The best bits of the Nickelodeon broadcast.

Was this available outside the US at all?

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).

ITV's NFL coverage used the same graphics as the football (soccer) last season, then went there own way this season (like rugby has done).

Jeff was part of the talkSPORT team, rather than being with Sky for some reason.

A kickoff by San Francisco late in the fourth quarter did hit the post and caused a large doink to be heard (it sounded too loud to be real for me, but maybe they just had mics in the posts and turned up), but I don't think the cameras themselves were ever used.
