Fox Television's broadcast of Super Bowl LI on Sunday night drew a 48.8 overnight rating, according to Nielsen data released by the network, lower than the previous two Super Bowls.

(Snip)

Last year's Super Bowl drew a 49.0 overnight rating, while the Patriots' previous title game appearance in 2015 helped Comcast Corp's NBC television draw a 49.7 rating, the highest overnight rating on record.

Roger Goodell was booed so hard when he presented the trophy, even mic upped, he could barely be heard.

I see a lot about Neilsen still having trouble measuring streaming and underreporting it. And streaming grows each year.
Numbers were probably ‘normal’.

I lived in Boston when Brady took over the team and won his first super bowel. There’s nothing like living in a town when its home team wins the biggest game in all of sports.

After I moved away, I stopped caring all that much for the Pats.

But with their support for Trump last year and the hatred they began receiving from the mutha fakin’ msm, I went all in for the Pats this week.

Great game. Both teams left it all on the field.

Since it sounds like you will not be attending any Super Bowl parades maybe you can offer to help Bill change the name his boat from “ 6 rings “ to “ 7 rings”

The NFL is going to hell...thanks Goodell..you belong in a cell...truth to tell. Thanks also to Copperdick and Lady Gag Gag (although her show wasn't THAT bad).

Nor did I for all those reasons except I like the Pats and I don’t support any company who supports disrespect of our flag.

Also streamed the last minute or so. Glad to see Brady shut up the `rats but the National Fail League is still on my no-go list.

FOX Radio news just said that 112 million watched the Super Bowl, the second highest rated Super Bowl in history.

Number One was the 2015 Super Bowl, which was another Patriot victory.

“lady” gaga did a thinly veiled anti American spin.

She put in the commie songwriter’s “this land” mashed with America the Beautiful.

She also included the homo-propaganda song “born that way”.

Thankfully the useful idiot morning shows gave the brief so it was completely unneeded to watch.

I’ve always thought “This Land” was just a song of good intentions and nationalism as well.

It’s not like they lyrics are “Your land is my land, my land is your land...” haha

I made a point to take each of my 3 kids to DC when they reached about age 10. As we saw the sights, I’d ask “Who owns this museum? Who owns this memorial? etc...”

By the end of the trip, they’d each roll their eyes at the question, responding: “We do dad. We own this.”

So with all that noise about boycott’s the ratings were down a negligible within the margin of error amount. And frankly with it being the best SB ever the boycotters are really the ones that paid the price.

I saw on a guitar forum how they were talking about Goodall being booed. I googled it and a bubble headed broad said he was booed because of deflagate. No mention of Goodall supporting the likes of the 49rs 3 string commie quarterback.

The media. Another major force in America determined to destroy America, right behind public education.
