For all the yapping their fans did on the internet, they sure as hell didn't show up for the Super Bowl. Brady at the podium said the crowd was so good, it felt like a home game back in Foxboro.
Just like the Falcons synthesized crowd noise, I expect that a sizable chunk of the Rams' and Chargers' internet fans are synthesized as well....

True, thought of that as well. A lot of is also the "Anyone but New England" bandwagon jumpers who will root for anyone that posses a threat to the Patriots.

My wife and her family are from the mid-west and they have a few family members in Missouri who talk to her on Facebook. NONE of them were rooting for the Rams. Her extended cousins whom lived in the St. Louis area are still bitter about being robbed their tax money when the city made the mistake of bringing those losers into their town and paying for that stadium.

If you have tapes of the 2009 season, go back to the Rams game. There were more Saints fans that day in their stadium than Rams fans. That team struggled even filling up their stadium in St. Louis in the last several years. Even with a SB on their resume and the GSOT, they don't have many fans out there who show up for games. They exist on the internet and that seems to be it.

I was just in KC for a few days earlier this week. Everybody I spoke with agreed that we were totally screwed. They were all hoping for a KC/NO Super Bowl. That would have been a much better game than the swill the NFL actually served up.

I wanted Patriots/Saints. Most of our fans hate the Pats, but we have some kind of bond with them as fans. They are the only other team and fan base in the NFL that hates Goodell and posses a threat to him. I also feel like we kinda owe them something for coming back down 28-3 and beating Atlanta in the SB.

I don't agree with the notion that KC got screwed by the refs. They got away with a lot of blatant pass interference in the 4th quarter and in OT. KC was one of the most penalized teams in the league all year, but in the playoffs, the refs "let them play" most the time. There was one play with an obvious facemask in OT that Romo even pointed out. Despite this, New England still marched down the field and scored on that pathetic defense.

If I were a Chiefs fan, I'd be angry at Dee Ford's bone headed off sides deal. But seriously, that team needs a defense before they get to the SB. Mahomes went 1-5 in big games this year. They can beat Andrew Luck in big games and that's it (LOL the Chiefs almost screwed that game up too. It would've been a 7 point game in the 4th quarter if Adam V makes his extra point and the other field goal. They were begging to lose that game). Their defense was ranked 31st in the league and the Pats carved them up that night.
