Came across a funny ad for the NFL Network where they had a Newlywed Game theme, complete with the original Newlywed Game set! Anyone else see that?
I'll bet their grand prize especially selected for them would be a trip to Jacksonville, Florida!

There was an ad for Sunday Ticket (IIRC) several years back that used the Dating Game set.
There's a link to a very small version (160x120 pixels!) version of it at

Desperate Ploy to fill seats in Alltel Stadium/Gator Bowl.
I will NEVER understand why the NFL's 4th largest stadium is in it's 2nd/3rd (Depending on if you factor in Milwaukee with Green Bay) SMALLEST market. Didn't it occur to ANYONE that just because the college games always packed house, that an NFL team might do just a little bit less in attendance.

I suspect, come early February, filling seats in Alltel Stadium will not be a problem. Call it a hunch.
(And since you apparently DO understand that the Gator Bowl existed before the Jags came into the league, you might understand why the place seats as many as it does.)

Oh, you mean that little pickup game that a couple of teams are in every year...The Superball, or whatever...Yeah, it should sell a few seats. (Heh, if it wasn't for a lack of money, I might just be AT that Superball..er..Super Bowl)

Of course I do...they had to have seating for the live alligator shows twice daily. Wait, that IS why it's called that, right :p

Nipped in the bud, Bob. Network's probably too happy with the performance of "Average Joe" and "For Love or Money"--which they both own lock, stock and barrel--to go forward with the "TDS/TNS" revivals.

Don't think that's it...that tourney was canned six years ago. ;-)
