If YOU were the NFL brass faced with sagging ratings, purely from a business standpoint, who would YOU want in the Super Bowl, New Orleans or the L.A. Rams?

The ratings aren't sagging. Quite the contrary they went up like 6 to 7% this year. Which is like the second highest they've been overall. Everyone wants to point out the ratings drop of last year but it isn't that people aren't watching football they aren't watching TV at least legally. A lot of streaming goes on which doesn't go into ratings. I should say illegal streaming. Even though ratings were down last year 27 of the top 50 watched television shows or programs, whatever you want to call them, were NFL football games. Which is right on par with every other year just over 50% of the most watched shows are football games every year. So though they dip last year so did the rest of television and they stayed right on par with where they've always been.

Hardly makes the Superbowl worth watching when you know one team does not belong there. It's the Shambowl.
I'm still trying to figure out what the Rams did to deserve the hate from people.
A defender realized that a receiver was totally uncovered, so he ran over there to try and stop a sure TD. He got there too early. He knows he did. Was he supposed to put up his hand and call a foul on himself?
Before the game was played, I felt either team deserved to go to the Super Bowl. During the play of the game, it looked like either team deserved to go. And now, after the game, I can still say that either team deserved to go to the SB. The two teams played hard and well. It's just that the ref's phucked one team out of a much better chance to have won the game. Sucks for the Saints and their fans. But it's not the Rams fault.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
for me - it's that they moved. twice. and that non call ranks way high on the NFL "there is no freaking way they didn't see that. they just refused to call it to make the commish happy" kind of a play, imho.
Seriously - does ANYBODY think that if it were the squealers driving to win the game, and they hit antonio brown that freaking early and flagrantly, that it would be a no call?

People in LA don't care about the Rams or the Chargers, case in point the ratings were higher for the Patriots/Chiefs game than for the Rams/Saints game last weekend in LA. Chargers are playing in a 27,000 seat stadium and every game has more fans of the visiting team than the Chargers. I live out here and you'd think there would be all sorts of Super Bowl talk and buzz with the Rams in the game and its just not like that. No one cares.
Wow! Thanks Mark! That's what is so batshitt nuts about this Commish cramming LA market size down the esophagi. Roger needs 2 teams because of market size when that same market size didn't give the first shitt about the last Rams team that frequented post seasons let alone 2 different NFL teams? Needs assessment anyone?
Roger has HIS 2 playoff teams in LA today and one of them needs to frequent SBs or he's going to be dangerously close to sending one of them back to St Louis and the other one elsewhere. The Chargers deserve something better than half a seating capacity of 27,000 fans interested in them. That's been too good of franchise with Dan Fouts, Stan Humphries, Drew Brees, and Phillip Rivers to warrant that lack of interest. Here's a concept, how about finding out why a team that frequents NFL post seasons can't keep locals interested in viewing or attending games. When I had season tickets to Vandy games before Franklin showed up and gave them back to back 9 wins seasons - I thought it was pathetic an SEC Team with a seating capacity of 35,000 couldn't muster up at least 17,000 home fans. Ready for this? Season tickets only cost $192 for me and my wife. The Chargers aren't even beating that right now; but Roger got the big TV contracts so there's an inevitable blind eye or 32 to the situation...

You blame it on Roger Goodelle but I don’t think this is Roger is doing this has Jerry Jones fingerprints all over it. Jones is the greedy bastard not Roger

I’m still mad about that call.... I wasted 4 hours of my life watching that game for it to end like that.
Ref said, “I thought ball was tipped” ya ok..... every other PI that gets called with a questionable tip gets the flag thrown, refs huddle up and the one closest to the line says the ball was tipped and they pick the flag up....
Honestly if that would have happened to the Browns I’m not sure I could ever watch another NFL game.
Keep reading all these articles about how happy bookies are that an LA team made the super bowl because betting on the game has tripled because of it....
The biggest farce of the whole thing is the NFL fined the CB for the illegal hit and took his money.....what a freaking joke.
I can’t believe I’m hoping the Pats waste the Rams and it’s an awful blowout game. I seriously have to root for the Pats? Screw you NFL.

I don't blame the Rams at all. But I also know they do not belong there because that one playcall changed the obvious win into a loss. The wrong team is in the Superbowl. But even so I am tired of NE winning so I hope it goes the Rams way. It just is not one I look forward to seeing, but probably will anyway.

that one playcall changed the obvious win into a loss.
But we don't know that with 100% certainty. - They next might have called a bubble screen left for a loss of 7 yards.

Three times. For if you can include in the move from LA to Anaheim

I have a question and can't find any history thread. My apologies in advance. Does anyone remember Bernie Kosar winning the Quarterback challenge. Beating Joe Montana and Dan Marino. If so how come I can't find anything about it? Help stop the argument between to old friends.

Something like that sounds familiar....but you would have to research it. I assume you mean at one of the Pro Bowl competitions.

...I remember that Couch stunk in HIS QB challenge. (him and the other QB's drafted as I recall)

I vaguely remember it & it seems it was in one of his 1st 2-3 years. Either he won it or won the accuracy part.

I think your right. Soon as I read your post I had a flash back. Also it would of been a little later then you were thinking. Bernie was a rookie in 85 and I was thinking it was 91 or 92. The only thing I could find on it was a list of winners. First QB challenge was 90 and Marino won 91 and 92. Bernie wasn't on the list. Can't believe there was no video. I owe my friend an apology plus never hear the end of it ?
