OT: 2013 NFL playoffs and other hirings/firings

[GM17*]

CBS gets 3.8M for every 30 seconds of extra commercials during this blackout

CBS loves this ,, Also lots of people tuning back in to see what is going on

Commercials and black-outs: the real viewer draws.

 

[Saugus]

This game is a blowout. People are tuning out. And if you notice they aren't going to extra commercials. CBS absolutely hates this.

There are no extra commercials. They aren't just calling up Doritos asking them for another 4 million to re-air a commercial.

I know everyone here isn't a business major but Christ.

No, but they do often have commercials that don't get aired because the game doesn't go long enough or have enough stoppages. They can show those now and collect that money that might otherwise have to be refunded.

Oh well, game should be starting again soon.

There wasn't a commercial break after the original blackout. Please indulge me in CBS's extra money

They did one right after the outage...

"after the original outage"

 

[DatBoyJPP]

And there wasn't a commercial break after SF's punt so that outage commercial block was used there.

let the butt pounding of the Niners continue

I mean really, there'd be an investigation as to how the power went out if CBS cleared an extra billion dollars worth of commercial money because of this. I don't know how they decide what gets re-run and what doesn't though.

Southerners aint ever pay they bills.

I don't know how they decide what gets re-run and what doesn't though.

Which is why it stayed on coverage the whole time

I liked Steve Weatherford's point the best. Game is forfeited and the Giants are champs again.

Weatherford is the best.

Many people are concerned about the weather for next year's Super Bowl. 35 degrees with lights is better than 70 in darkness! #sbxlviii

Imagine if this happened before the halftime extravaganza, the NFL would be crapping its pants.

Good job by Crabtree to stay up after getting hit twice.

Vegas bookmaker texted me he was going to be fired. Told he had a blackout prop at 100,000 to 1. Was a joke.

Wow, I wonder if anyone actually made that bet and how much they won.

Oh come on... who hasn't blacked out in NOLA.

Oh that is awesome!!! Might be one of the winners.

 

[NJDevs26]

Maybe Jimmy really did turn out the lights, the Niners have been breathing fire since the delay.

 

[Nick0930]

Wow...We may actually have a game now.

 

[MadDevil]

Cue the conspiracy theories.
