    I think that away from the I-95 corridor, no one gives a shit about this SB.

    Ratings wise, I think this was the best possible outcome for the NFL
    I don't know. I think due to Patriots-fatigue, the Steelers might have made a bigger rating than New England. And as for the NFC, I think if the NFL was able to choose, they'd want the Saints over the Eagles or Vikings.

    I mean really, a Browns/Lions Super Bowl would probably draw a higher rating than a Warriors/Cavs game 7. But as far as Super Bowls go, and using only the teams in this year's playoffs, I think Saints vs. Patriots/Steelers would produce the best rating


    I'm not sure there is a Patriots fatigue. They're kind of like the Yankees. Most either love them or hate them. So I think more people will tune in to root against them, than will root for the Steelers. Plus Boston is a much bigger market than Pittsburgh.


    And Eagles/Saints---no contest. Philadelphia is the 4th largest tv market, New Orleans is 50th...4 spots above Scranton Wilkes-Barre.


    I agree with the Yankees comparison and the tune into cheer against them notion. 

    I don't dispute that Philadelphia is a much larger TV market than New Orleans. But I'm talking about nationwide viewing habits. People in like fly-over states would probably gravitate towards a big star like Brees or Rodgers in a game like this.

    And really......and look......I know you love the Eagles and you live in the bubble so don't get worked up about this statement.....but I think people on a national level don't give a shit about the Eagles. In terms of historical franchise relevance, they have to be a distant 4th in their division right? A win this Sunday could go a long way to changing that. But I just think Joe Schmo from Idaho, when forced to watch NFC East primetime games like we all are, would be least interested in watching the Eagles. Again, that's historically speaking because certainly the Eagles were more fun to watch than any of the other NFC East teams this year.

    Yeah but why would someone's viewing habit in a fly over state count differently than someone on the east coast? There are more people, and thus, more televisions on the east coast. In terms of overall ratings, which is what I initially talked about, I don't think there's any doubt that a Boston vs Philadelphia super bowl would generate a higher number than Pittsburgh vs New Orleans. I actually don't think it would be close.


    And I don't take offense to what you said....but the same can be said of most teams. Who cares about the Saints in Philadelphia? Who cares about the Falcons in Los Angeles? Point is, this matchup is probably the best case scenario in terms of overall tv ratings.

    Also--this flies in the face of people not giving a shit about the Eagles nationwide. According to Nielsen, they're the 5th most popular team in the league

    http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/news/2016/whos-americas-nfl-team-nielsens-media-exposure-rankings-detail-the-top-franchise.html


    So, on top of what I mentioned earlier, this SB has two of the five most popular teams in the league going at it.

    Ugh....admittedly, I guess I just personally would rather see Pittsburgh and New Orleans. This time next week I'm going to be surrounded by either the super-happy Eagles fans, or super-angry Eagles fans....and God help me either way. 

    And to your "who cares about the Saints in Philly, who cares about the Falcons in LA?" point.  I guess I'm trying to refer to what gamblers call the "public" teams. The teams with real national followings: Dallas, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, San Francisco and to a lesser extent, Oakland, Washington, and Miami. Basically, teams that had a lot of success when the NFL was first becoming big on television in the 70's and 80's, and people jumped on their bandwagons.

    Look at my prior post. Eagles are 5th most popular team in the league

  • I don't know where to find a list displaying estimated numbers of fans for teams.  Did find a few things that point to there being more national interest in the Iggles than you think there is.

    Conversely I don't think many people give a darn about the Aints.  Most of their history was as a joke team that hadnt won a playoff game...and then that had won a single playoff game.  Brees changed that and made everyone forget that they were so bad.
    Now...the Lions are probably the worst team in modern NFL history.  Don't they still only have 1 playoff victory in the SB era?

    And I don't take offense to what you said....but the same can be said of most teams. Who cares about the Saints in Philadelphia? Who cares about the Falcons in Los Angeles? Point is, this matchup is probably the best case scenario in terms of overall tv ratings.

    Ugh....admittedly, I guess I just personally would rather see Pittsburgh and New Orleans. This time next week I'm going to be surrounded by either the super-happy Eagles fans, or super-angry Eagles fans....and God help me either way. 

    And to your "who cares about the Saints in Philly, who cares about the Falcons in LA?" point.  I guess I'm trying to refer to what gamblers call the "public" teams. The teams with real national followings: Dallas, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, San Francisco and to a lesser extent, Oakland, Washington, and Miami. Basically, teams that had a lot of success when the NFL was first becoming big on television in the 70's and 80's, and people jumped on their bandwagons.

    Look at my prior post. Eagles are 5th most popular team in the league

    That's pretty shocking. I'll take your word for it.

    Or you can take the word of a company whose job it is to measure such things...



    I just meant I wasn't going to go back through the thread looking for the post you were talking about. I assumed you were citing something like this.

    Bomani Jones (ESPN, juggler!) had a good line....eagles need to win so that eagles fans can quit acting like they act (tortured) and patriots fans can quit acting like they act (see: halifax2themax).

  • Impressive first half.

    I like the Eagles approach. The Pats look stale.

    Should be a good second half.

    Why was that touchdown reviewed?
    Every scoring play is reviewed but there's been a lot of touchdowns overturned because it wasn't ruled a catch. A lot of controversial calls over the catch rule.
