    Who cares? The XFL is coming back...and it'll be serious this time!

    Seriously, I'm 99% sure I won't be watching the Superbowl this year.

    Haha. It's as if Vince saw that people loved the 30 for 30 on the XFL because it made them laugh and reminded them what a shitty product it was, and he misinterpreted that to mean people want the XFL back.

    It probably has at least a chance to go more than 1 season this time seeing how the NFL is rigging games for teams no one likes to win. Actually, the NFL is becoming more predictable than WWE.

    The NFL is not rigged. Slanted maybe but not rigged.

    For starters why would they choose to make the team everyone hates win? Where’s the profit in that?

    They know people will watch to root against New England. If Jaguars won then it would lose ratings, because no one would care about the outcome.

    But why would that team win so much? Isn't the fairy tale ending that they get it in the end?'

    And, as I just asked Slyder, why the Eagles? They're kind of unpopular outside their home city as well.

    Well they win, because they're good. The fact that refs help a team that doesn't need the help is infuriating.

    As for the Eagles. I have no answer for why they're in especially after Wentz injury. Their fanbase is probably the douchiest fanbase in all sports which would lead people to thinking whats the big deal if New England wins one more?

    But that doesn’t really explain why the NFL wants this Super Bowl. They’re in business to make money so if it’s all fixed and predetermined then why would they pick a Super Bowl their customers hate?

    People watch to hope they see a team lose. Say it was Jacksonville/Minnesota. Does anyone hate those teams? Maybe Green Bay, but nobody hates the Jaguars. Nobody even knows the Jaguars exist.

    Right. But you still haven't answered why Philly/New England.

    If the narrative was to place a team in the SB that every one hates so you can get them to watch it hoping they lose why would they pick an opponent a lot of them also hate and not, perhaps, Minnesota? or New Orleans? Or basically anyone else that was in the NFC field?

    Your posts seem to be wavering back and forth between thinking they only want NE there because people want to watch them lose and loving NE just because they love them.

    The fact of the matter is they're just a good team and referees make bad calls a lot.

    And why would Jacksonville even be that far in the first place and not Pittsburgh, since that was the money making rematch they'd probably like better if they were fixing everything?

    Well, there will be like 27 fanbases rooting against New England, and 3 rooting against Philadelphia. Me, personally? I want a meteor to hit the stadium. Anyway, so what they wanted to accomplish is still there.
