Nobody wants to see Brady win again and gloat. Send Romo to the Bills and have a Cowboys / Bills Super Bowl next year with all new stories and headlines.

NE bounce back. Everyone outside of Boston is tired of them.

Ratings for the league overall are down this year. A 1% drop isn't bad considering.

Ever means in the last 4 years.

Ever means in the last 4 years.

4 years does seem like forever these days.

I guess that calculation is according to College Time (CT).

As with anything else, some statistics don't tell the whole story. To "add" to the statistics a little bit, we've got the following:

– With a total audience of 172 million, more people watched last night’s Super Bowl on FOX than any other program in U.S. television history
– Super Bowl LI recorded an average audience of 113.7 million viewers on FOX, FOX Sports GO & NFL Digital and FOX Deportes, which is tied for the second most-watched Super Bowl of all time across all platforms (vs. 115.8 million in 2015)
– With 111.3 million average viewers on the FOX broadcast network, Super Bowl LI is the fifth most-watched program in television history and FOX’s second most-watched event ever behind Super Bowl XLVIII (vs. 112.2 million)
– Sunday’s game, in which New England overcame the largest deficit in Super Bowl history, saw the largest in-game audience growth on record, as the average audience swelled 29 percent from kickoff through overtime in the 10:00-10:15 PM ET window
– Super Bowl LI is the most live-streamed Super Bowl ever, delivering an average minute audience of 1.72 million, up +23% over last year (vs. 1.4 million) and up +224% over FOX’s last Super Bowl stream in 2014 (vs. 530,523).

4 years does seem like forever these days.

Only in politics.

How did they know how many people were at my party?

[Turf]

I don't know how they account for all the cord cutters and people that stream illegally or even legally. The NFL has a problem because without being able to prove viewership that will contain advertising they're going to have an increasing problem generating advertising revenue which is carrying this league.
