Yep the Communations Act of 1934 still states, if a station accepts any advertising for a political race, they must accept any advertising for that race that can afford their rates--and isn't allowed to censor the commercials
i liked the new graphics too, hope this graphic set isn't NFL only like the last NFL/SNF graphics cause when NBC debuted those graphics in 2018, as in 2018, the general NBC Sports graphics for all things not Olympics & Golf were clearly old and still in use, NBC needed a graphics overhaul for NBC Sports but opted to do it just for NFL and debut a side ticker for Motrosports instead of a overall graphics change and a new scorebox graphic for NHL for the postseason in their final season of their NHL deal (which was pointless as NBC was lameducked at that point for NHL on NBC) . i hope the new 2022 NFL/SNF graphics packages will be a universal (no-pun intended at NBCUniversal) graphics package overhaul at NBC Sports for all sports that aren't Olympics or Golf, even with the NBC logo clearly can be changed between NBC (the logo can be also used for NBC Sports Net RSNs), USA, CNBC (which would put the CNBC name under the NBC Peacock logo) the Peacock dots logo or blank logoless spot if it's a NFL Preseason game produced by NBCUniversal under NBC Sports Network RSNs umbrella on a non-NBC station that is not NBC O&O.My take aways (may contain spoilers)
*I love that new score bug design!

*Matthew Stafford has an offensive line that Joe Burrow lacks, but Burrow is more clever.
*We saw OBJ, Von Miller, Eli Apple, etc. all reclaim some former glory.
*Literally most of the flags were in the 4th quarter LOL. I do wonder if the Super Bowl policy of just roll with the play will get any traction?
*The Halftime show: Good if you're into that kind of music. The rest of us could've used some translators or something. Press 1 for English, anyone?
*HFT Part 2: At least they are awesome entertainers and that house set was cool.
*HFT Overall: Meh. Definitely toned down due to COVID-19. But they tried. Better luck next year.
*Other aspects of the game. Great coverage (Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth makes for a dynamic duo), A good close match-up worth watching. It's to bad there was a few injuries, but I'm glad they didn't pull any experiments on the SB.
Yep. 🤦♂️
That's why I was OK with the Rams winning even though, like most neutrals, I'd come into the game rooting for the underdog Bengals. Added benefit: We're spared weeks of "what if" discussion of that play on sports radio -- unless the bettors call in to bemoan that TD's effect on their wagers. Take it away and the Rams covered the spread.
The get-off-my-lawn demographic has entered the chat.
Not being familiar with NFL rules, could the coach have "thrown the challenge flag" on the play?
To be fair, most of the GOML crowd would rather have seen Aerosmith or the Stones or even Huey Lewis and the News on stage than Up With People, whose appeal was to the parents of the Boomers, not the Boomers themselves.
Fun fact: Aerosmith have performed with Nelly and Mary J Blige in the Super Bowl halftime show back in 2001. I wonder how the "get off my lawn" crowd felt then!
Probably the same way they felt when Aerosmith and Run-DMC collaborated on "Walk This Way.": "We still don't like rap, but we'll listen to this because the guitar riffs are awesome." Most would have no interest in a Run-DMC release that didn't feature a rock act.
Pull up the Prince half-time show and watch it. It's on YouTube. It's there.
How generous of you to assume they have a mate who wants to spend time with them. 😉
Also, it didn't help that Nickelback were a dominant force in 00s rock. Nickelback's popularity is perhaps one factor that kept rock from gaining new fans.
