In terms of ratings, this years Superbowl is only 2nd to last years Giants beating the NFLs team score a lot, the Patriots. Roughly 95.4 million people tuned in to catch this years Superbowl and man was it a close one. With another thrilling finish to another great Superbowl, the ratings spiked in the late 4th quarter when the Cards took the lead and then when Santonio Holmes [OSU Alum] eventually won the game with his amazing end zone catch with time ticking away.
The only thing that beats both this years and late years Superbowl in terms of ratings, is the conclusion to the TV series of M.A.S.H titled "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen." The episode caught 106 Million viewers [77% of viewers that night] and stands to this day as the largest single audience in history.
It makes you wonder what Superbowl could topple M.A.S.H. Maybe a Cowboys, 49ers game again could do it, or what about the Cleveland Clowns making it to the big dance? Maybe one day we will all watch this game and be amazed. Until that day, heres to you Steelers, for winning by only 4 and letting me win with my Cards and 6 1/2 on the line...beautiful.
