In what seemed like the first truly wholesome thing that has happened in 2021 so far, Nickelodeon was one of several networks that aired the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints NFL Wild Card game, which had never happened before. From its commentators to its visual effects, the NFL game was geared toward the whole family, with kids getting in on the fun with classic Nickelodeon show references throughout the game. Overall, the Wild Card Weekend broadcast was a huge hit for Nickelodeon, but 2021 is still making sure we donât have anything
totally pure, and there was a brief moment when a not-so-kid-friendly F-bomb slipped out amongst the family fun.
New York Post sports columnist Andrew Marchand and I discussed CBS s decision to simulcast Sunday s Bears-Saints playoff game on Nickelodeon.
My take was that the telecast didn t make any sense because kids these days don t even watch linear television.
Well, I m an idiot because that take was so bad and so dumb. Whether it was CBS s intention or not, the Nickelodeon telecast was a huge success on social media. But it wasn t a hit because it appealed to young kids. Rather, it appealed to older people who enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane. It also appealed to people who want more lightheartedness in their football broadcasts.
