That big markets plays a big favor on who the League wants to see. Saints vs Chiefs super bowl don't sound like a sexy matchup to them with CFB flaws and all its still better any pro sports period

IDK, the Saints definitely got jobbed, but the ideal matchup for the NFL would have been Brees v Brady. The Rams being in the super bowl isn't a benefit to ratings, regardless of LA's market. No one in LA cares about football. Two HOF QBs facing each other would draw a lot more eyes worldwide than anything else. I think we just had a situation where a referee was scared to make a call, bottom line.

Bottom line, the refs control the games. A flag here, another there, well you can guess the rest. Of course, an obvious no call is just as impactful as the ones that are called. The NFL's been rigged for decades.

And you don't think giving the Rams a Super Bowl would help change that? Even if the majority would be just bandwagon fans? That new stadium isn't going to pay for itself...

I don't buy it
The superbowl is going to be a nationally watched event no matter who is in it
That conspiracy might hold up better if we were just talking about getting to the conference title game

Not enough to go to the games or watch on TV every week. But they'll watch the local team in the SB.

As evidenced by the highest rated Super Bowl of all time having a team from the #26 TV market (Baltimore) and all those times that the league wanted to capture the Pittsburgh (#24), Buffalo (#52) and Green Bay (#67) markets.

With that team every home game in LA will be sold out.

Kind of like how the Saints only Super Bowl win was right after Katrina.... The city needed an economic boost and the people needed something to get behind.
The NFL has been rigged for years.

I don't know what he thinks, but since you brought him up completely out of the blue, the rest of us think he's living in your head rent-free.

Wrong Rams games have brought a lot of money this year.

No, I don't.

No, it won't. And bringing not one but two NFL teams to LA was idiotic. LA has failed every time they've had a team, and they've had teams play in the Super Bowl in the past. Why do you think these Rams will be any different?

The Super Bowl draws a worldwide audience. More eyes worldwide would tune in to see a Brees/Brady matchup than a Rams/Patriots matchup.

Really going out on a limb to suggest the NFL predetermined these things. Color me shocked. It’s been like this for years and years. By far the best soap opera going. Even better than wrestling and the Young and the Restless. Some people still believe the results are real, which makes it so much better.
My post from a month ago because I got an early copy of the script for this week.

Right. Brady and Rodgers have down years. Guess what. Brady makes a miraculous comeback in the playoffs. They set Mahomes up to be a future star with great stats early, but he fades late and Brees finally gets his MVP. They are still not sure whether the best story is the Rams, Bears or Saints winning it, but I’d guess the Rams given lack of attendance (although that’s a sham because they are only worried about ratings).. Then the lowly Raiders, well, they make a miraculous turnaround next year. And Rodgers fires his manager, uh “coach”, and next year he starts winning again. Pittsburgh wins without the best player in the league in a holdout, then an up and comer RB fills his place while the best in the game turns down 15 million, AND, to top it off, a tight end comes in to run for 142 againt one of the greatest defensive minded coaches ever. All coincidence. Ha!
