So they can get out to Vegas for an overnight broadcast of a minor sport but couldn't get over to Dublin for a major international event earlier in the day.

To be fair VMTV didn’t bother either and they are a seven mile drive from the Aviva rather than in London! I’d not be surprised if the NFL stumped up some or all of ITV’s travel costs from the promotional point of view. I didn’t watch much of ITV’s coverage but they seemed to be using bespoke lower thirds - certainly quite different to what they used for the rugby. Also found it odd that Jason Bell, after working all season for Sky spent the Super Bowl with ITV - leaving Pheobe Schecter as Sky’s only regular analyst doing the big game (it seems Jeff Reinebold’s coaching commitments with Hawaii don’t seem to allow him as much time with Sky as he previously had).

Did CBS’ much vaunted “doink cam” get any usage? I certainly didn’t see it used in the first half (which is all I could get to see live).
