Fans are generally OK with long time dominance in other sports. It has happened before. This site wasn’t exactly bored with Ronda Rousey and hoping for her defeat. Tennis and golf expect 4 major tournament wins in a row, they even give it a special name.

What you have to remember is that CBS is obviously turning a profit on this. They wouldn’t be paying up for the broadcast rights if there wasn’t profit to be made from sponsors. So the actual worth of the tournament is well above that $11B.

well I’m not suggesting they get programmed to the test. There’d be the rest of the situational handling. After all, the test could have a pedestrian step out in the road, or an ambulance with the lights on, or so on. It’s not just point-a to point-b.

oh, I get what you’re saying. Nike knows how it works, and so do the Yankees. This is odd because it’s a councilman bemoaning the loss of revenue. If the Yankees had insisted on a cut of money from the tobacco companies that’d be different.

I guess I should have qualified that as “a regretful missed opportunity to make a buck even by people who are not advertisers”. :) Of course advertisers see everything as a potential mark, same way daily fantasy leagues see every sport metric as bettable.

“It amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising for a product that hasn’t been been allowed to advertise on TV for over 40 years,”

They can come to Hartford as long as 1, they agree to be renamed the Whalers, and 2, they give up on that silly idea of going to the playoffs.

I feel there would be two distinct ways to judge this:

In a possibly unrelated story, the NBA will reduce their support for radio broadcasts.

Can you imagine what Vegas would do if that happened?

I’m just stuck on the fact that the official time isn’t the clock on the floor.

I believe he’s a hall of famer.

Complaining about a lack of black creators is strange when most of the average readers not only can’t tell you what color a comic creator’s skin is, but probably couldn’t even tell you the creator’s names for most of the books.

What’s the typical annual salary of a film archivist?

He His wife hasn’t ordered a supply of HGH for next season, either, indicating he’s probably done.

Related to the $450M for rights, I wonder if anyone’s done a study on the economic impact of games on thursday instead of sunday.

I still don’t get how some of these limited to the NFL Network.
