Early games.

I wonder what Big Al is feelin these days...second consecutive season being on a team not as good as its record.


Big Al is probably glad to have a pay check,..................... after that I doubt it makes much difference to him or in most cases any other player.

If there is a bad snap and you can fall in the ball or whatever and get to try again on 4th, but if you kick the ball it's a turnover on downs
LOL. Coaches have been kicking on 3rd down in this situation for years. But has anyone actually seen a botched snap and a re-kick on 4th?
 
Sorry but Brady moves the needle. The Super Bowls he is in are much higher rates than when he's not. Think the NFL really wants a Cardinal -Titan Super Bowl ?
The league could definitely push the cardinals with the young exciting black QB and young innovative coach narrative. Titans are pretty boring, but so were the SB Ravens. The league will be fine regardless of who gets in. TB and NE are 2 of the top teams in the league right now so if they meet in the SB so be it. I think Dallas or Pitt would bring in better ratings than Brady but i don't know. I really don't think there's is any kind of crazy conspiracies going on

Every time I saw a flag yesterday called on an OL it felt like they were calling 78 for the penalty.

The NFL league office isnt worried about which teams are in the big game. They know that the SB game's ratings will absolutely destroy every other American sport championship event, by a wide margin that isnt close, by any measurable metric. And any other form of television programming need not even be mentioned, any sitcom, documentary, cartoon etc etc that is airing during the same time slot might as well not even exist. For **** sake, Superbowl Sunday is basically an unofficial holiday in this country. Entire industries are built around it. Were you aware that in the Active Duty Military, most units will forego PT on the Monday morning after the Superbowl? It's because they know just about every damn Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Marine (from the lowest enlisted to the highest-ranking officers) is in no shape to being running, doing pushups, situps, etc, since the grand majority of them were drinking all day the day before, likely late into the night while at Superbowl parties and whatnot.

What, you think a Titans-Cardinal SB is gonna be in danger of having to compete for viewers against syndicated re-runs of CSI-Miami??

Use your ******* brain.

I have, but I cant recall the game. I just know I've seen it

You would be very wrong. Check the ratings for Super bowls and you will see a very stark difference in ratings. There is a 23 million viewer difference between the highest and lowest rated games the last 8 years, kinda kills your simplistic everyone watches the game every year, doesnt it junior ? But that would take you using our ******* brain.

23 million, he says!

Newsflash, copernicus: 23 million is a drop in the ******* bucket, you ******* simpleton. The NFL league office isnt conspiring to get Tom in the Superbowl because of 23 million households, ****-for-brains
 
Really dumbass. 23 million people is over 16 percent of the audience. Let me break it down for a dumbfuck like you. The networks use the ratings to set ad rates. If the viewers aren't there the NFL has to pay a buyback. So yes you dumbfuck the NFL sure as hell cares and every person with a brain knows it , this leaving you out .

Nothing you have frothed has a miniscule of evidence to support the NFL conspiring to push one team for their benefit. Not that greed isn't possible you just have no factual evidence to support it taking place. I think cheating exists but on a little smaller scale than the NFL. Now if you want to say covering up wrong doings you would have me. Because there is evidence of that.

Totally hear what you are saying but would like to add


There is no question about the cover ups and some of those cover ups involved HUGE cheating aspects (think spygate & inflategate). It also leads me to believe the NFL manipuates games due to money, very little influence of TV money but very big influence of gambling money.

Great points but to think the NFL doesn't care about Super Bowl ratings is asinine. The NFL is nothing but a huge business and to think they don't care about the game having a 23million viewer swing defies any and all logic.

Of course they care about anything related to coin in their pocket. They can achieve that without cheating. Individual teams maybe not. (See bill-acheat for picture evidence)😁
 
I dont remember ever giving or getting respite in light of my drinking the night before pt. But you may be right...
