Thank you! I'll be here all eternity!

The NFL has been pissing off their bread and butter (Midwest and the South i.e. the blue collar regions) lately. Not exactly a winning formula.

L.A. market had lower TV rating for Super Bowl than country as a whole
But, highest LA rating since 1996. Relative success NFL?

LMAO

That's wonderful...

Why are you trying to make me piss my pants laughing in the early AM sir? :)

USC and Lakers town. Uh oh, will the insecure NFL move them again ?

They're going to have to give tickets away to fill that new stadium. LMAO

That's going to be funny... Especially in the years where they struggle.. The good news, like NOLA's dome, they can always use it for other things.

I completely agree, I cannot stand those idiotic commercials. However, killing off the Bud Knight by having his head crushed because it turns out that they were doing a dual promo with Game of Thrones was a very big exception in my book. I was standing there watching it unfold and wondering just where in the hell are they going with this commercial and then the dragon appears and the GoT theme starts playing and it was like "Oh, shit! They actually killed him off!"

Like housing the homeless. :D

I think they prefer to call them micro-housing, but yes... And with SoCal's weather; fires, mud slides, quakes, and typhus winds, they might need it..

The promotional opportunities are practically endless.

But wait, once the homeless have entered the building, deem it to be their home, will the football team(s) be able to play if the field is full of tents they can't move because of the rights of others?

"It’s just about unheard of, not only for the Super Bowl but for any sporting event, for the market of one of the two teams in the game to get a lower rating than the country as a whole."

"The NFL badly wants to see interest in football increase in Los Angeles, because it’s the second-biggest market in America. Los Angeles has 5.3 million television households while St. Louis has 1.2 million."

Looks like Goodell's master plan of building a $25 billion annual empire isn't going exactly as planned....lowest rated SB in a decade.

That's what they get for thinking everyone was too stupid to notice the outright rigging of games...especially the Chargers/Rams/Patriots.

Now he has brought serious attention to the officiating...they arent going to be able to fix games like they have in the past. Even the most homer of fans is starting to realize there is something off.

What makes you think the officials won't still be able to influence outcomes of games? As long as there are fans who are committed to defending the league's officials for ticky-tack calls, swallowed whistles, or making calls when situationally convenient for the league's desired outcome (but not when it's not [conveniently swallowing their whistle]), why would you think Roger can't keep doing it?
