Tom vs. Patrick -- Super Bowl LV thread

Lowest SB ratings since 2007.

fork the NFL.

... and the news readers on KCBS in L.A. gushing over all of the "excitement" of The Big Game ... followed by a report that restaurants and bars cannot show The Big Game on TV, except in Long Beach and Pasadena, cities that make their own quarantine rules ... and don't forget the premiere of "The Equalizer" immediately following The Big Game ...
 
Having Jimmy Buffett do four songs - maybe mix in Kenny Chesney and Alan Jackson to do their beach songs - would have been great. But I'm guessing RocNation doesn't have a relationship with them.
Jimmy Buffett is 74 years old. 74.
Is it really that hard for Boomers to understand that most of the country (the people who buy ship) doesn't want to see a 74 year-old up there at halftime?
 
Since ratings measure length of viewer engagement as well as raw numbers, my guess is that the fact the game was essentially over by halftime drove ratings down. I mean, I watched the fourth quarter, kind of, but I was also washing dishes and putting leftover barbeque and chili away. I'm sure many casual fans just changed channels or turned it off by then.
