They can’t blame cord-cutting for this one. What has to be making the NFL execs nervous isn’t just the fact that the game last night was a great, high-scoring one between two big-market teams that went down to the wire. It’s also the fact that the public response to T-Mobile’s heavily converged commercial has been so viciously negative. You’re betting on the wrong horse, gentlemen. Do keep in mind that if everyone believed in equality, there wouldn’t be a Super Bowl in the first place as every team would finish 8-8.
