News: PFT: Super Bowl rating hits a 10-year low

[ABQCOWBOY]

Would have been the most watched ever if you replace the Rams with the Cowboys.

This pisses me off every time I put my shoes on in the morning.

You wear shoes? Come on........

Corn syrup effects the brain and makes one stupid, so yeah, but drink on... that's for another site.

Maybe Goodell will rig the Cowboys in the SB next year to save the league.

Nice deduction. I didn't say I liked corn syrup...LOL I said the commercial was dumb...were you on the Bud Light commercial creation team? If so...horrible job. Sorry.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Did this game even cover the Vegas odds?

People are tired of the Patriots and most of LA hates the lambs for leaving

I’m ready for Rolland Garros, French Open! Tennis for me is a big draw, like it or not. Then Wimbledon. And when the US Open begins, its time for the NFL to start once again.

NASCAR is okay, unless it’s Toyota always winning. Baseball sucks. March Madness is semi-fun, and the NBA playoffs is mediocre at best.

Oh yeah, fug hockey unless the Stars are decent and making a run.

M....T....J....

So you think seeing the Chiefs defense being torched in the entire game would be entertaining?

Yep because their offense would do some torching as well.

 

[Hailmary]

Rams don't have a big following.

And only Patriot fans are not sick and tired of the Patriots in the Super Bowl. It's like being forced to eat stale bread day after day after day.

Mmmmmm......... croutons....

 

[JayFord]

Its a direct response to NO getting screwed out of their SB appearance, and viewer fatigue with NE.

The Rams should have never gone to the SB

This

The NFL deserved it.....I’ve never seen a more blatant PI in my life

 

[kskboys]

Maybe this will wake the NFL up as to whatever crapp they've been up to. First the NE/JAX fiasco last year to PUT NE in, and then the most horrific non call in NFL history.

The bottom line is you can only get by w/ so much crapp before people start turning away. Apologize and straighten up your crooked bum crapp, NFL owners.

I didn't watch most of the game and only watched the last 10 minutes or so of the 4th quarter. I think the ratings would have been higher, if it was someone else besides the Patriots. And had a team go, whose fanbase is hungry for a Superbowl appearance. Goodell overplayed his hand, if he put everything on trying to grow a market in LA. As I said, from a general NFL fan stand point. If my team couldn't go, then a match up between the Chiefs vs Saints would have been better.

Some say that Brady vs Brees would have been good. But, that's still the the Patriots in the Superbowl. And I'm ready to see someone else represent the AFC for once.

Turns out, actions have consequences.

 

[Fletch]

M....T....J....

Que? Lol

 

[ESisback]

Well damn, now I wish I'd watched.

I didn’t watch either, but I saw the score and stats, read countless negative online reviews, talked to many friends and relatives, etc. Easy to connect the dots, PLUS, Maroon 5 sucks out loud...

 

[Nightman]

Did this game even cover the Vegas odds?

Vegas got destroyed........95% of the money was bet on NE giving -2.5.... they made some back on the over/under

 

[TexasHillbilly]

It was a boring game...

I don't know, I like to see a good defensive game. NE was able to overcome and LA was not.

 

[Nightman]

Super Bowl rating hits a 10-year low

Yes, more people watch exciting football games. And, yes, fewer people watch boring ones. That rule was proven yet again on Sunday night, when the Rams -- 11 weeks after a Week 11 54-point exp...

and those we can't mention never came back....just like they said

 

[pjtoadie]

I'm a francophile so I prefer the French Open. Will Djokovic be able to win his fourth straight grand slam?

Djokovic will have to beat the French Open King Nadal lol.

 

[cern]

I thought it was a great game. defensive war in the beginning. but towards the end, the greatest coach in the nfl and the greatest qb ever did what we've come to expect.

 

[Nightman]

It really doesn't matter, CBS still got 5M per ad and they do not have to guarantee points for this game so no make goods. It is down but still the largest audience of the year in any live event.

Maybe this will put the fixed game conspiracy to rest for a while because every owner except Kraft wanted a KC-LA rematch, which would have set the record.

Of course it matters.... the Ad revenue was down..... first time rates didn't go up for commercials

CBS paid billions for rights fees based on rising ratings, not declining ratings..... so it matters

 

[Cowpolk]

I liked the look on Krafts face when he realized Brady just slipped him some tongue he tried to wipe it off but could not
