Because "the prodigy" Peyton Manning has to have a ring to wear at Thanksgiving dinner to show who is really the best player in his house!!!!

I didn't watch it. And for a hint of double-standards if ever I heard one......
NFL assistant counsel Rachel L. Margolies wrote in a follow-up e-mail, "we are consistent in refusing the use of our game broadcasts in connection with events that promote a message, no matter the content."
Unless they are commercial ads of course.
The real sporting even of the year follows in May. FA Cup final, anyone?

I watched The Closer all afternoon. Caught up on all the missed episodes. I, also, finished my homework (thought I was old enough not to have any) on a Quickbooks course I'm taking. I had more fun doing that than waiting for the supposed great commercials. A friend told me over the phone there were very few good commercials so I didn't miss anything. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

The NFL is quite draconian in protecting its interest in the game. I agree. Seems silly. It's not as if less people will see the game...and commercials with such showings. They undoubtedly have the right to control their product in this manner, but the wisdom of exercising it this way is more than suspect.
As for the game. The best team certainly won. It was painful to watch...after the first 14 seconds.

Legally - perhaps...but the issue of not having more than one TV on makes no sense to me. One case someone mentioned was where someone invites a bunch of people into their house to watch the game, but has a 55" TV set up in the living room and a small TV in the kitchen. When the ads come on and people migrate to the kitchen to get snacks they would, using the NFL's "standards", miss the ads. Breaking their rules with the 2nd TV means they would see the ads.
Obviously logic and the NFL don't go hand and hand, but that doesn't surprise me in the least.
