AFC Championship game rating lowest in 11 years

Back when I gave a crap about baseball, hating the Yankees and rooting for anyone who played them was huge.

100% the same here. The end of the Yankees dynasty was ironically when I lost interest in baseball. Too many playoff teams, elimination rounds. They were good for baseball because you were obsessed with them for better or worse.

Hahaha! But everyone hates the Patriots! And they have the worst fair weather fans! And everyone wants to see someone different!
Suck it NFL!

I'll have a strong rooting interest...to see the Queefs QB torn to pieces.

I hate the Queefs...and what the Feck makes Mahomeys a likable character anyway?

I’d take pleasure in the chiefs losing too, but guaranteed it’s nothing like the nationwide orgasm when the patriots lose.

I would ask you what makes him non likeable? He's fun to watch, plays hard, is a good leader, doesn't quit. Acts humble, by all appearances is good guy, helps the community etc... not sure how anyone can dislike the kid...

He has constantly cheated on his girlfriend since becoming famous. In what world would a guy like this not be portrayed as Saintly? The NFL believes they have equivalent of Steph Curry. He is mixed race (I say that only as a point that he has very wide fan appeal across all demographics), among the most physically gifted QBs ever, and hasn’t been overexposed yet. Do you think when they turn on the cameras he is going to appear anything other than humble and totally relatable?

Well, I mean, we are America's team. The REAL America's team.

I got a Switch a couple weeks ago and was stealing time with it while my wife ran errands with the baby, so yeah I didn't watch.

It's like I said in another thread, there are 33 NFL teams....the 32 and the Patriot hater bandwagon....and the 33rd team is the LARGEST fan base, IMO.

 

[Brandon_Cox]

Chiefs are a powerhouse but not many actual people in Kansas....

How about Missouri?

 

[zoostation]

Millions of Patriot fans + tens of millions of haters = great ratings. Go Pats

 

[PittPatriot]

Both games did suck. But also we blew out indy and Pittsburgh in afcc during this time frame and #s still werent that low.

i think the sb should definitely be good/entertaining, but there won’t be many strong rooting interests outside the 2 fan bases.

There are plenty of 80’s fan boys in the Midwest who borrow their dad’s old gold starter jackets or sweatshirts to become “49er fans” in the next few weeks.

I dislike that GF of his.
His effeminate brother annoys me too.

 

[PittPatriot]

How about Missouri?

it’s right on the border. Close enough.
The internet has ruined “the map” experience.

 

[slam]

Crazy thing was that it was a competitive game for three quarters unlike the NFCC.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Maybe the NFL should figure out the Patriots vs TB popularity? Force TB to be on another team and ensure that team makes the AFCCG. Or even better the Patriots vs TB's team


/pure sarcasm in case people think I'm being serious

I don't hate Mahomes but I find him far from likable. On the field he's self-glorifying and plays to the crowd a bit much. As effective as he is I find his style of play irritating with those show-offy "no-look" passes, etc. And I can't get "punky high school kid" out of my head whenever I see him on TV.
