The audience that watches those games is not the audience that will buy this phone. That, and the nfl mobile app doesn't play nice with ICS yet, so it'd be stupid to advertise it during a football game. (and that's ignoring the fact that Verizon has NEVER advertised a non droid phone prior to it release being announced)
Thanks for pointing out that i don't want to buy this phone. I wasn't aware till you just told me.
And i agree... advertising to a massive national audience would be stupid. Only dumb jocks and apple fan boys watch football.
I would have to agree that generally speaking, an nfl audience is not the GN target market. That doesn't mean that there aren't some football fans that want this device, but out of 100 tv sports attics, 80 of them are below the brain function of anything more complex than opening a can of beer. That only leaves 20% that may or may not be interested in a high end Android device, and advertising is too expensive for these numbers. More importantly though, is the fact that Verizon wants to sell bloat filled Droid devices way more than it wants to sell a Nexus.
I know some of you are going to take offense at this, and I realize there are plenty of intelligent people that watch football, but a group of guys that cut the sleeves off their flannel shirts and yell, "git er done" is not the demographic for this phone.
