WOW thanks for this info! Going home with some good news today.
Saw the Busch ad. They never mentioned that back then Busch was a legal immigrant. As were my grandparents. No wet backs in my family.
just my speculation but if the ratings for the Super Bowl suck they may owe even more money...if they say “rather than the $3mill refund we’ll give you three super bowl ads for free” they don’t have to worry about it two weeks from now...
Like some of my freeper friends, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl last year, I won’t watch the Super Bowl this year, and I haven’t watched anything NFL for many months. This will probably continue for the rest of my life.
There is only one reason that Superbowl ads will tout philanthropy — because it works to sell their products. The companies paying for the ads think that consumers will have good feelings about the companies due to the philanthropy ads, which will translate into sales. There is no higher purpose or meaning to them. They are crass and cynical.
I was doing work during the Super Bowl last year. Consulting work for a friend who hired me to help. I did check the score on my phone once in a while. Does that count?
I’m sure your buddy knows about how the ad rates are pegged to getting a certain rating on the programming, reaching a certain number of audience.
So rebates and givebacks could happen.
I’ve heard that the NFL makes more from TV than from ticket sales nowadays.
Well, clearly bad ratings translates into bad financial news for the NFL.
Good point which gets lost in the debate. Yes we are a nation of immigrants, but the vast majority of our ancestors came here legally. The liberals constantly conflate legal immigration with illegal aliens.

much more from TV than ticket sales...i started a thread yesterday- i have season tickets to an NFL team in the northeast and got my renewal package yesterday (2 months earlier than usual) and they dropped ticket prices 30%...
YES!
Yep.
Like your tagline. As a Catholic, I have no use for the Communist Pope!
Message to companies: I won’t be watching. The situation was made even worse by the NFL rejecting the Stand Up ad. I couldnt care less about the Super Bowl.
In previous years, I watched the game mostly for the ads. Looks like I won’t be missing much in that department when I give the game a pass this weekend.
I figure I should be able to get a tee-time Sunday afternoon, no problem...
You could play gold, or you could participate in a sport?
Nah. The prez of Home Depot told the Dems they have NO BRAINS. It’s on FR multiple times in 24 hours. That’s why I go to HD lol
“It was 84 lumber.”
That’s it. The ad made my blood boil.
I think that’s a funny question! In my book, that definitely doesn’t count as watching. My wife’s family would watch the Super Bowl even if some players raped their mother the night before.
Instaclassic.
