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.

Buffalo takes 4th in Super Bowl ratings
By Chris Brown - Posted February 3rd, 2009
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.

One writer from the Baltimore Sun suspects that Norfolk ranked so high because Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is from the area.

1. Pittsburgh 53.6/79
2. Norfolk 52.6/72
3. Jacksonville 50.6/71
4. Buffalo 50.4/68
5. Richmond 49.3/67
6. Tampa 49.2/70
7. Ft. Myers 48.1/68
8. Cleveland 47.7/69
9. Phoenix 47.5/80
10. Indianapolis 47.4/65
11. Nashville 47.2/66
12. Washington D.C. 46.7/70
13. Columbus 46.5/67
14. Orlando 46.4/66
15. Memphis 46.3/63
16. Philadelphia 46.2/65
17. New Orleans 45.7/63
18. Knoxville 45.2/58

lots of arguments right here for regionalizing the Bills and keeping them in the area...

The Bills aren't going anywhere and California isn't getting another professional sports team for a while.

Maybe these numbers just indicate the places where the people have nothing better to do on a Sunday in the winter except watch TV.

Using your logic, they might have "something better to do" on any given Sunday.
