Super Bowl TV ratings down

[Toruk_Makto]

5K! Thats awesome. Ive been in the same league 20 years and I barley inched the tight wads up to 100.00. I always dream of finding the "Rounders" scenerio where I find a league full of lawyers and what not that arent all that great at fantasy lol.

My first two years won it and was runner up. Been a rough last 3 years. Ha.

also sick of getting shafted by the circus clowns they call refs every single year.

feel you brah

Not surprising since Goodell's NFL is fixed garbage anyway.

It certainly feels that way. They tried pretty hard to get Aaron Rodgers there but they **** the bed in Atlanta.

I hate to spoil the party, but...

Super Bowl LI gives the New England Patriots another ring — and ranks as the second-most-watched of all time.

Because fantasy football players don't care about actual games.

Whoa since when?

Conflicting sources. I've seen the same thing Zordon posted as well as yours. Not sure if they are analyzing something differently. Either way ratings are down

Streamed it.

If I watch nowadays, I stream. Until the NFL shows they care about the product they're selling by hiring full-time officials at the least, I won't be purchasing anything.

... why, and how, would you pay to watch the Superbowl at home?

when the cowboys were last in the super bowl (1995) the US population was 266 million. today, it's near 320 million. more eyes doesn't necessarily mean higher ratings.

We aren't allowed to talk about the reasons most people feel the ratings are down

First rule of Fight Club is .......We don't talk about Fight Club

 

[JoeKing]

Ratings would have been up with the Cowboys participating. The league should advise it's refs to stop getting in our way.

bunch of idiots missed a hell of a game, they should have watched

 

[landryscorner]

Well I helped didn't watch it had to replace the cabin air filter in my jeep somehow it took more than 4 hours.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Dallas vs NE would have been the biggest ratings win ever

Because fantasy football players don't care about actual games.

The political rhetoric being spewed by the players, Hollywood, the networks, and the NFL is beginning to take its toll on a huge portion of the fan base. Also the casual fan is being turned away by the every day drama of players.

Someone is an idiot if they didn't care about the Superbowl or had something better to do?

 

[cowboyblue22]

there is not a lot o f difference between the wwe and the nfl

Do you watch the Oscars or Spelling Bee or World Cup or Pulitzer Awards or Tonys or World Series...etc

Billions couldn't care less

My guess is that ratings were down at the beginning of the game and especially as the blowout continued. Then, into the fourth quarter as the Pats started coming back, everyone posted/texted about it and probably more than half the country tuned in.
