It's still a pretty meager slice of total ad spending--only 7.5% last year, according to the report. But expect that to change.

At the beginning of the game, fans on opposing sides traded some light verbal insults while enjoying a slice of pizza and a cold beverage. But as it became apparent that what was supposed to be the logical finish to an historic season by the now-18-1 Patriots had morphed into an exhilarating back-and-forth battle, we focused on the TV set and friendly banter was replaced...
