"A TV Ratings Dud"

When I wrote two nights ago that I could care less about this year's Super Bowl, I didn't realize how many other people felt the same way.  Based on overnight TV Ratings for this year's version of the NFL championship, it was not well watched.

James Brady and Adam Stites of SB Nation have a well written article pointing out why this year's ratings were so lame.

And the writers at SB Nation were also critical of the hyped up halftime show with Maroon 5.

Finally, to be honest, I watched much of the second half of the game at a party at the home of friends.  The party was great but the game sucked.  The food and drink at the party overcame the boring football game the National Football League inflicted on us.  Hopefully, a couple of different teams will make it to Super Bowl 54.

Another Who Cares Sporting Event

It's less than 24 hours to the Super Bowl and I could care less who wins.  For that matter I could care less about the National Football League and its hype of this year's championship game between the Patriots and Rams.

I was a Rams fan up until three years ago but the team's owner Stan Kroenke decided to move the team back to Los Angeles.  Cheering for the Rams is now like cheering for a girl that dumped me.  And the Patriots, are the biggest of the cheaters in the NFL.  (Well, there are most likely many cheaters in the NFL, but they have been smart enough not to get caught).  I cite Spygate in 2002 and Deflategate in 2015.

So, it comes down to the "Dumpers" or the "Cheaters".  As I said in October when a different Los Angeles team played a different Boston team its another "Who Cares" championship.  The best I can hope for is both teams play badly and beat the crap out of each other.
