Now I've seen it all, "1st and 10, presented by Citi"

[oboeguy]

Just saw this at around 1:12 left in the 3rd quarter of the Orange Bowl (watching on DVR delay, no ads FTW).

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

yup...not the first time they've done it. Anywhere a buck can be made, they will make it.

Hell, fights at the local hockey games are sponsored by a local bar...

companies are trying more and more ways to incorporate ads in the actual game/show/movie because of people who fastforward through the commercials

That's an HDTV tuner card connected to a 2005FPw. I was going to upgrade to a 2405FPw, but with the 2407FPw on the horizon soon, I'm going to wait for that. HDCP-enabled DVI FTW!

Holy crap, new AT&T commercial just started in Hi-Def! :Q

I can't believe the game is still going. I thought I had timed the FF perfectly for the end... and that kid misses the kick. Oy!

LOSER, now you must watch the ads!! :evil:

 

[Indolent]

I thought it was funny when the vice president or someone high up at capital one was interviewed during the capital one bowl...

reporter: "how has sponsering this bowl game helped your company?"

or something to that effect. Stupidest interview ever.

Nonsense. I stop by here, nef, whatever for a few and go back. Plus there are very few ads in OT.

Why is this surprising? Do you think sports exist just for our enjoyment? Nope. No sponsors/adverstisements, no sports. Period. Sports are nothing but entertainment. It's about money, not sports.

Well, people just wouldn't make as much money.
Remember, there was sports long before sponsors/advertisements.

Nooooo! My innocence!

I actually kind of prefer it. Better product placement than cmmmercials which take away from game/showtime.
