Follow Super Bowl XLIII on Twitter

Frank Praverman

It's one of the greatest sporting spectacles on earth, with millions around the globe watching it. But if you can't get near a television, or the pictures don't do the atmosphere justice, then follow the Super Bowl between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers with us on Twitter.

All you have to do is click here and you will get up-to-the-second thoughts from Nick Szczepanik, our reporter at the Raymond James stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Nick will be posting from 2300GMT on Sunday (that's 11pm in old money) with his thoughts and photos of everything from the size of the burgers to the pre-game entertainment before he gives his irreverant views on the main spectacle.

Don't be a twit, join Nick and feel like you're at Super Bowl XLIII.

Top sporting quitters

Novak Djokovic

The defending Australian Open champion (right) pulled out of his quarter-final match against Andy Roddick suffering from heat exhaustion. The world No 3 was trailing by two sets to one to the American and down by a game in the fourth set when he told the umpire he could no longer continue. Djokovic was clearly struggling in temperatures reaching 36C, something that he handled quite easily last year.

Roberto Duran

The Panamanian hardman had his reputation severly dented after indicating to referee Octavio Meyran that he wasn't going to continue against Sugar Ray Leonard in their world welterweight championship rematch at the Louisiana Superdome in 1980. Legend has it that Duran called out "No Mas" (No more) to the offical, although the fighter and his camp insisted he was suffering from stomach pains. The fact that he was getting his ears boxed off by Leonard, who executed a meticulous gameplan beautifully after coming off second best in their Montreal slugfest five months previously, may have had something to do with it.

Sandy Lyle

The Scot stalked off the Royal Birkdale course during the first round of last year's Open Championship as appalling weather conditions and poor form left him 11 over par on the 10th green. The 1985 winner stunned spectators as he handed his putter to his caddie and headed back to the clubhouse through the rain.

Kevin Keegan

According to David Davies, the former FA chief executive, Keegan made his decision to quit as England manager in the dressing-room toilets after watching his team lose their first 2002 World Cup Cup qualifier to Germany. Claiming that he didn't feel up to the task of leading the national team, Keegan wanted to speak to the press but was convinced by Davies to stay in the toilets with the door locked until he could inform the FA's international committee of the manager's decision.

Barack Obama smugshots

Frank Praverman

He loves a morning workout at the gym, he swings a mean golf club and he's been known to throw a few hoops. Despite his penchant for a crafty fag, Barack Obama is obviously the sporty type.

As with any celebrity, the President-elect is more than happy to pose for the cameras and this is where you come in ... we want your pictures of when you met Obama.

We're not talking about getting a snap of the top of his head from 300 yards away while he was pounding the campaign trail. No, this is the place to display your arm-round-the-shoulder, cheestastic grin when you bumped into the great man as he was buying his sneakers at the local Walmart.

There must be a few of them around: perhaps you were captured with him on the basketball court while he was a kid in Honolulu? Or maybe he shook your hand for picking up his sand wedge when he left it in a bunker?

If you still haven't got the gist of what we're after, take a look at these football smugshots and this gallery of the sporting world's great and the good.

And if you haven't met him on the football field, don't worry: send in the pic of you and Obama at the bus station and we'll publish that too.
