Everytime I see your username I think it says Lufkin2006, I always thought you were from Lufkin Texas lol

Nope. Never heard of Lufkin?

Ratings are all estimated, they dont know how many people really watch any show or game.

Yeah those Arlington Jonesboys ! I tell you they're running this organization into the ground ! Grumble grumble Fart burp !

Silly boys, you know who you are

A Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl appearance this year would blow the current record for most watched NFL game in history clear out of the water.

‘When in doubt - give ‘em Dallas.’

Don’t remember who said it long ago - but it is true to this day.

 

[john van brocklin]

No surprise at all.......in fact, I would argue the more we win from here on out, more viewership records will be broken.

America loves the Dallas Cowboys.........fact

America's Team!!!!

It's both the Dallas Cowboys and Tom Brady.
Brady is like LeBron.
He commands attention like no other player does.

 

[Pass2Run]

So the 'spiracy now is there's no 'spiracy because Dallas is ratings kings and there may or may not be a pro-Dallas 'spiracy? Sorry, just need to adjust my scorecard.

I mean, if you're speaking in terms of revenue...I mean, hypothetically speaking, of course. I'm not saying there is isn't. But it is a business.
The fact is it was Tom Brady and we are 'Merica's Team are apparently why. There's a lot of history there on both sides. In fact, there probably isn't a bigger matchup, outside of Brady vs. Cowboys.

Maybe 9ers vs Cowboys?

Who knows.

This should not be a shock lol

Yeah I always wonder about that. When Dish Network tapes all Prime Time shows automatically to my DVR does that count as a viewing?

Niners /Cowboys and Steelers /Cowboys because of the history

Yes. This.
I promise you the FoxSports execs are salivating over the prospect of a Dallas- Chiefs or Dallas- Buffalo SB 3 weeks from Sunday. Those match ups with a Dallas, combined with the high ratings with these playoff games and a glitzy Rihanna show will do what Bleed Silverand Blue says above^

 

[atlantacowboy]

Between Brady and the Cowboys........ it was a can't miss game.

 

[Motorola]

NO shocker....America loves the Cowboys...and America hates the Cowboys. NO in between.

And it has been that way for a long time = half a century.

 

[stiletto]

Yep, people love/love to hate the Cowboys plus you had the Tampa Bay fans plus the Tom Brady/NE crowd that still love Brady. So it was a triple puncher as far as a playoff game goes. Definitely not surprised.

well equally loves and hates that's why its 100% being paid attention, both sides hoping it goes their way,. saw a FB thread going on about the their NFCE teams if their team loses would they pull for another East team, they all said they support each other,

if its NOT THE Cowboys LOL

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Yep, people love/love to hate the Cowboys

I get that people love to hate the Cowboys, I love to hate the Eagles myself, but rarely does that drive me to turn on their games.

I guess I will never understand the grip that Dallas has on the imaginations of NFL fans.

It's probably overstated but I think the Monday night game was a combination of things, everyone also still wants to see Brady magic even if they hate him. So there were just a lot of good draws I guess. 30 million is a big number for a Monday night game.

It would be great if Stephen A. Smith read this thread. Smith has repeatedly claimed that he does not hate the Dallas Cowboys but hates Dallas fans.

Well, television viewership is largely made up of a team's fanbase. I am certain a more than significant portion of the Dallas/Tampa Bay viewership was Dallas fans.

Would Smith, by extension, hate these numbers as well? I hope so. Hope it would give him an ulcer.
