CBSs super GIANT big day tomorrow

From a thread about Flynn possibly being pardoned tomorrow

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=10405321

For those who don’t watch basketball:
Tomorrow is the last day, for a week, of the college basketball tournament

At 2:05 Villanova and Texas Tech tip-off
At 5:05 Kansas and Duke tip-off. DuKe is a ratings giant from those who LOVE them (white people from my experience) to those who despise them (ME!) and Kansas will draw in a lot of people from the “heartland”. This is THE big game of basketball royalty. The only part of the bracket that played out as planned.

Basketball games generally last about 2 hours.

That means (assuming they skip the local news) as the big game ends roughly just after 7pm on the east coast......

60 Minutes with Stormy Daniels. Think all the people (guys) who’ve been pounding beers at home or at a friend’s or at sports bars are going to switch channels and miss the blonde busty pornstar? Pffft this is basically the Fox News business model.

CBS will drown their audience with promos for 60 Minutes all day long.

the Sweet 16 stage meant that today's game was a Sweet 16 game, not an Elite 8 game.

except in the orchestra pit last night the game came on before we started, at the intermission then after we were done to see the final few points. So I do know they won.
