Huh. Thought the NFL would go bankrupt after the Kaepernick stuff.
We had people on this board predict the NFL would be doomed by the kneeling.
I'd say she put them over last year's number (115M), which was the highest. It appears they are counting them a little differently in the past (out of home viewers in all 50 states now) also.
They're saying it was watched by 202M viewers in part or in total, 10% increase over last year.
Now we know why commercials are $7.5M or whatever they cost per spot - hell, that $ amount is probably a bargain considering the numbers.
And at least one casualty via a whiskey bottle.

Well, the kneeling stopped. Bud light seems to have moved on from their controversy too by bringing in Payton and Emmitt. People have short

Good point. That was the sorriest fit of rage I’ve ever seen.He just wanted an excuse to upgrade.
I forget now where I read it, but someone made the point that $7.5M is the most anyone has spent for 30 seconds since the Jets signed Aaron Rodgers.
Holy crap. 1.5 billion people watched the World Cup final. I had no clue. That is unreal.
Nope.
All time US TV numbers. CBS' highest numbers fairly easily (2016 Super Bowl their previous high).
Super Bowls now have the entire top 10. The final MASH episode is now 11th all time and is the only non-Super Bowl in the top 30. The Apollo 11 lunar landing is widely considered to probably have been the highest viewed all time but that was across multiple networks and the technology was not in place to lock down a more accurate number than after it.

It was the most watched telecast on a single network in the United States. The Apollo 11 moon landing, which was broadcast on multiple channels, drew more viewers. And that was at a time when the US population was only about 200 million.
