Oh no, that’s bad news. I guess they’re in danger of being cancelled. And I was assured that they rigged the Super Bowl matchup for high ratings...

Patriots fatigue. Also, Maroon 5? Seriously?

"The Patriots’ 13-3 victory over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII was the lowest-rated title game in a decade. The low-scoring affair pulled in a 44.9 rating, according to the Sports Business Journal. It’s the worst rating since Super Bowl XLIII, in which the Steelers beat the Cardinals.
The Boston market had a 57.4 rating, while Los Angeles’ 44.6 was even lower than the national average. The latter number is as representative of the quality of the game as much as the lukewarm interest the city has in the team.
The numbers were particularly bad in New Orleans, where the rating was 26.1, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. That was the lowest rating for any major market and the lowest in the history of the city. It is a direct response to the Saints’ controversial defeat in the NFC Championship game."nypost.com/2019/02/04/super-bowl-ratings-2019-patriots-rams-lowest-in-a-decade/

Not the least bit surprising. It was one of the most boring Super Bowls ever.

That’s why I don’t get why the league had such a hard on to get a team in LA. Now they have two and no one gives a shit about either of them.

Good. Everybody remembers the winners. Nobody remembers the losers. I have confidence that of all markets, the LA market was the worst pro football market in America for this to happen to. They didn't support the NFL before. The residents of Los Angeles are most likely to jump on the bandwagon of "the NFL has lost all integrity. I didn't support the Rams before. Why would I support them now?" I drive for Uber and Lyft in New Orleans. Many residents of Los Angeles have second homes here. They have been saying the last two weeks "The Saints were robbed. The NFL has no integrity. And I never supported the Rams or the NFL before anyway." |

LA sports talk was talking more about Anthony Davis than the Super Bowl. The NFL is determined inspite of history to have a team in LA. So much so they paid the refs to cheat to ensure the Rams made into the Super Bowl. I don't know why the NFL thinks things will be different this time. I guess that new stadium will host more than just football games. If the Rams leave again, Los Angeles will have The Coliseum, Anaheim and this new stadium with no pro team. |

But I would be more glad if the NFL didn't rig games, no matter who won. And just think, if they didn't rig the games they might have had a higher rating. So rigging the game was kinda counter- productive for them. Some would say unnecessary. Others might go one step farther and say they don't need to rig it, because 100 million people will watch, even if they hate the teams and the score is 13-3. But who could have known that last one? |

I agree. Objective football fans want to see a close game between two equally matched teams. They like the drama and excitement of a game that goes down to the last minute. But they want it decided by good or bad play --- by the teams. Not decided by cheating referees. Fans feel cheated. They watch a good game for 58 minutes of regulation. And in the last 2 minutes, the refs cheat for the latest financial investment of the league. |

I mean, I knew 100 million would watch regardless of who played, but I've often been called smarter than the fools who run the NFL. I mean, a billion dollar empire could come crashing down due to one upset referee who wanted to make millions with a tell all book. Again, I realize that, but clearly the NFL folks don't. And you'd be surprised how many people just don't. I'm actually in the midst of an online conversation with someone like that. |

I wouldn't be happy spending millions either, if nobody was watching. 100 million watched the superbowl, and about 15 million watch each game on average, with many above 20 million. But that's where we agree. They need to STOP fixing games immediately by having refs involved. That's just way too many loose lips, and how many people would watch if one of them came out with this truth??? |

But wait, wasn't there a league wide conspiracy to get the Rams in because... ratings? In fairness it's a continuation from last year when they fell about 8 million on the year before. It's not neccesarily a bad thing as 110-115 million was never going to be sustainable.

Millions already suspect the games of being rigged. Viewership was down this year because of what happened in the NFC Championship. Whether the ref went rogue. Or he was "influenced" by the league doesn't matter to many. The results were corrupted. That alone turns people off. |
