    Stupid Bowl Blackout in NY/NJ???

    As of midnight EST Tuesday, the Super Bowl is NOT a sell-out to the tune of 16K + unsold seats.
    And hotels are slashing room rates and removing minimum stay clauses, since they're stll BELOW 50% booked for the weekend.

    I'm wondering if someone or corporates will buy up the remaining tickets before 1800 Thursday (72 hrs before kickoff) to avoid blackout in one of the world's largest television markets????

    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    If that happened, it would be a fiasco. Nothing like a plan and this plan seems to be worth nothing.

    I thought the black out rule only applied to normal games, and not playoffs/super bowl?

    If it's blacked out I'll have to temporarily seal the mouth of my bear cave in order to survive the blast when NY and NJ explode, then switch on the pumps to save myself from drowning in the tsunami created by the seismic shock.

    Yeah, it's sort of like the Stanley Cup or the Curling World Championships, only with more people watching.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Well, that's OK 'cause I have cable in my cave so I'll have on Animal Planet watching the Puppy Bowl. Better than the Dallas Cowboys, they have some really cute kitten cheerleaders at half time.

    Puppy Bowl. Kitty Bowl. Fish Bowl.

    I'm beginning to miss the Lingerie Bowl.

    It's sold out now. Someone was watching ABC news last night and bought them all.
