I read that as "Nick Cannon munching on red carpet." Not sure if I'd watch that or not.

I understand the power of a captive audience, but I do cringe when they crowbar in promos for all their other "products." Shots of cast members in the audience, interviews with actors with no connection to the game, segments featuring shows that have nothing to do with the game. STFU already.

Useless. Not a single time listed.

I'll watch this game like every other football game or television show I watch. I change channels during commercials.

I hate commercials and never watch them.

Agreed. My family and I always tuned in the Macy's Parade on Thanksgiving morning so we could check it out while starting the prep work for dinner. Over the past few years, they've shown less and less of the actual parade, and more crap like you mentioned. Instead of showing a float or listening to a marching band, they switch to an interview with some jagoff who is "Star of the new hit show..."

Very irritating. But at least it's over soon and the dog show starts.

Oh, wait, that's NFL network. Oh well.

Hotel & Arrival Reports: Randy Moss will provide updates from the Patriots team hotel, while Alex Flanagan will report from the Giants hotel.

Pats got the raw end of that deal.

FTA: "Bob Costas will open NBC Sports' six hours of Super Bowl XLVI pre-game coverage with a live report from Georgia Street in downtown Indianapolis at Noon ET on Sunday, Feb. 5."

I suspect they're hoping people will just remain glued to NBC from that point on. I mean, it is a press release from NBC.

So this is some sort of bird show, or what?

Who's Nick Cannon? (new window)

NBC can destroy a live event like no other. 2010 Vancouver olympics, on 3 hour tape delay to the west coast US, in the same time zone. Most of us already knew the outcome prior to things being on, and if we had CBC we had watched it live already.

DIAF NBC self-congratulatory endless loop of celebrity sludge.

Kickoff 3:30 PST.

It made betting with stupid people more lucrative.

This is the only needed time. I hate the pregame stuff. STFU and play the game, already.

ariseatex: I'll turn on NBC once the discussion thread is greenlit.



Us TFers already have it, it's just not bold green
