This is a direct steal from the classic episode of WHTTLL "No Hiding Place" where Terry and Bob have to avoid seeing the results of a football (soccer) match. Made in 1973, in the UK, so I guess they thought they could get away with it...

Whole episode was great and very well directed. This is one of the classic HIMYM type an episode. Individual plts of the all the characters were good (especially the Ted where he invents a new device so to avoid results of superbowl). This is one of the great episode of himym but it is very less talked.

I like the bit where he fell down the stairs but didn't spill the dipping sauce

A second sub standard episode in a row for "How I Met Your Mother" in its second season. Though I did like a continuation of Barney's gambling problem.

Plot In A Paragraph: Ted misses a flight to an important job interview and he sets about looking who to blame. First on his list of culprits is Barney, but then he realises if it was not for Marshall, Barney would not have been to blame, and before you know it he has worked his way through the entire group and to the real culprit.

A generous 6/10 because the Barney storyline is funny as Neil Patrick Harris is always great fun to watch and is always reliable, but some of the other parts just fell a bit flat.

What it does give away is that Ted may not marry Robin, as it ends with Ted and what looks like a blonde bride at the alter, with the voice over "My destiny was to stay in New York, otherwise I never would have met your mother"
