Mister TV

I’ll co-sign on that.

That Fire Country promo was the funniest commercial so far, even though it wasn’t supposed to be funny.

The Gigli of Super Bowl commercials just aired.

It’s real grass, they roll it in for games. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many candy commercials in a Super Bowl.

This! But I’m biased since I have Kelce scoring the 1st TD as one of my bets.

Did Matt Canada call those plays for KC?

It was really bad, but not Up With People singing Motown bad.

Yeah, that was really good. The entire Super Bowl XIV pregame show is on YouTube and I watched it a few weeks ago, I remember thinking the Kennedy flying around in a helicopter while George was doing an interview segment was weird. I also watched a bunch of old halftime shows and wow they were bad, totally forgot about the Indiana Jones, Patti LaBelle, Tony Bennett one.

Mojo Nixon has passed, looks like he had a heart attack after performing on an Outlaw Country Cruise. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mojo-nixon-dead-obituary-1234964257/

Those two are at the top of the list, you take just the use of the f-word out and they're basically PG. Does anyone remember Mystery, Alaska? When it first came out I thought it was some wholesome family friendly movie, then I watched it a few years later on HBO, besides being pretty bad there's a crazy amount of swearing, it was like they were going after the Goodfellas record.

He must have been a big fan of the 1979 World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates!

CBS is going to go all out with Swift's travels from Tokyo to Las Vegas, I bet they'll have Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race host the segments during the pre-game show.

He'll totally be like the old gangsters at the end of Casino, in a wheelchair wearing an oxygen mask.

I'm kind of surprised they were going to let him bet $15k, since even that would be super suspicious. The only people in Ohio betting five figures on regular season SEC college baseball games have insider info, or have a severe gambling addiction and should have their bets turned away.

I watched the first two episodes of Masters of the Air, they really should have cast someone else in the lead role, can't really tell if Austin Butler is trying to do an accent or he's sticking with the Elvis voice, also you couldn't have hair like his in the Army during WW2!

That looks like a jersey someone on a 2000's era sitcom would wear.

Back in the day I worked in corporate video production and was either running camera or audio when PR people worked with execs on what to say in touchy situations, never anything remotely as vile as this though. When the PR firm had a not horrible response for the exec, the exec usually ignored it, when the PR firm had a bad response the exec usually went with it.

Being up 17 going into the 4th is huge, they could have forced SF to burn a ton of time in trying to make that up, worst case scenario your up 3 with a few minutes left in the game.

Should have kicked the FG.

This!

The oil bust wasn’t the biggest issue Watts had with his expansion, he was buying tv time in markets he wasn’t running house shows in, he pissed away tons of money doing that, then Crockett did the same after he bought Watts out. Vince had a huge advantage over the other promoters when it came to expanding, he had consistent money rolling in from running shows at NBA/NHL arenas in NYC, Boston, Philly, Pittsburgh, DC, Long Island, and Northern New Jersey, plus towns like Baltimore and Providence that had buildings the same size the marquee arenas of other promotions.

There weren’t really that many options on cable besides USA, TBS and ESPN, channels like Tempo, FNN/Score and later Sports Channel America weren’t on that many cable systems and channels like TNN didn’t want wrestling, plus I can see USA totally bailing on wrestling after the blood stuff on Southwest. Also, it would have been really hard for the territories to survive into the 90’s on local tv. The influx of syndicated programming and infomercials that became widespread during the decade would have pushed local wrestling shows to odd times or low powered stations, which would have killed the house show business.

Fuck the Ravens, that was cheap.

Had some bonus bet money in my Caesars account, tossed in a few more bucks and parlayed both road teams on the money line.

Wow, that’s still on the WWE page.
