vike daddy Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 (edited) Overtime in the Super Bowl was exciting for football fans, and profitable for CBS. With the game lasting almost a full extra quarter because of overtime, CBS aired 10 more commercials that advertisers paid an estimated $60 million for, according to Anthony Crupi of Sportico.com. Between regulation time and overtime, CBS brought in nearly $700 million in commercial sales for Super Bowl LVIII. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/super-bowl-overtime-earned-cbs-an-estimated-60-million-from-more-commercials what does a network have to pay the NFL to televise the SB? as in, what did CBS net on the deal?

It's truly amazing how much the NFL doesn't have to pay for much of anything...everybody pays them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anymore I don't have an issue with people sending their thoughts and prayers. I know the phrase gets shredded purely for political reasons (I won't get into that here) but anymore that's all that some can afford to offer. ...and I'll leave it at that.

vike daddy Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Travis Kelce is helping the surviving victims of the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade. The NFL star’s rep confirmed today that Kelce’s Eighty-Seven Running organization gave two $50,000 donations to a GoFundMe raising money to provide financial support to the Reyes family. Kelce founded Eighty-Seven & Running in 2015 to help “underserved youth strive to become productive citizens by mentoring and motivating them to explore and develop their abilities while learning critical life skills,” the website notes. The Reyes family shared an update on their daughters, who are 8 and 10 years old, in a press release obtained by NBC News on Feb. 16. The family said that the two girls sustained leg injuries and will be in casts for several months after undergoing surgery to treat their gunshot wounds. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/travis-kelce-donates-100000-2-kids-shot-chiefs-super-bowl-parade-rcna139329 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are the knuckle-draggers you are referring to? I know a lot of people don't like Kelce, but I was under the impression that Swift was widely popular (though I can't say that I am a fan). Am I, in your opinion, a knuckle-dragger? It strikes me as distasteful to generalize and disparage large groups of people. Just because someone doesn't like a particular person, or in some other way is different than you, you shouldn't conclude they are less than yourself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it depends why you’re making a point to dislike someone you’ve never met. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to dislike people you've never met. I've met very few politicians in my life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
