I truly refuse to believe there's some kind of conspiracy theory.

To me it seems like a "Can't see the forest for the trees situation."

A lot of people would love to believe that the Seahawks were shafted in the game, but seriously do you think that if the Seahawks would have won the NFL product would have been any less popular? I mean go back to a Tampa Bay team that had hardly a following a few years ago, a Super Bowl win TRANSLATES to NFL growth. Say Seattle wins the Super Bowl, that would create more "bandwagon" fans and have more fans come out of the woodwork. Being that Seattle isn't exactly what you'd call a "football city" one would think that having a Super Bowl champion would at least bring about a bit of hype.

I don't think that one team or another winning the Super Bowl hurts the "product" of the NFL. It might just be me but I don't think that anyone LOVES a dynasty unless you're a fan of the team in question. I know that I, for one, HATED when the Patriots were dominant year in and year out. It's nice to have a change once in a while.
