The move by the NFL to exclusively air this weekend's game between the New England Patriots and New York Giants on their own NFL network, which reaches only 40% of US households, was met with much criticism and frustration. With a win this weekend, the Patriots would become the first team to go undefeated in a 16-game season (the Dolphins did it in the 14-game '72 season).

Now it looks like pressure from Washington has changed their mind and suddenly the game is airing on NFL Network and both NBC and CBS. Of course, several local affiliates to the two teams had already negotiated exclusive rights to the game and sold ads at inflated rates, so they can't be too happy about having to share the game now with CBS and NBC.

I really liked this commercial. Jay-Z and Don Shula are playing what I like to think of as Madden 2015. The animation for the game on the table was very cool, and they get extra points for pairing these two up. That's a nice bit of casting, especially given that the Superbowl is in Miami this year.

I'm a little disappointed with the outcome of the game. Come on, Jay-Z's cool and all, but this is Don Shula. 1972. Undefeated. Etc. He can't lose to Jay-Z. The gorgeous model that cost him the game by blowing his field goal back was a nice touch though.
