The games started lasting more than 4 hours.
The public didn’t want the blue pill because they got red pulled instead.
Alternate headline : Viagra Stiffs NFL
Boy, talk about downplaying the truth...the ratings dip was all about Colin Kepernick's disrespect of the flag. The other stuff was the "maybe, a touch", not that.
I’ll bet they can play a full game in fifteen minutes without all those replays, and commercials and time outs.
Do you mean it’s Madonna’s fault for lying about what she’d do for HRC voters?
Stiff competition from Cialis, no doubt.

I think the backstory is that Viagra (sildenafil citrate0 has gone off patent protection this year.
You can know buy the stuff generic for a fraction of what Viagra cost.
Viagra certainly can’t afford NFL advertising rates. Pfizer will probably kill the brand or sell it off soon. They’ve already made their money on it.
