Of course not, why would they? Pretty much the same reason why CBS refused to show a replay on multiple obvious penalties.. Just ignore that it happened and hope it goes away.

The NFL is hurting for ratings and they're hoping that Brady continuing to make history will save them. The problem is, the die hard football fans who are helping to keep this sport relevant are sick and tired of seeing Brady and the Pats gifted crap. The only people who want to keep seeing them, is the bandwagoning Pats fans and the absolute worst kind of casual football fans. They couldn't give two [BLEEP] about the game, but all they know is Brady and the Pats because it's shoved down everybody's throat. Most of them would have a hard time naming 10 different players in the entire NFL, let alone 10 players from a single team.

Good point, I remember watching NFL network (bleh) before the conference championship games and they had a fan poll on who you would want to see in the Superbowl. The overwhelming favorite was Jags vs Vikings, I think it was 46%. The other 3 scenarios (Jags vs Eagles, Pats vs Eagles, Pats vs Viks) were less than 20% each
