NFL Affiliates - Top NFL Advertisers - How Much They Spent Last Season and How They Make Deals

The National Football League has many corporate sponsors. When you sit down and watch a Sunday night game, you will likely see hundreds of ads both discreet and in your face. Most of the time, you see repeats too. We all know that the automobile, soft drink, and beer industries do the best as NFL affiliates. But who made it to the top last year? Of course, it is a beer company.

1. Anheuser-Busch (A-B inBEv) spent about $134 million dollars total.
2. The US Government (including General Motors) came in second spending about $127 million in total.
3. Toyota was third with a $107.8 spent.
4. Ford spent about $97 million.
5. The NFL itself put in about $97 million for advertisements last year.
6. Miller Coors spent about $88 million total.
7. Sprint Nextel Company put in about $82 million.
8. Southwest Airlines spent about $66 million last year.
9. Verizon Wireless spent around $64 million.
10. And AT&T came in number ten spending about $64 million dollars on ads during the NFL 2009 season.

So how do these affiliates make deals? Well check out some of the advertising deals made in previous years.

o Beer: In 2005, it was agreed that Coors Brewing Co. would pay a total of $500 million over a five year period to become the NFL's official beer sponsor. This was a 67% increase from the previous year's deal. On an annual basis, the NFL takes in about $70 million for advertising.
o Soft drinks/snacks: the PepsiCo is spending over $1 billion on two major deals with the NFL. They are paying $560 million for Pepsi, Frit-Lays, and Tropicana to be advertised and an additional $500 million for Gatorade ads, all which will expire in February of 2011.
o Apparel: Beginning back in 2002, Reebok made a 10-year agreement with the league to pay $250 million in order to be the official outfitter of the NFL.
o Cars: Every year, General Motors pays out at least $140 million to be NFL's official car of choice. This four year deal which was signed back in 2005 split the vehicle status between three NFL periods. GMC trucks would be advertised during the regular season, Cadillac during the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl, and of course the Hummer during the NFL Draft.

If that wasn't enough, CBS has sold about 65% of their inventory for the game. As you can see, crazy amounts of money is spent during the NFL pre-season, post season, and of course during the Super Bowl. I couldn't blame them, the NFL is huge. So keep your eye out this season for commercials with the new Ford F150 Exhaust, the luxurious Cadillac Escalade, and of course the big mean Hummer because millions were spent for your very own viewing pleasure.

Top 10 All-Time NFL RBs

Only one current running back - LaDainian Tomlinson - merits being named one of the NFL's all-time 10 best, and only one other guy who has played in the 21st century - Emmitt Smith - makes the list. Does that mean today's RBs are worse than before? No, but times have changed ... there are two reasons why the old-timers dominate this ranking.

First, although RBs remain roughly the same size, defensive tackles have become enormous and linebackers and strong safeties have gotten much faster and to counter that, a passing attack has become more prominent. Second, the 16-game season gives backs such a pounding that most teams use a "running back by committee" system or insert a second-stringer with a contrasting style to give their starter a rest, hence diminishing his importance.

OK, LaDainian and Emmitt, here are your partners.

1. Jim Brown. No one has ever combined power and speed the way Brown did at 6-2, 228. In his nine seasons before he abruptly retired in 1966 at age 30, he led the league in rushing eight times (a record). He also still holds the mark for most seasons leading the league in attempts (six) and most seasons leading in rushing TDs (five). Most impressively, of all the running backs who ever played and had 750 or more career attempts, Brown after all these years still has the highest average gain (5.2).

2. O.J. Simpson. Lots of backs are fast but no one ever as blazingly so as Simpson (9.4 in 100-yard dash), and none with his shiftiness and eye for daylight. He was the first player to rush for 2,000 yards in a season (he did it in just 14 games) and he holds the record for most 200-yard games (six). He led the league in rushing four times.

3. Emmitt Smith. When he retired in 2004 after 14 seasons, mostly with the Cowboys, the same precise footwork he displayed in winning "Dancing with the Stars" had earned him most of the NFL's career rushing records. These include most attempts (4,409), yards gained (18,355), 1,000-yard seasons (11), TDs (164) and 100-yard games (78). Enough?

4. Barry Sanders. He rates as pro football's most electric runner ever with his quick, darting moves and squirming switchbacks. Before retiring abruptly (a la Brown) after just 10 seasons, he had set a record (still holds it) for most consecutive games with 100 yards (14). He is second all-time in in most 1,000-yard seasons (10) and the third all-time rusher (15,269).

5. Walter Payton. He held most of the running records when he hung up his spikes in 1987 but they've since been broken. He still ranks second, though, in rushing yardage (16,726) and 100-yard games (77).

6. Gale Sayers. Until he suffered bad injuries to both knees, Sayers may have been even better than his Bears colleague Payton. Three times he achieved the amazing feat of scoring a rushing TD, pass reception TD and kick return TD in a game.

7. Tony Dorsett. He compiled 12,379 rushing yards in his career, second only to Payton at the time. He set the NFL record for longest run from scrimmage ... a 99-yarder.

8. LaDainian Tomlinson. He holds the record for most TDs in a season (28 in 2006) and has reeled off five 200-yard rushing games. At age 29 and hopefully some mileage left on those wheels, he can add to his rank of third in career rushing TDs (115).

9. Franco Harris. He rushed for 1,000 yards nine seasons but is best known for his quirky "Immaculate Reception" in his rookie year of 1972. With the Steelers trailing the Raiders 7-6 in the playoffs with five seconds to go, he snagged a Terry Bradshaw pass that had caromed off the shoulder pad of Oakland's Jack Tatum and ran it in for the winning score.

10. Eric Dickerson. No one has ever topped the 2,105 yards he gained in 1984. He got to 10,000 yards rushing faster than anybody ... in just 91 games (Brown needed 98, Sanders 103, Smith 106).

Among today's young RBs, Adrian Peterson of the Vikings has a chance to crack this list (he set a record last year when he gained 296 yards in a game, against a tough Chargers defense, no less) as does, presumably, rookie Darren McFadden of the Raiders. Ask me again in 2018. Marcus Allen (second in most career TDs with 123), Earl Campbell (led league in rushing three times) and John Riggins (rumbled for 11,352 yards in his career but in an oddity, he gained more yards after age 30 than before) are other guys to remember.

How To Get The NFL Playoff Tickets Without Being Conned

Getting NFL playoff tickets is not such a hard thing as some people take it out to be. At the same time, it is not a piece of cake altogether. If you would like to make sure that you watch these games and you watch them well, then it is imperative that you do more than the average person. And despite the fact that a lot of people get them and many of those people did not spend so much time and energy wondering how to get them, not all people get the same experience. And that is what I would like to look at today. Like every other rational consumer, your goal should be deriving the maximum amount of satisfaction while at the same time sending the least amount of money on the same.

The first thing that you should do if at all you would like to get some affordable NFL playoff tickets is that you need to research. When the playoffs will have a lot of activity and publicity, the tickets might end up being rather quite expensive. This it is therefore important that you as the person who would like to watch the games, do your best to get them at a price that you can afford. When doing this, please take note of the fact that there are plenty of conmen all over the internet who can easily set up sites to deceive you that you will be getting the tickets at affordable prices. In many cases, these conmen are liars who are simply not in possession of any tickets.

In addition to that, you will also need to ensure that the site that you will be buying your NFL playoff tickets is one which will not steal the details of your credit card or your debit card. The legitimate sites will lead you to the main site which will allow you to buy the same using PayPal which is usually very less risky compared to the credit card and the debit card.

Once you have decided on the website through which to buy the NFL playoff tickets, the next step involves the planning for the day. Ensure that you pick the right seat and that you dedicate the whole day to watching for that game. If you want to enjoy the most when watching the playoffs, the best thing to do is to ensure that you really do not have any other baggage that may bring the joy out of watching the game.

If you would like to watch some great games without spending much, you can check out for some NFL playoff tickets that you can afford.

Dan Marino: Playoff Highlights

In my opinion Dan Marino is the best pure passer the league has ever seen. Here are some highlights of Marino in the playoffs throughout his brilliant career. Even though he didn't win a superbowl, he is still one of the top 5 quarterbacks of all time if you ask me. The Instrumental is called must be love by Cassie ft P.Diddy.

2010 UCF Football Predictions

Central Florida begins the 2010 college football season with a renewed belief in their system and a new quarterback under center. The Golden Knights missed the opportunity at a division title when the ECU Pirates topped the Houston Cougars to win the conference in the closing weeks of the 2009 season. The G-Knights had a successful season going 8-5 and 6-2 in the conference, including a 37-10 win over then No. 15 Houston in Week 10. They may have fared much better had they not dropped to 0-2 to start the season. However, they stormed back with six consecutive conference wins, but then concluded the campaign with their third bowl loss in as many years, falling to the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers 45-24 in the St. Petersburg Bowl.

Consistency seems to be the name of the game for UCF, and if they get some, they could very well win the C-USA East crown in 2010.

Here's a closer look at the 2010 Central Florida Golden Knights to help make your College Football wagers winners.

Offense:

With the exclusion of a few key components, including quarterback Brett Hodges, the Golden Knights offense remains mostly intact. It will be the job of offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe to blend together returning veterans and new freshman in an attempt to recapture the essentials of an offense that was ranked fourth highest in scoring, while allowing the fewest points scored in the conference last season.

The offensive push will start with newly minted QB Rob Calabrese, who appears to have the starting job going into fall practice. The sophomore started in three games, along with four other appearances last season completing 25 passes for 265 yards with three TDs. He showed his leadership skills by leading a 10-play touchdown drive, where he completed 5-of-7 passes, with five minutes remaining in last year's bowl bid. His quest for a starting position will be challenged by freshman Jeffrey Godfrey who will keep the coaches looking, should Calabrese run into any unforeseen problems.

The ground attack will be led by returning RB Brynn Harvey. As a freshman Harvey rushed for 1,100 yards and 14 TDs on 261 attempts. A knee injury threatens to delay his 2010 start for up to four games. If that happens running backs Brendan Kelly and Jonathan Davis could get more opportunity to prove themselves early on.

Calabrese will have a pair of capable receivers to help bolster his passing stats in 2010. The first is junior wide out Kamar "Hollywood" Aiken who drug down 36 receptions for 610 yards last season. On the opposite side will be all-around wide receiver, A.J. Guyton. Despite his small frame, standing just 5-11, he plays much larger. The sophomore standout averaged 13 yards on 44 receptions, contributing a total of 572 yards for the G-Knights offense.

Defense:

Derrick Hallman, Lawrence Young, Kemal Ishmael, Josh Robinson and conference Defensive Player of the Year, defensive end Bruce Miller are just a few of the defending jewels that return to a very good Golden Knights squad that led the conference in total defense and sacks, as well as scoring defense, rushing defense and tackles for loss.

With the departure of Corey Hogue, Josh Linam and Chance Henderson, who missed all of last season with a knee injury, will need to be prepared to hold down the middle second row. They will get some help from Young on the outside.

The secondary looks solid with junior safety Derrick Hallman right in the thick of things.

2010 Prediction: First in the C-USA East: UCF return 19 seniors and 17 players who started at least once a year ago. Most would guess that his alone should be enough to get it done in 2010. While that factor alone does afford them a distinct advantage over other teams within the C-USA, a lot of the Golden Knights success will rest on their ability to bring back last year's defense, keeping the score low enough to overcome a sometimes-anemic offense. With other teams in the East retooling this coming season, the Golden Knights cannot afford to give up this "golden" opportunity.
