This is from Brown's Blog on buffalobills.com. If the NFL s ging to place a team in California, would these statistics give you a clue as to where it should go? I don't see a team coming to CA for a long time.

Here are the top 25 markets that pulled the highest rating shares for the Super Bowl as provided by NBC. Buffalo is right near the top in 4th with a fat 50.4 rating and 68 share. Pathetic that Phoenix isn’t in the top 3.
