Is There a Game Today?

[cowboyfan4life_mark]

Thursday night I heard the Super Bowl wasn't a sellout. Want to know a easy way to change that? Put the team with stars on the helmets in that game.

I also heard scalpers were selling some tix as below face value. Want to know a easy way to change that? Put the team with stars on the helmets in that game.

I also heard NBC was having a hard time selling all the commercial time. Want to know a easy way to change that? Put the team with stars on the helmets in that game.

Earlier in the week, I heard that this SB was a sellout at something like 3mil for thirty seconds.

NBC sells out Super Bowl ads for record $206M
Jan 31, 5:41 pm EST

Buzz up!68 votes PrintTAMPA, Fla. (AP)—NBC said on the eve of Sunday’s Super Bowl that it has sold the last two of the 69 advertising spots for the game, pushing total ad revenue for the event to a record $206 million.

The network said its total of $261 million in ad revenue for all of Super Bowl day also is a record, calling it an especially impressive feat in the middle of the economy’s steep downturn.

The Super Bowl is the premier advertising event with an U.S. audience of 100 million viewers, many of whom watch closely during game breaks for the debut of entertaining, big-budget commercials. The ads have sold for between $2.4 million and $3 million per 30-second slot this year.

“These advertising milestones show the power of the NFL brand and the strength of the Super Bowl as a TV property in this economic climate,” said Jeff Zucker, president and CEO of NBC Universal, a unit of General Electric Co. “The Super Bowl has become one of our country’s biggest holidays, a uniquely American day, and advertisers recognized the value in being a part of it.”

Thirty-two advertisers in all will showcase their products during Super Bowl coverage.

NBC said the ads featured during the game also will be available for viewing almost immediately after they air at Web sites including NBC.com, Hulu.com and Superbowl.com.

[Jon88]

[Jon88]

We should ask Jerry who is playing today?

He's too busy researching "problem players" he can get this offseason.

 

[Signals]

Hey Hos, did your Cardinal landscaper friend manage to get airplane tickets and hotel accommodations to be able to come to Tampa for the game?

 

[THUMPER]

He's too busy researching "problem players" he can get this offseason.

I laughed at that one... dang.

 

[Bleu Star]

I believe the name has been changed to the Irrelevant Bowl...

This may pull the worst ratings ever for a season ending game.

 

[Vintage]

I hope the ratings are through the roof.

 

[Bleu Star]

I hope the ratings are through the roof.

As much as I hope the Cards give it their all and provide an old fashioned *** whoopin to the Steelers, I just see the Steelers getting up early and the nation's vast television sets collectively tuning to another channel. I hope I am dead wrong because I don't care to see the Steelers get #6 before us...

I dont know about you guys but I am kind of thinking The Cards are going to win.

In 04, Haley and carthon were two of the main gameplanners along with payton and we had the steelers beat. Haley and carthon plus whisenhunt know how to attack that defense and I think they will put alot of pressure on them.

Now that is what my heart tells me.

My head tells me the cardinals score first, have a 7-3 into the second quarter and then the steelers overwhelm them and warner folds, into the third qtr it is like 17-7 steelers and then they trade scores and pittsburgh wins 24-14.

So I am not sure which to believe my head or my heart. Thank god I dont gamble.

I'm far more interested in the Capitals vs Senators game in 15 minutes than I am the super bowl, but I'll still watch it for the commercials.

 

[Vintage]

I got the Steelers in a blowout.

Hopefully, I am dead wrong.




The weak or the strong, who got it goin on
You're dead wrong

I think the Cardinals win too. Yeah the Steelers have a great defense, but on the other side, their offense isn't great. I think the Cards defense can hold the Steelers to a low score and also force Big Ben into a few turnovers. The Cards offense will score enough to pull out the upset. Book it.
