Graham and Rocca to battle for Super Bowl spot

From early on when I started to cover Ben Graham in the US, I have commented that it is undoubtedly a two way street. I would argue that more Americans have learnt about Australian rules (from what it actually is, to chasing footy on Youtube etc.) from Graham and Rocca's prescence in the NFL - than Australians have learnt about NFL. I dont know how you would actually measure that, but it's the feeling I get from the time I have spent researching on NFL chat boards. In any case it is a significant sporting story in Australia with lots of angles and possibilities to how it will affect people (for example does it give more credibility to Aussie Rules for kids in non traditional regions in NSW and Qld?). Without a doubt there will be more Australians watch the Super Bowl this year. But we also hope that even more Americans learn a little more about our game (which incidentally is one of USFooty's objectives).
