I mean, it was only 6 dollars, hardly the 80 dollars a PPV boxing event costs
Streaming services won't cost 80/month until AT LEAST mid 2025

Super Bowl being ppv is unlikely unless a ppv provider bids a lot of money for the rights. The Super Bowl is rotated among the broadcast tv providers. With alternate streaming and cable providers being picked. This year it is cbs, last year fox year before nbc etc.
But they bid for the rights to do that, and already paid billions of dollars. And the network that paid for the rights to the games. So until the NFL renegotiates their contract with the networks. And a network decides to shoot themselves in the dick. It is unlikely to go full PPV. It’ll be the status quo until 2033…it also means Thursday night football is here until then.
And there is about 50 minutes of advertising time in a Super Bowl. Meaning about 100 commercials at 7 million a commercial. And advertisers won’t pay the fuck you money unless there is a big audience.
Also congress occasionally threatens them about pulling their antitrust exemption. For regular season games.
The only one of the big 4 that doesn't have a paid streaming service to force you to is fox sports, though you need a cable package to access everything they offer. There's already Paramount+ for CBS, peacock for NBC, ESPN+(or Disney+ or Hulu or jesus fuck break up Disney already)
I'd love for one of them to melt down with login error, buffering, etc for the biggest TV event in the US though. Definitely no issues.

ESPN doesn’t get the Super Bowl because they can’t broadcast. I think ABC negotiated in one. Although a total meltdown would be hilarious. And likely if they tried. Because the internet is full of trolls. It would 100% get DDOS’d.
I am pretty sure there is a local market clause because NBC simulcast to the local market during the Peacock game. Edit: this Super Bowl is being simulcast both on paramount+ and cbs. That will probably be the norm.
And the superbowl is one of those things that the NFL doesn’t want to fuck with. Also it would likely threaten their antitrust exemption, because racism.
what a sad end to an otherwise great game. love making a terrible decision at the end is just heart breaking. also, the lesser brother should lose his job for missing that 40 yard FG.

Edit: And Houston's pre-snap penalties are getting out of hand.

I dunno. Outside of the punt return, they got one FG, and had a chance at another.
What Houston has done in such a short time is impressive. But they need some more experience if they're going to go deep.
And honestly, as long as Baltimore don't step on their own dicks, I'm not sure they're not the best team playing, SF included.

Yeah, they looked like PS2 models left on idle.
