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.

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...

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

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

you're wrong. NFL doesn't care about matchups that aren't even real. They care about markets. LA doesn't just bring the LA market. LA brings a world market. There may not be a great love of football there, but that's the point, the NFL is trying to create it.

The LA market is a worldwide market. It has cultures from all around the world. The Asian market in LA is bigger than NO by itself. NO is very unique but it has little worldwide influence. As matter of fact, NO/La is mostly stigmatized nationally and internationally. don't be offended, I love and defend NO/La from time to time. Proud I was born in BR.

Ref was not scared. Nobody is that incompetent. Absolutely nobody.
