NFL sponsored by Microsoft

Anyone else notice that MS has pretty taken over the NFL? They are everywhere now. I'm loving it. On all the networks & ESPN. Windows, Surface & the lumia 1020 are pretty much plastered everywhere. ESPN now has a Xbox one logo on the news ticker. It like a MS shock & awe campaign.

Microsoft is definitely spending its money by advertising on NFL games.

They've been doing it for years for all major sports. They ramped it up when WP7 first launched.

Its even more now, especially the last few weeks. Never had any segments or sponsorships on ESPN Sportscenter either. Every segment is sponsored by MS. You can Surface signs on the sidelines, etc. Hopefully it lasts through the holidays to Windows Phone 8.1 release.

MS and the NFL have some 400 million dollar deal to..um..do stuff. Big plans apparently. I forget the details, but you can read about it here...
