Joe Six-Pack: posting for the common man
How much did CBS pay to simulcast this trash?

275 million for 8 games on CBS and for the privilege of sending their "a team" to an additional 8 games exclusive to NFL Network.

From the outset, CBS emerged as the front-runner. The network’s initial pitch was strong, approaching the $275 million mark for one year. More importantly, it involved all of the network’s resources, with a commitment to promote the Thursday night games on CBS, CBS Sports Network, Showtime, CBS’s owned and operated stations, and CBS Interactive, Radio, Outdoor and Syndication.

As I said earlier in the thread, I find it simply amazing how the NFL fleeced CBS for the same crap quality games that were exclusive to NFL network previously.
