Super Bowl now most-watched ever (AP)

This years Superbowl was the most watched Ever!

NEW YORK -- Upon further review, Nielsen Media Research now says that the Arizona-Pittsburgh Super Bowl game was the most-watched in history.

Nielsen said 98.7 million people, on average, were watching Pittsburgh's exciting 27-23 victory Sunday night. That beats the 97.5 million who watched the 2008 game, which held the record for most popular Super Bowl.

On Monday, Nielsen had reported that this year's game had 95.4 million viewers -- impressive, but not a record-setter.

Nielsen explained the discrepancy of more than 3 million viewers by saying a more complete check of their records revealed additional viewership on some digital tier networks. The company hadn't been aware that they were showing the game.



Woo! I thought nothing would top last years.

 

The entire game all I could think about is : THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR GAME.

 

wow. Never expected that, seeing as this was probably nationally accepted as one of the least interesting Super Bowls in the last 20 years.
Only one I have ever missed.

 

didn't see 1 sec, no highlites, and I won't see any of it on purpose I can guarantee that

 

I saw highlights as espn of course hyped a simple interception return as -no lie- "the best superbowl play ever". Almost made me vomit.

 

the only reason it reached that number was because of all the people who claim t be steeler fans.

 

No, it wasn't. It wasn't accepted that way at all. If you paid any attention at all after the Ravens game you'd know that.

 

There was absolutely zero appeal to this game. The top story was Kurt Warner, for pete's sake.

 

And Cards first appearance despite being oldest NFL team... and Steelers reaching for most titles.., and second SB title for a rookie who completed all the terms of his contract and won a SB his first season... and the dynamic play of Fitzgerald...

..but like you said yourself, you didn't watch it... you didn't pay any attention to it before or after... so you're not qualified to comment.
