Whats the point? According to the PS3 fans on this site, rednecks only own Xbox 360s!

 

I know you're joking around but all football fans =/= red necks

As a matter of fact. Arizona fans and Pittsburgh fans are neither in the redneck catagory.

 

Either way, this is a rumour, don't get all your hopes up. I doubt they would show this on the superbowl. This Superbowl is slated to have one of the lower rating (in terms of superbowls) but cost the most for advertisements.

 

i beg to differ, i think this year is going to be one of the higher ratings. must noteably because of the arizona underdog cinderalla story facing the giant seemingly unstoppable steelers.

Pittsburg and Arizona are not major markets.  Also, the Cinderella story or supposed juggernaut Steelers doesn't match Giants against Patriots at all.  Not sure how many people actually care.  For a football fan it is interesting, but just doesn't match last year, which was the Perfect Team against the Road Warriors.  That game had the Double Miracle (Eli to Tyree catch) and went down to the closing seconds, thus keeping the ratings up.

As a football fan, I will be watching, but trying to do a party thing with it so it is more than the game.

It's not necessarily about market size.   I agree New England versus the Giants was a huge game.  But the Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the largest fan bases in the entire NFL and this is the Cardinals first trip to the Super Bowl.  This also will be landmark (If Pittsburgh wins) and gets their 6th Super Bowl.
