Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 This the Super Bowl, why are we talking about matchups like people won't watch the game anyways. It could be Cardinals/Jaguars and it would still pull in the ratings. As for the game, I said before that the Colts needed to play a lot better than the past two weeks to win this game and after a shaky quarter and a half they did and fully deserve to win. It's not so much as a ratings concern but rather a "what can we talk about for two weeks and who cares about these teams?" isssue which is null since as I said before, Chicago has a national fanbase with history. Manning is the face of the NFL and have a popular offense that is attractive. Not to mention the big story from the media, Two Black Coaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Didn't the Cardinals have a national following and take part in the least watched WS since everyone had television just a few months ago? Because no one else in the country gave them a shot in hell remember? Colts vs Bears is a classic match-up on tons of levels. Offensive juggernaut vs defensive power, two friends battling it out for a place in history, and a young quarterback always questioned against the quarterback hoping to rise above Dan Marino. How much more intrigue you need? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just John 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 I know I personally have no interest in seeing the Bears and Colts play each other. I'll watch it, because you know, it's the f'n Super Bowl, but I'm not all that pumped about it. If this happened back in October when both teams were dominant, it would be interesting. In their current wildly inconsistent states? Not so much. At least the two week layoff won't bother me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 I'm acutally genuinely interested in this match-up but it will probably be gone by the time the game is actually played. The two week wait for the Super Bowl is one of the more annoying things in sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Was anybody on this board besides Rendclaw alive the last time the Colts went to the Super bowl? Hell, I was two weeks old the last time Chicago went to the Super Bowl. Heh; I was nearly eleven... That was the first time I'd ever watched the Super Bowl... and seeing as how I'm not all that into football, I haven't watched many; in fact, the only two that I've ever watched were 20 (with my family) and 37 (at a shipmate's house). Seeing as how there are two Black head coaches for the first time ever, though (and yes, that actually is a big deal to some people), I figure this is as good a time to watch my third as any...

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Oh come on, this is miles ahead of Steelers-Seawhats. That's precisely what I said 30 minutes ago. The media had to beg that one guy from Seattle to say something to piss off Porter. Other then that, what the hell were people talking about? There was zero national interest in that affair and the game itself provided nothing worthwhile as well. Right off the bat, you get the media ready "Black Coaches" angle, the faces of the NFL (Manning and Urlacher), Defense Vs Offense and you can probably add the suspense of Tank Johnson doing something dumb in Miami. It hasn't even been an hour and there's already loads more interest and plots for this game then last year and the Brady Bowls minus the TO circus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
