Buffalo is a huge football market, simple as that

Wow, never expected to see those numbers from Buffalo for ratings.

 

Your spot on man, very interesting data.

[ProcessTheTrust]

Maybe all the people who vowed to not watch waited till after kickoff to tune in thinking they wouldn't count in the ratings?

The amount of people that give a **** that Reich got a ring as the Eagles offensive coordinator is so small it isn't worth mentioning.

 

Probably even fewer give a P*ts **** that you don't care that Frank Reich got a ring.

And did not watch one snap of game.

Yeah but how many Bills fans were naked?

[Augie]

How do we beat Philly AND Boston? Crazy stuff. I love my WNY peeps! 

[Just Jack]

Philly probably had more groups viewing than individual households hence the lower number.

Well that would be me...

 

i said I wasn't gonna watch it... but I did

 

I had considered not watching but, since I’ve watched every one starting with IV, I decided to keep my streak going.

WE WIN!!!!!

I saw one fewer play in this years super bowl than last years, which was one play. But considering that the Eagles won, I'll watch the replay on the NFL network which I didn't do last year.

 

I went to the casino yesterday but it was easy to tell who scored. When the Eagles scored a loud cheer was heard. When the patriots scored all you heard was boos.

Buffalos ratings are higher because: Who wants to have Another super bowl party where NE might win? Everyone is watching at their home. I’m in the southeast and I would prefer to celebrate or cuss without the the possibility of popping some bandwagon dude  upside the head.

Philly also had a lot of people out greasing lamp posts.

We always set viewing records for NHL games on NBC Sports Network too, which is part of the reason why the Sabres usually get more than their fair share of those games.  

NBC knows their best ratings come from WNYers watching the Sabres.

I wonder how many people who claimed they weren't going to watch are in that number. I'm guessing almost all of them.

I didn't watch, for 1st time in forever, I DVR it.

[Big Turk]

Is it really any surprise? We are always one of the top markets for the NHL playoffs too...and that doesnt even include the people watching the Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts...

 

Basically we are the best sports city in the country.

Or you know... You could just be an adult and get over it. 

[Doc Brown]

Pittsburgh and Seattle also make the list.  Hatred of a team seems to drive up the ratings.
