1. I’ve been staring at a blank page for 15 minutes to try to find a nice, timid way to say this, but I couldn’t come up with anything, so I’m just gonna go with my original thought: NBC embarrassed itself Sunday night.
From start to finish, the broadcast of Chiefs-Jets was hard to stomach for a legitimate NFL fan. If you aren’t a football fan and just tuned in for the spectacle, then NBC did a great job. But if you cared about the football game, you were treated to a rough three hours.
There’s a fine line between having fun with something and going overboard and becoming cringe. NBC was beyond cringe. And not just with the Taylor Swift nonsense.
