- Nielsen never bothered with the preliminary numbers for Sunday night - and just went to finals.
- The key two numbers: The rating was 26.48, down about 9% from last year. The total viewership: 91,630,000.
- But almost 9 out of 10 households who had televisions on at all Sunday night were watching the Super Bowl.
- That's the worst-watched Super Bowl since Super Bowl XL -- 15 years ago. And for reference, both Super Bowls XX and XXX beat it.
- .. and the lowest rated Super Bowl... SINCE SUPER BOWL FOUR.
This was a case of the NFL throwing in the towel and deciding to take this Super Bowl and chuck it in the dumpster, especially after the Brett Reid DUI...
- ... for which he has now been officially put on leave (ESPN reports) or suspended (SI reports) by the Chiefs.
A lot of White Right hay is probably going to be made on some of these numbers. It became clear early on in the game that the NFL was no longer even going to make the game close. They ceased bothering quite early in the process -- maybe shortening Mahomes' career in the process!!
And here are the results...
- And 2020 just wants to keep 2020ing, even a month and almost a half into 2021: Mary Wilson of the Supremes and Marty Schottenheimer are added to the list.
- As, a few days ago, was a second member of Congress to COVID...
- In an interesting decision (which I do think is legal), Mark Cuban, realizing players DO have to stand for the National Anthem in the NBA (and have for many many years), decided to have the Mavericks become the first NBA team to no longer play the National Anthem before their games.
What's sad is the sheep still want to believe that this SB is legit, and a lot of them are praising Brady and calling him GOAT. The ignorance is sad.
ReplyDeleteWorse, that it now appears some believe that they will use Tom Brady as the catalyst to get the White Right back interested in the NFL.
DeleteI would think the numbers would indicate otherise, however...
