In response to "the point is that of course there are more viewers now, there are more people." by Reagen

I don't disagree with your IM. I thought we were debating what matchups bring the biggest % relative to the NFL now.

Responses:

some teams bring more viewers, but better stories bring even more. - Reagen Dec 8, 17:37 22
- the 'story' is important, but so subjective - and my underlying point is that all NFL fans watch the game. that number might grow marginally - Guy Dec 8, 17:41 21
  - They only care about a "name" because there is a story attached to it. It's absurd to say they don't care about stories. - TFox Dec 8, 17:44 6
    - you clearly don't understand women -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 17:49 4
      - you're right. i should learn that their interests can be easily categorized into "knitting", "cats", "things i can fuck", and "sad family dramas". -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 17:51 3
        
        Then you jump to the next qualifier: how hot are particular players, especially their asses.(Hi Troy!) -- nm - Trish Dec 8, 18:06 1
        
        Silly woman, that falls into the third category. - musubi Dec 8, 18:08
        
        Don't forget "Oprah"! (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 17:53
    - ("rakishly") -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 17:47
  - I think you're wildly underestimating the number of casual fans. Those are precisely the people who'll watch because of a story. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 17:43 13
    - the other factor worth mentioning is how good the NFL's marketing has become at turning ANY matchup into a 'story' - Guy Dec 8, 17:51 12
      - so why didn't it work for TB/Oak or NYG/Bal or Phi/NE? -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 17:53 11
        
        Women must have been busy knitting. - musubi Dec 8, 17:55 10
        
        excuse me - read my posts - TFox is the one who brought the focus on women. - Guy Dec 8, 18:00 6
        
        Did I miss you posting at least twice on b2 that Romo & Brady are hawt and would bring in women? - Will Hunting Dec 8, 18:03 2
        
        i mean to say "back on women". my case is the casual or non- fans cares about celebrities more than storylines - Guy Dec 8, 18:08 1
        
        I'm not saying you're sexist. I'm saying your argument is nonsensical and wrong. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 18:12
        
        Oh, so this post by you wasn't you posting then? (link) - musubi Dec 8, 18:03 [Backboard] 2
        
        you c&p faster than me. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 18:03 1
        
        I do a lot of things faster than y....wait, nevermind. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 18:05
        
        That we are trying to discuss casual watching of the Super Bowl without saying the word "commercials" is even funnier. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 17:56 2
        
        Honestly, ever since the commercials have become such an "event", they've kind sucked. - musubi Dec 8, 17:59 1
        
        This year, I demand more pothole. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 18:00
