You just know that the NFL and all of the Super Bowl advertisers are praying that New England and Green Bay win today.

I don’t think they’d mind a NE-NYG Super Bowl either.

NY is a better ad market than GB

I think people would watch the Giants and the Chargers...

Hmmm. The NFL and advertisers want a particular matchup?

I don’t think they need to “pray” about it. After all, who pays for the refs? The NFL and advertisers have made sure these teams have gotten this far . . . what makes anyone think the plan stops in the conference championship games.

People . . . do you really think the NFL would do focus groups and evaluate marketing data unless they were going to use the findings?

Like the Romans had their “games,” the businesses known as the NFL and the NBA want to give people what “they” want. Leagues built on marketing.

I really hope we are not looking at a NY v NE Super Bowl. Granted, seeing the Patriots kill the Giants would be fine by me but I think most football fans would be bored by such a game. Would love to see GB pull this off.
