New Orleans – John Madden said that the biggest gap in sport was the difference between the winner and the loser of the Super bowl. And if you compare all the grandest sports shows in America, the biggest gap is the one that exists between the supremacy of the Super Bowl and anything else with the audacity to try to get closer.
Sting called him “Americana to the most kitsch”. Paul McCartney said one day: “There is nothing bigger than performing at the Super Bowl.” The legendary director of the announcement of New York Jerry Della Femina – Inspiration for the television drama Alpha -Chauvin “Mad Men” – nicknamed “Judgment Day”, “The addition of” (P) Oliticians have the day of the election And Hollywood has the Oscars. before the Nielsen notation system exists, the most watched television show in the history of the planet was supposed to be the landing of Apollo 11 Moon.
NOW? The first 10 shows in history – and 19 of the 20 best – are all super bowls. And the NFL tart-in-the-sky hope Can Sunday break the mammoth from last year in a way record of all time of 123.4 million average viewers. But it can take a serious and perhaps a little chance media, the Super Bowl from last year broke the record for the previous season of 7.4% drugs.
This number was partly helped by simulcasts on streaming platforms, but the biggest boost was that the game between the Chiefs of Kansas City and the 49ers of San Francisco went to overtime – giving the emissions of the Super Bowl An additional time to attract a wider audience. That said, a source of the league told Yahoo Sports this week that if the NFL had been conservative to project the possible size of the public on Sunday (partly due to the unexpected surprise of last season), there is a underlying current on Fox’s decision to push the Super Bowl in 4K on its free streaming channel (but supported), which has more than 97 million monthly active users.
“If there is a new record (from the hearing), (Tubi) will probably have a lot to do with it,” said the source. “I think there are people (in the league office) who are impatient to see how it goes and what can be removed from it. I imagine there is also a certain anticipation in Fox.
The source added that the leaders of NBC will monitor closely and “hope for a monster” because it has the main broadcast of the Super Bowl next year and will make up advertising prices with the outgoing momentum.
“All around, this will be interesting with regard to the grades for a certain number of reasons,” said the source of the league, adding that the opinion of the league according to which its media rights are currently “undervalued” would continue to be supported by the viewer of the Super Bowl climbing again.
With this mind, it will be interesting to see how the Super Bowl Lix ultimately attracts people beyond the simple football match. It is already clear that the spectacle will not lack supage – and perhaps compete – curiosities. Among them …
Donald Trump’s presence
Trump’s decision to Become the first American president in history to attend a Super Bowl generated titles since the time it was announced earlier this week. Since the trade of certain blows with Trump during his last administration, the League office and the team owners have tried to balance the positions on social conscience and justice while preventing from being in the political marsh which Bogged the controversial league on the demonstrations of the national anthem. Interesting fact, the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said on Monday The League would continue to continue the efforts of diversity with regard to its job practicesA message that goes against the anti-dei position that Trump has taken since his return to the White House.
But after Goodell made this declaration, the league decided unexpectedly to change one of its goal zone messages – Of the “end of racism” to “choose love” – After the announcement of Trump’s presence in the match. This change has raised a few eyebrows, despite the explanation of the league according to which he wanted to continue a more “edifying” message, rather than the message “end racism” which had been in one of the end zones of the Super Bowl since 2021 . At the very least, the least, the modification attracted more attention to the way the league will manage a projector based on Trump, which it will bring on Sunday to the match. Currently, no one knows what Trump’s attendance will look like or what role he could play in pre-match or post-match moments. And this is something that will add intrigue to the diffusion of the game.
The presence of Taylor Swift
The setback of Trump’s presence in the game will be the presence of Swift because it should again encourage the tight chiefs Travis Kelce of a Super Bowl skybox. This relationship even has His own propeller bets in various sports booksIncluding if there will be a kiss of post-perper-sub-super bowl or even a marriage proposal. This will again attract many fast fans, while renewing the embarrassment of fans who simply prefer to look at football and not hear about it. Anyway, it will be part of Sunday, as well as the clumsiness of Swift having approved Trump’s counterpart during the elections, Kamala Harris. There will surely be a shortage of photos of the Swift and Trump camera on broadcasting.
Will Kendrick Lamar play “Not like us?”
The Californian rapper overlooking the graphic is at the height of his popularity and his selection as an artist of half-time created a huge buzz around the game. But that also led the intriguing question to know if he will interpret his Piece of successful dissociating “Not Like Us”, which beat Drake in a rap quarrel, sparked a combination of defamation of the artist and was even adopted by certain Democratic politicians in gatherings of rallies until the Presidential election. Have we mentioned that Trump was going to be present for this performance? In the current state of things, nobody knows if the song will appear during the Lamar half-time show, not to mention how it will manage most of the words, which would not survive a broadcast without be silent at some point. Asked this week if he was preparing to play the song, Lamar sailed in the question. Again, this is the kind of thing that attracts an observation audience.
Tom Brady, three peat chiefing potential, formulant plots, Wild Eagles fans and more …
Finally and above all, there are dozens of other scenarios that will be put on Sunday broadcasting. There is the city of New Orleans which always returns with the Terrorist attack during the university football playoffsWith victims who are likely to be honored in one way or another during the match on Sunday. This will most likely occur during the broadcast or before the national anthem, a diffusion which, lest we forget, be Tom Brady’s first appearance of Super Bowl for Fox.
Again, the note Q of these names: Trump, Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Tom Brady – all in the same building in one night. It’s … a lot. I’m not sure you can prepare more police, secret service and private security details in one place at some point. Not to mention anyone who kept the $ 360 million yacht from Jacksonville Shad Khan Jacksonville Jaguars ownerwhich has become an attraction in itself this week. If anything, the superdome should be as sure as any place on the planet while welcoming more than 74,000 fans, two football franchises and hundreds of media members.
At one point, we arrive at the game itself, which does not lack threshing Third consecutive victory of the Super Bowlbut also in front of the majority of nfl general fans who have Transformed Kansas City into football villains because of this success. Rinse plots on the NFL officiating that ate part of the press conference of Commissioner Roger Goodell Monday, the problem became a vein of questions for chefs players. It is somewhat dabbed by a base of Eagles fans who thirsts for revenge after Philadelphia lost this same match in the Super Bowl match simply two years ago.
If all this is not enough to attract another record audience of broadcasting, maybe nothing will. It is a show that aims to entertain up to 125 million viewers – both on the field and outside. And in this regard, the Sunday Super Bowl should come and go with more winners than losers, whatever the final score.
