Thread: In a recession, even the Super Bowl takes a hit

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- When the Super Bowl festivities roll into Tampa late next month, the party blitz and corporate spending that surround the big day may take a hit because of the economic crisis.

Sponsors have been slower to commit. Companies are scaling back plans, carefully watching expenses, bringing fewer guests and pushing back travel bookings. The private party circuit will be missing a few staple destinations, including the annual Sports Illustrated fete.

Remind me later, I'll feel sorry for the NFL and Goodell then.

The League is praying for the Manning bowl.

eh Goodell has already made the money lost back in fines levied against the players

While that's true, fines are given to charities.

so its the United Way thats getting rich off of Allen... never would have guessed

but in fairness Allen get's to take a tax write-off as well, not a tax credit.

But a write-off is at least something considering how much the players get taxed.
