Crabtree has a lot to learn. Yeah, his hands are ridiculous but he is nowhere near where he should be as a top-tier receiver. Not skipping training camp would help.

I did see something today. It was about how Lynch will steal Media Day. Still waiting for national media to acknowledge that the Seahawks exist.

It would have helped if Michael Crabtree shook his hand after the game instead of being a bitch. We probably wouldn't have had Sherman go off on him and start the media circus.

LOL. Nobody would shake the other guy's hand in this case unless you're either John Cena, trying too hard, or both.

Seems insane that the 12th Man is just something that some Seahawks marketing director came up with in an office and now all these people buy into it and make it "their identity"... obsessed with the 12th Man and "12's"

I said it would have helped if she shook his hand as opposed to punching him in the face and you responded with "LOL Nobody would shake the other guy's hand". Missing the point that the punching him in the face part was the main issue. I don't think Crabtree is a bitch simply for not shaking his hand.

Here is a big reason why Super Bowl Sunday sucks in Canada.

From The Globe And Mail:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repor...ticle16502732/

Quote:
Don’t blame us for Super Bowl signal swap, CRTC head warns Rogers

Besides the weather, it is Canadians’ favourite thing to complain about at this time of year. During Super Bowl commercial breaks, Americans see adorable baby animals, slightly less adorable computer-animated babies and a long line of celebrities cashing cheques. But in Canada, viewers are stuck with the usual ads and promos for The Big Bang Theory.

The reason is “simultaneous substitution,” a rule that allows domestic networks such as CTV and CITY-TV to ask cable and satellite TV distributors to swap out an American station’s signal (and commercials) for their own, if the Canadian station is airing the same program at the same time. The process means that Canadian viewers miss out on some of North America’s best new television advertising during football’s annual championship – and the country’s federal broadcast regulator is tired of taking the blame.

On Friday, chairman Jean-Pierre Blais wrote a letter to Rogers Communications Inc. asking that it stop pointing the finger at the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission when viewers complain about being forced to watch Canadian signals on U.S. channels.

Mr. Blais wrote that “the time has come for broadcasters and distributors to start speaking up on simultaneous substitution rather than simply passing blame onto the CRTC.”

This time of year is a PR headache for the commission as complaints about the system skyrocket, largely because of the NFL playoffs. With reports that advertisers spend roughly $4-billion (U.S.) for 30 seconds of advertising time during the Super Bowl broadcast, for some the commercials are part of the fun of watching the big game. But Canadians have to take to the internet or a TV antenna to see them.

Mr. Blais’s letter was the result of an exchange on Twitter this week. On Jan. 19, during the broadcast of the NFL playoff game that sent the Seattle Seahawks to the final, a Rogers cable customer tweeted a message to the company’s customer service complaining about seeing CTV’s commercials on the Fox television feed.

“It’s due to the CRTC rules so no way to watch the Fox feed sorry,” a Rogers representative replied.

The rules, however, are more complex: TV networks are the ones who ask for substitution. They have the right to do so because of CRTC regulations, but the regulator says it does not force cable and satellite companies to swap the signals.

Networks ask for it because it protects their ability to sell ads, which is crucial to their business model: If the U.S. networks’ feeds were left in place, Canadian networks – who pay good money for the rights to broadcast The Big Bang Theory or a big sports match here – could not promise advertisers as large an audience for their programs.

A Rogers spokesperson said the company is “reviewing its processes” to make sure that it gives accurate information to customers about why simultaneous substitution occurs.

“Simsubs allow for the carriage of U.S. signals in Canada which are popular with our customers while at the same time preserving the Canadian rights market and the health of the Canadian broadcasting system,” Rogers spokesperson Patricia Trott said in an e-mailed statement.

Mr. Blais had asked Rogers to explain how its customer service representatives are trained, and what information they have on the rules. His letter also said that “it would be appreciated if you could remind your customer service representatives that broadcasters choose whether to substitute signals and that both the broadcaster and the distributor are responsible for the quality of the substitution.”
I'll reserve my thoughts on this, but I'm wondering what you all think about this? Legalized TV signal bootlegging, maybe?

Are you tuning in to watch commercials or the game?

Yes, there are a few commercials that are good to view for "water cooler talk" in the following week, but honestly, what the fuck would anyone complain about? Not being able to see advertising? That's absurd. I only wish I could block out or substitute commercials.

And it's been like that for a long time now for ESPN America or any other network not in the us broadcasting the game. You'll see the same 4 SKY commercials and previews for other big American games coming up and then it's back to the action.

Because...

A] We in Canada want to see the pure Super Bowl broadcast.

B] we DON'T want to see Canadian TV channels doing a stupid live-edited 'chop job' of U.S. TV shows.

C] We DON'T want Canada's major cable and satellite providers directly making money off any TV show created outside our borders.

D] We DON'T want to hear or see CTV plugging it's primetime lineup that has no shows made in Canada on it. It's called subsidized corporate welfare by Bell Canada Enterprises to be doing this shit.

E] We DON'T like Canadian advertising firms creating bids to profit off U.S. TV.

And F] We DON'T like hearing Canadian commercial voice-over artists doing a bad job reading off the copy of American commercial voice-over artists original ad work, for ads that are seen in both countries.

For those that may not know, Bell Canada Enterprises, Rogers Communications, Corus Entertainment, Shaw Communications, and a few other companies, stopped investing in making original Canadian TV shows a long time ago, and chose to make all of their operating budgets 'simsubbing' U.S. TV shows.(The only exemption here is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, or CBC, who don't rely on binging on U.S. TV shows to bloat their ad revenue artifically)

Bell, last year, made $750 Million in ad revenue off American programming, that they, frankly, have no right to bid on airing. I dunno about the rest, but for a country like Canada, that figure makes me think that that amount of money is WAY too much for any Canadian telco business to make off that revenue stream.

If I had a hand in this issue, I'd be...

A] Pulling the operating licenses for Bell, Rogers, Corus, and Shaw for bidding on U.S. media rights, and shutting those companies down, while having their entire corporate executive boards arrested for obstruction of open broadcast and broadband networks, and interference to stop them from existing...

B] Dissolving the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, and firing it's entire staff, for being made up of former employees of Bell, Rogers, et al...

C] Issuing a government order mandating that all decisions on Canadian telecommunications would come directly from the federal government, and not a body made up of former telco execs...

D] Forming new companies to manage only domestic TV shows, and telling them to offer the entire library of privately-made Canadian TV in a VOD business model, then privatizing them under new management that would not bid on TV rights outside Canadian borders...

E] Allowing U.S and International TV channels to come to Canada with no Canadian advertising restrictions placed on them...

F] Forcing all local Canadian TV channels owned by private companies(CBC exempt) to go to 21-hour news schedules, with them only airing a prime-time entertainment schedule from 8-11PM local time...

G] Forcing TSN and Sportsnet to air sports programming only with Canadian pro sports franchises involved...

H] Ordering that all Canadian cable and satellite bills be dropped by 60% of current prices...

And I] Beginning discussions with the FCC in the U.S. to unify the Canadian and American telco industries together, where both countries benefitted from the partnership on an equal basis.

And if anyone in Canada didn't like any of this? Well, they could kick rocks, because I'd only be interested in making sure that NO Canadian telco directly controlled A] the industry, and B] it's regulatory body, ever again.

There's WAY too much naivete among those who consume TV in Canada, and that has to stop.

But then, your airwaves would be filled with advertisements for mostly US made products from US companies. I thought that's the opposite of what you want.

Good luck with that one. I can't name an original Canadian television show that's worth anything.

This part is all nonsense. I don't care about your delusional agenda. Thank the maker you don't "have a hand" in anything. Honestly, why did you type all of this? We might have 100 Canadian posters on this site. Maybe 2 of them read this thread. Maybe. It was a very large waste of time and energy on your part to put this in the sports section of an internet wrestling message board.

Commercials are okay to have. Half time show is just a filler while people socialize. I would not mind if the commercials were replaced with regular ones but it would be noticed.

All this means is they just hired the 14th Ravens assistant who went on to become a head coach in a couple years. Kubiak will get a HC job somewhere after the stink of this past season wears off.

7 current HC were assistants in the Ravens organization: Pettine, Caldwell, Whisenhunt, Pagano, Rex Ryan, Mike Smith and Marvin Lewis.

I figured this out, kind of weird

Ravens 1st Super Bowl - Giants first Super Bowl loss - in Tampa
Ravens 2nd Super Bowl - 49ers first Super Bowl loss - in New Orleans

Only other remaining teams with a win and no losses in the Super Bowl...Tampa and New Orleans.

If I had caught this earlier in the season I would have seen it as a sign for a Ravens/Saints (cause face facts, the Bus suck) Super Bowl in New York..but now I can sit back and wait for Super Bowl L..in (or close to) San Francisco. Of course I doubt they ever go back to NY for a Super Bowl so that sort of ruins it..
