It is the media market.
Green Bay is ranked 68 in the US in market size.
The comment was that the playoffs were comprised of NFL's large market teams only, but Green Bay, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh are all small market teams.
Had the comment been about the size of the fan base instead of market size, it would still not be correct. The Texans, Lions, and Falcons are far from the largest fan bases.
He didn't say the playoffs "has all big market teams". He said the playoffs "has all THE big market teams".
Big difference.
He was referring to Dallas, NE, GB, and Pittsburgh. Those are the 4 biggest money makers / fan bases in the NFL.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
