Meanwhile, from December...

Make-Goods Eat Into November NFL Ad Sales Revenue, but Pricing Continues to Soar

The makegoods info is the important bit.

Hamilton cast singing the national anthem. The gutless wonders producing the Superbowl are trying to have it both ways. Good luck with that.

It’s possible highly likely the Hamilton cast will trash Trump at the Super Bowl. Can’t believe they have been given this opportunity...

I'm hardly surprised. The NFL hates America.

Will they then lecture the football fans on what an inclusive nation this is?

So I'd encourage folks whose addiction compels them to watch the SB to at least tune in for the actual game only and send a hearty FU to the sponsors underwriting the traditional leftard bile.

I think most of us have DVR. If you MUST watch the game, just DVR it. Start watching after it's already an hour in. You can thus skip the uninteresting/objectionable parts, and be caught up by the end of the game.

Just occurred to me: I can’t remember the last time I saw someone, fan, wearing an NFL football jersey out and about. Used to see them all the time. At the store, gas pump, on the street, in the yard, at the mall. Can’t recall the last time I saw a fan actually wearing a jersey...

The only good thing I can say about Hamilton is that after the VP Pence stunt, I sold my tickets and made a $5,100 profit. Glad I could take some liberal loser to the cleaners.

we should DEMAND THEY CANCEL THEM just like the asses forced all the inauguration singers to cancel! Hitting them in the pocketbook doesn’t work anymore because they have an agenda, anyways if boycotting threats work you would see them canceling Lady Gaga and these buttholes. The football commissioner is making a statement using them because of Brady and the patriots coach supporting of Trump...the commissioner needs to be threaten! Nice words don’t work anymore with these anti-patriotism anti-America anti-trump pukes!! Get ready for an onslaught of nothing but stabs at Trump in this Super Bowl! It’ll be something we have never witnessed in the past Super Bowl’s ever!! I guarantee you somewhere there will be commercials slamming our president too! Mark it!!!

Do you remember, back in the Good Old Days, when football was an American sport?

IMHO, it is time American men grew up and stopped wearing numbered jerseys with someone else’s name on them.

Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. It does look rather sad for a grown man to wear a sports jersey or shirt with another man's name on it. Seems rather emasculating. Gives the impression that the wearer is not manly enough on his own and needs to "borrow" manliness from somebody else.

A woman can make it work though. If a woman wears a shirt with my name on it, I might be flattered.

Not really.

From Nov, 2016...

Good. Most of the country will get to see what an insipid, derivative “Glee” ripoff this purportedly historical musical actually is. Makes me think of a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade some years back, when PC was running fully amok. They prominently featured a bunch of people dressed as vegetables dancing around singing “Food, wonderful food.” Well, yes, people do eat on Thanksgiving, it does play a prominent role. However, the food isn’t the reason. Hamilton is like that.
