I have to imagine there is some Stamps fatigue. I know I get excited at the prospect of seeing a Super Bowl without the Patriots so I can understand that. Also the matchup is a repeat of only two years ago. I have to imagine a Bombers vs Ti-Cats Grey Cup would have generated a lot more interest. Also it wasn't a great year for the league in general as too many teams were bad. The Riders won 12 games but were unwatchable for the most part with the 2nd worst offense in the league. The Bombers and Ottawa won 10 and 11 games but had stretches of futility and the rest of the league was .500 or below. Montreal and Toronto in particular were unwatchable nearly every game this season and when your two largest markets are horrible it's going to hurt the bottom line.
