With one year of high school german, I actually understood some of that from the bits I stopped to check out. The 49ers have a german player so they had a rooting interest on behalf of their market, but it seemed pretty well balanced with their excitement shared nicely for all great plays and some good information for casual watchers as to why some of the rules went the way they did. And some early explanation of some of the ceremony stuff before kickoff. A whole lot of the crowd shots were of the same area/group and were the german players family. I liked it. If I understood just a little bit more, I'd watch the whole thing.
