Conspiracy theorists can shut it this week

barristerbarristerMember
You frequently hear people suggest the NFL (through their refs) attempts to influence the outcome of games in order to advace teams and get matchups that they prefer for revenue purposes. I personally don't buy it. Nevertheless, I think Green Bay and Chicago fans lose that excuse this week. I'm sure that Goodell & Co. would like nothing more than a Packers-Bears NFC Championship. That would be an epic battle that would result in a ratings bonanza.

So we got that going for us, which is nice...

Packers-Eagles game was the highest rated WC game since 1998.

Yes. Cha-ching. Packers love to watch their football. Funny thing is those ratings have a hard time accounting for "Packer parties" which 10-20-50 or more people can attend.

Yeah, PBoi...wasn't there some threat of the NFL coming after places that had parties for people to watch the game, even churches, for people who could not get the games or something?

Time Warner being the a-holes they are I distinctly recall going around to taverns and bars secretly video taping bars who had the game on and were "broadcasting" it without either a license or some sort of fee they or the NFL collected. I wanna say it just involved TW and not bars who had Direct TV.

They also did that for bars in cities where the game was blacked out and the bar via the internet broadcast the game. See here.

IIRC the NFL shutdown a church fundrasier in Chicago a few years back when the bears were headed to the SB. The church was charging a modest fee for entry to watch the game on a big screen tv.

I admit it: while watching it, I thought the refs were trying to throw the Packer game at Chicago this year.

Being a fan is not always rational. (Short for fanatic and all.)

And they did invent organized crime in Chicago, right? Big Grin
