Getting Ready for the Super Bowl

We have a few great things to get you ready for Super Bowl Sunday here at the new and improved NYaT! First, I want to announce that we'll be doing another live chat this week. We'll be doing it on Thursday at 9:30 PM EST right here on the blog so make sure to come back for that excitement as we talk about Superbowl XLIV and all the happenings in New York sports.

But as you get read for the Super Bowl, we wanted to share with you a very special interview we did with Megan Pollock, Consumer Electronics Association Digital Answer Girl.


As we begin planning our Superbowl Sunday get-together or our brackets for March Madness we realize, that, sports fan or not, the games are undeniably a part of our lives. And the way we consume these sports is ever evolving- from live streams of the big game on your mobile phone, to the highest quality of picture that allows you to see whether that first down was made or not- probably more even clearly that the referees themselves can see. The way we as consumers watch sports has changed dramatically in this century alone.

Megan was kind enough to talk to us about how we consume sports in 2010 and the rest of the Consumer Electronics Association results from their 5th Annual “Sports and Technology” Study titled "From Mobile TV to 3D Televisions – The Way We Watch Sports is Changing":

Thank you to Megan for sitting down with NYaT and I think it gives us some good things to think about before Super Bowl Sunday. Here is the link if you would like to read that Wall Street Journal article I was referring to that says that there is only about 11 minutes of actual football during the football game. It's amazing how much we are able to occupy ourselves in between that down time. And here is the link that Megan mentioned, DigitalTips.org. 

A reminder on the live chat. You can put your e-mail address in the box to be reminded of the chat right before it happens:
