Look at how much Nickelodeon is dominating in the trending tab: the network itself (it's actually top trending!), #NickWildCard, SpongeBob, Arnold (I guess he partly counts), Slime Zone, Double Dare, Kenan & Kel, Lex Lumpkin, Drake & Josh and so much more I can't fit in on tweet.

Ok, iCarly and Sam and Cat got shoutouts. Let's see if the Nicktoons from the late 2000s to 2015 get mentioned at all throughout the #NickWildCard (I know Korra is actually attending the game with the other Nick characters)

90s Nicktoons (and Double Dare) getting shoutouts from the commentaries as well.

Hope you guys remember that Nick has cartoons past 1999, but outside of The Fairly OddParents and ATLA, they're hardly acknowledged in the mainstream. #NickWildCard

The number #1 sportiest scene in SpongeBob is the Sweet Victory moment in Band Geeks. No surprise there. A good lead-in for the #NickWildCard game.

From TheWrap:

Nickelodeon Broadcasts an NFL Playoff Game – Cue the SpongeBob Jokes

“Manti Teo’s girlfriend was just like Spongebob’s Bubble Buddy,” one viewer quips

The New Orleans Saints are beginning what could be Drew Brees’ last chance for a second Super Bowl title with a playoff game against the Chicago Bears, but fans are talking more about one of the networks broadcasting the matchup: Nickelodeon.

Yes, as part of an experiment by the NFL and Viacom to bring football to a new generation, the network of slime and SpongeBob SquarePants is airing a special kids-friendly broadcast of the wild card playoff game alongside the more expected broadcaster CBS. Some of the changes include slimy special effects during touchdowns, an explanation of rules by “Young Sheldon” star Iain Armitage, and comparisons of Brees and teammate Taysom Hill to SpongeBob and Patrick. While Nick has ventured into sports in the past with the Kids Choice Sports Awards, this is the first time the network has aired a live pro game.

Of course, given the fact that Nickelodeon has been on the air since the ’90s, a lot of millennials have plenty of jokes about this strange pairing, especially considering that a fight broke out the last time the Saints and Bears played each other. One person tweeted out that fight with some fitting SpongeBob music.
