I agree completely, though I wish it weren't so. Football's my fourth
choice in sports viewing (hockey, baseball and college basketball all
ahead), and I often miss the Super Bowl. But this year's has what I
consider to be exciting -- fresh faces, new teams, and a more even matchup
than in most Super Bowls. But it seems that if you don't have a big-market
team or a team with a broad-based following, the ratings do hurt.

And Madonna's not the draw she used to be, either...
