Sunday Night Football Drive

Yowsers. If you’ve tuned into either Sunday night football this season, then I’m guessing you caught a glimpse of all the new bells and whistles the commentators get to use. Rotating field perspectives right before our eyes. Fancy three dimension play analysis. New virtual ball and down markers. Is there no end to the technological improvements?

One of the ideas I have yet to try during the game is the “live” feature that basically puts the viewer in charge. It offers things like alternative camera angles (fans can choose from multiple extra camera angles, including cable cam and “star cam”, picture-in-picture technology, in-game highlights, live stats and live interactivity).

That’s borderline information overload! Someone’s head just might explode one of these Sundays! So with all the investment in new action, I couldn’t help but think they’re missing out on another great opportunity to keep fans close to the season’s action – a customized flash drive! Preloaded with our Brilliant™ preload solution of course.

If it were up to me, I would’ve distributed thousands of these promotional flash drives, branded with the NFL logo no doubt, to fans attending pre-season games. With the Brilliant™ preload solution programmed inside the drives, the NFL could automatically send new product information, stats, highlights, whatever the NFL wanted, to every one of the distributed flash drives. So the next time a recipient plugged the flash drive in, the preload screen would be updated with the new information. Sure, folks can log into the NFL.com site to obtain this information. But that’s not as slick as simply plugging a flash drive in and letting it go to work for you.

And, because I respect the brain power of NFL marketing squad, I am impressed with what I think is the next best thing to my idea – the widget that you can download on the NFL.com site. This in essence is what a Brilliant™ preload solution on a flash drive would offer. The only difference is the widget available at NFL.com would be downloaded on your computer. So in the event you needed your up-to-the-minute stream of NFL news and you were away from your “personal” computer, you’d have to suffer through “widget withdrawal”. And as we all know, for some fans that may result in death.

But have no fear folks, because with NFL bulk flash drives engineered by CFgear, we can rid the world of this potential epidemic. That’s because with the Brilliant™ preload solution, you basically have the very same features of the NFL.com widget, but all right on your flash drive. So no matter where you are or what computer you’re using, you’ll have access to the widget and any other information you wish to store on the flash drive by simply plugging the drive in.

Ok. Ok. Settle down now. No need for a Lambeau Leap or a Flash Drive High Five. We’re all pretty humble ‘round CFgearville. Just make sure you give the powers that be at NFL.com some insight into what they missed out on this season. After the 3 millionth email they receive requesting the customized NFL flash drives, we’ll still be here ready to help bring yet another project to life!
