It's Super Bowl Day on $ale, in honor of Super Bowl XLIX. Steven has $323 in his bank. Who would like to challenge him? (If you've played in the last two episodes, please sit out. Also, when you sign up, would you please tell me what your favorite NFL team is?)

----------------------- (the reason that the video quality looks so bad is revealed when it pulls away to reveal me standing beside the screen, wearing a referee's uniform) Greg: Hi there. The reason we started with that presentation ID is for effect. No, we're not going to show you a football game on a Wednesday. That would be just silly. However, since Super Bowl 49 will be on NBC, the network thought it would be fun to have a Super Bowl-themed episode of this program. Hence, the wardrobe change. Don't worry, aside from aesthetic things here and there, it's still $ale of the Century. I'm getting free tickets to the game and a pay raise for this. So, let's get it on! (I blow the whistle around my neck) ------------------- (drumroll) (shot of Steven Anderson) Charlie Tuna: (VO) This is our returning champion Steven Anderson from Plymouth, Massachusetts. Stand by to see Steven play for a new boat, valued at $32,299![SPECIAL OPENING THEME BY JOHN WILLIAMS] Today, on America's biggest bargain sale, we're offering a pair of Acura RLXs valued at $115,740 for $530!
All the prizes, plus a cash jackpot of $860,000 for $750!
Those are just two of the incredible bargains as we celebrate Super Bowl 49....
on....
(echo effect)  And now, here's your head referee, Greg Palmer!(the doors open, and I run to my lectern)Greg: Thank you! Thank you, Charlie Tuna, and welcome to a special Super Bowl edition of $ale of the Century. Well, it's that time of year again, time to watch two of the best teams in the NFL play against each other for honor, glory, and a nice little bonus in their paychecks. So, we're celebrating that today. And here to join us, wearing a Patriots jersey, is a fine champion. Steven Anderson! Hiya, Steven. It looks like you're wearing that jersey very well. Do you have any Super Bowl Sunday plans? |

I'm actually working that day. My convenience store just reopened and since I'm now a manager instead of a cashier, with great title comes great responsibility and all that. I'll be getting plenty of updates that night believe me

Audience?
(I conduct the audience)
Audience: Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Greg: What a pity you have to work that day. If you have a tablet or a desktop computer, you'll be able to watch 11 hours of coverage for free. In addition, the NFL has given the exclusive rights to live stream the Super Bowl on smartphones to Verizon Wireless. So, learn your options.
Coming back to you, Steven, I'm going to ask Jon Miller, president of NBC Sports, to give you a pass. Oh wait, you're a manager. Then NBC will just have to hook up your convenience store with TVs and everything so everyone, you included, can watch the game. Whaddya think of that, audience? (audience cheers) Good. Now, let's get down to business. You have $323 in your bank. A win with just $12, that's all you need, will get you that boat Charlie mentioned at the top of the show. However, a winning score of $122 or more will earn you a piano worth over $50,000. Are you ready to go?

All right, then. Here to introduce the challengers is the sideline reporter on Sunday Night Football, Michele Tafoya! (Michele walks out on stage to cheers and applause)  Oooh, Michele. Looking very nice, I must say. Michele: Of course I do, Greg. But I don't know why I'm here. I'm not a game show hostess!Greg: No you're not. You're my little sideline reporter. (I put my arm around her) Michele: (disgusted) Ha! Don't try that on me. I'm a married woman!Greg: Look, I'm not too wild about this either. I don't know anything about football. This is NBC's attempt to plug the Super Bowl. CBS did the same thing with Thursday Night Football last summer, so now it's our turn. Right after taping, you and I can march into NBC's headquarters together and demand a raise. Michele: Sounds good to me.Greg: Wonderful. Now, who did you bring us? (as the 1994 NFL on NBC theme plays, cheerleaders escort our players to their seats)Michele: Our starting lineup includes an unemployed Eagles fan from Marlton, New Jersey. Please welcome Michael Clifford! And he's into game shows, music, classic TV and girls. Cheering on the Carolina Panthers, from Elba, Alabama, here's James Greek!(cheers and applause) Greg: OK, Michele, go back to the sidelines before I throw a flag for illegal participation! Michele: And I throw a flag for an illegal motion! (she exits) Greg: I miss you already, Stacey. James! How are you doing? Please tell us something about yourself, including what you plan on doing Super Bowl Sunday. |

Well good. The Super Bowl was meant for families to enjoy together..... I think. Since this card mentions you like girls, are you planning on inviting any of them to watch with you?

Oh, your girlfriend's in Bolivia? Fascinating. Maybe you'll win enough money to fly out there. Good luck to you.
Michael Clifford. You are an Eagles fan. Please tell us something about yourself and what you plan to do Super Bowl Sunday.

Well, when I first followed football, I wasn't an Eagles fan. I was a Cowboys fan back in the Troy Aikman/Emmitt Smith/Michael Irvin days. I started following the Eagles back in 2000 when they were finally winning again. As for Super Bowl Sunday, I'm going to be staying at home & watching the Seahawks beat the Patriots. LOB!

OK. "L-O-B". Never heard that one before. What exactly does it mean, and no, you're not getting $5 for this one.

"LOB" stands for Legion Of Boom. That's the nickname for the Seahawks secondary led by Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, & Kam Chancellor among others. Are you sure I don't get $5 for that, Greg?  |

(I walk over to Michael's desk, pull out and open my wallet, and give him $5) Here. There's your $5. (audience laughs, I walk back to my lectern) Hey, he wanted $5, I gave it to him. Good luck to all three of you. We'll give you each $20. (the board initializes)
James: $20
Michael: $20
Steven: $20
Player in the lead after the Century Round wins the game and gets to do some fabulous shopping. Steven needs to win with $12 for the boat, but $122 would give him a beautiful, restored piano worth just a dollar shy of $55,000. Here we go with Round 1. 1. How many minutes are in a standard quarter of professional football?
2. What team hit the Hot 100 in 1986 with "The Super Bowl Shuffle"?
3. In what state would you find Gillette Stadium?
4. The Sunday Night Football opening theme is a reworking of a 1988 song by what famous female rocker?
5. Out of Frank, Al, or Dan.... what might a hot dog be called?(buzzcodes from 1-100 and answers via PM, please) |

Time now for an Instant Bargain. Player in the lead can buy bargain merchandise. Steven, you've got a $10 lead. Maybe you'd like to buy this! (Kelly and Mitch, in workout gear, break a sweat on this equipment; Michele comments) Michele: Steven, you can work up a sweat with these two prizes. First, get your balance with this trainer. This balance trainer simulates the movements of a surfboard on water to provide the same muscle-toning, full-body workout. An actual surfboard is affixed to semi-inflated exercise balls that shift and displace air as you move, causing the board to tilt and forcing muscles in the legs, abdomen, and arms to work hard to maintain your balance.
And then, work on your cardio with this virtual reality treadmill. It adjusts its incline to simulate the terrain you're watching on a television. The included video player transmits first-person, high-definition video of trails, hills, and city streets in the majestic landscapes of northern Italy and the southwestern United States to a television. The treadmill automatically raises or lowers to simulate the incline of Venice's cobblestone bridges as you stroll past gondolas docked on the Venetian Lagoon, the video automatically speeds up or slows down to match your pace, and the dual 5-watt speakers play the ambient sounds from the virtual destinations. Furnished by Hammacher Schlemmer. Together, these are normally priced at....
$2,600But they can be yours on $ale of the Century for only....$6(audience cheers as I join them up there) Greg: Very nice. Very nice gym equipment. (referring to Mitch) William "The Refrigerator" Perry, meet Mitchell "The Freezer" Lewis. (audience laughs) This is very nice gym equipment, Steven. Could you use it? |

Post by palmer7 on Jan 24, 2015 10:49:32 GMT -5
I don't know, are they inflated properly, Michele?
Michele: They will be when you get them.
Greg: All right, then. Tell you what I'll do. You have a $10 lead. I'll knock a dollar off the price and sell them to you for the value of a question. And, for workout clothes.... (I pull some money out of my pocket) $400 in cash. That's $3,000 in equipment and cash for just $5 and you'd still have a $5 lead. Going once.... going twice.... (audience shouts suggestions)

Time now for the Fame Game. Players are playing for control of the board. Looking for a famous person. I am an athlete, born in San Mateo, California. I regularly attended 49ers games at Candlestick Park in the 1980s, where I became a fan of quarterback Joe Montana; since then, I have mentioned Montana as one of my inspirations and an idol. I attended football camp at the College of San Mateo as a kid, where I learned to throw the football from camp counselor, and American football quarterback, Tony Graziani. I was drafted as a catcher in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft by the Montreal Expos. I played college football for, and graduated from, the University of Michigan, and was selected with pick #199, a compensatory pick, in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. Considering my later achievements, many analysts have called me the best NFL draft pick of all time.(buzzcodes and answers, please) |
