I just thought the game wasn't really exciting at all. My parents thought it was boring, but my cousin thought it was exciting for some reason.

Tom Brady did say that the victory parade would be Tuesday though.

Funny ya mention that that your parents thought the game was boring, my dad has watched every Super Bowl game since the first one and this is the first time in 54 games that he actually fell asleep watching it.

Well I was sour on the game after the referees basically helped both teams get there on Championship Sunday and wouldn't you know it, both offenses played like they didn't belong there (Julian Edelman being the exception).

New Orleans boycotted watching the game. And apparently have done so successfully.

Mission accomplished, Who Dat Nation.

New Orleans Saints fans wanted their voices to be heard after the blown call two weeks ago that cost their team a trip to Super Bowl LIII -- and after the NFL exhibited an apparent lack of interest in doing or saying anything meaningful to fix it. So, in a joyous, only-in-New-Orleans protest, locals took part in a citywide no-watch party on Sunday (Feb. 3), turning off their TVs en masse, tuning out from a game many saw as tainted, and partying in the streets instead.

More importantly, they delivered a loud-and-clear, black-and-gold message to the NFL in the form of the TV ratings for the big game, which has become known in New Orleans as Super Bowl LIE.

Not only was it the least-watched Super Bowl in recent history from a local standpoint, but it was also one of the least-watched Super Bowls nationally in a decade.

Overnight Nielsen ratings showed that the game, broadcast on CBS, earned a 26.2 rating in New Orleans. That means just more than a quarter of TV-equipped households in the metro region were tuned in to the game.

(Each ratings point represents 6,331 New Orleans households, approximately 1 percent of the local viewing market.)




A Who Dat history: The story behind the Saints' rallying cry

Part of a tricentennial series looking back at the people and events that made New Orleans.



That's a dramatic decline from traditional viewership numbers of the Super Bowl among New Orleans viewers. It's also a new low-water mark for the game in what is a football-crazed city.

Last year’s Super Bowl, between the Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, for example, earned a 53 rating in New Orleans -- more than double this year’s local audience. The 2010 Super Bowl in which the Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts earned a 56.3 rating. Even regular-season games featuring the Saints routinely scored more than a 50 local rating during the 2018 campaign.

The only recent Super Bowl on record that earned less than a 50 rating in New Orleans was in 2017, when the Atlanta Falcons, the most bitter of Saints rivals, played against (and lost to) the Patriots. That game still drew a 48.4 rating in New Orleans, despite the enmity-fueled disinterest among local viewers.

It wasn’t just New Orleans viewers who were disinterested in Sunday’s game, though. Many fans of the Kansas City Chiefs were upset after they said they, too, felt cheated out of an appearance in the big game over officiating failures in their AFC Championship Game against the Patriots. Additionally, celebrities including filmmaker Ava DuVernay, actor and rapper Common, and performer Nick Cannon publicly vowed to boycott the game in protest of what DuVernay called the NFL’s “racist treatment” of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, whose decision to kneel during the National Anthem during the 2017 season sparked a league-wide protest movement and a national conversation on racial justice in America, but also cost him his job.

In the face of those varied, swirling subplots, Super Bowl LIII earned a 44.9 overnight rating nationally, according to Deadline. That's also a noteworthy decline in historical numbers and the worst ratings for the big game in a decade, since the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals squared off in 2009's game.

It didn’t help that Sunday’s game was a full-on snoozer. While New Orleans was dancing in the streets, the Patriots were defeating the Rams by a score of 13-3. That made it the lowest-scoring game in Super Bowl history. It’s also being called one of the most boring to boot.

“They picked a good Super Bowl to skip,” NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune sports columnist Jeff Duncan wrote in his recap of the game. “By any standard, this was one of the least watchable games in the history of the event. The game was utterly devoid of drama, excitement or controversy. It made one of Bill Belichick’s press conferences seem thrilling by comparison.”

It also had people naturally wondering: What if the Saints had played in the game, as they deserved to, instead of the Rams? Surely Drew Brees and Sean Payton’s high-powered offense would have mustered more than a measly three points, right? And certainly the TV ratings for the game would have been far better, wouldn’t they?

Alas, football fans will never know. But at least this much is clear: Saints fans know better than anyone how to make enough noise to affect the outcome of a game -- even if that game is being played some 500 miles away in Atlanta.

“Look at these crowds and look at all the events taking place all over the city," Kim Bergeron, an organizer of Sunday's "Blackout and Gold" protest parade, told The Times-Picayune amid the Who Dat throng on Decatur Street. "I predict today that the crowds in New Orleans will exceed the capacity of that stadium with that other little game in Atlanta.

“This is what happens when Saints fans come together, because we realize that the game is not about the score. It’s about a winning attitude, spirit and showing the world that we are not defeated.”

LOL at the "infernal sperg" comment at the bottom. I'm surprised DA permits language like that.

Speaking of sperg outs, the YouTube version of the halftime show is getting voted down by salty Spongebob fans.

The comments are kind of a hoot, but I'm too lazy to cap any.

Edit: The video was apparently pulled and re-uploaded once already at over a million downvotes. Or that's what I saw claimed, though I personally saw no evidence.

Nobody is happy about that. His response was relatively tame

He had harsher stuff earlier on...but anecdotal evidence, I know. He had a status up about how Trump was a Russian spy and that Trump's to blame for why Sweet Victory didn't come about. I wish I fucking archived/screenshot it. Perfect for the Trump Derangement Syndrome thread.

I still can’t seem to figure out what Adam Levine is trying to pass himself off as. A sensitive in touch with his feelings punk? Do young girls like that nowadays?
 
Today I learned Tom Brady is 41 years old. I can't imagine being able to do half the shit he does when I'm 41. Part of me thinks that there's another deflategate waiting to happen, but part of me wants to believe Tom Brady is as Godly as they make him out to be. Perhaps he's the Michael Phelps of football. For the record, most players retire around 35. Brady still seems like he's got some more years in him, and I'm fascinated to see how far this guy goes.
You.... do realize deflategate was a complete fabrication don't you? It's been pretty well documented. It turns out fundamental laws of physics in fact do not change, even when playing football. But it also turns out, people will believe any bullshit if it fits their worldview.


I could care less who won since this was a toilet bowl of a game anyway. Pats suck, so does LA.
Such is the life of a New Yorker.
Pats suck? I guess that's why they win so much.

I agree LA sucks. As do the rams. They shouldn't have been in the game anyway, the Saints won that game but the refs cheated them.

Im not a Pats fan, but as per deflate-gate, almost zero QBs knew there was a rule against having balls modified by inflation levels. Aaron Rodgers and peyton manning both said they always over inflated theirs, Russel Wilson even said he liked his a little on the under-side. It really didnt make any major difference other than making the ball fit the QB's hand better
