Lots of these streams don't show the commercials and instead just have blank airspace when the commercials are airing. But I don't know if that applies to the superbowl streams though since some people like to watch those commercials.

Oh snap, so pulling from pre network... Or just very determined.

My hatred of commercials is... Strong. Kudos to black screens of comforting non-crap.

Yep lot of sports streams I've seen straight up don't have commercials and goes to dead air during breaks, since they aren't streaming regular broadcast channels.

Really nice ones switch to stadium cameras during breaks so showing what's going on with the crowd and arena.

It's more that they're restreaming a stream, and the main stream doesn't have commercials. They're injected at commercial breaks, but aren't a part of the main stream (because people in different regions get different commercials).

You could also rip the stream, manually remove the commercials, and post it on torrent sites
