one would think if you were up at that hour and watching the
game, you'd already understand the basic rules, or -- unlike the
British co-host -- at least know how to correctly pronounce the rules.
