Football more popular than ever?! (1 Viewer)

Thats right 107.4 million people here in America watched football this past weekend, and that includes the 27 milion that watched on Thursday Night. That means 200 million people did not watch this weekend? What were they doing? lol Even though this is the best weekend ever, I did think more people watched then just 1/3 of the country, especially since 1/6 people own a fantasy football team.

Did anyone see this level of popularity coming after a lockout which mad a ton of people mad?

Economy sucks, people need a distraction, staying home watching football cheaper than going out.

Nothing else is on Sunday afternoon. When I got home from work at 4:30, I flipped through the channels twice until I finally watched a quarter of the NYG/WAS game. I got bored quickly. So technically, yeah, I watched football on Sunday, but the current product is boring the hell out of me.

More than half of the country is wimmins. They mainly watch chick flicks and tearjerkers. A fifth of the country is immigrants; they watch futbol. 13% of the country is under 10. They watch cartoons. Half of the men think that sex is more important than football. 62.5% of them watch porn.

The wonder is that over 100 million watched football!

So much for all of those people who said they would never watch another game again and the lockout would kill the sport.

For one thing, pretty sure that was not 100+ million different people, correct?

I counted for Thursday night, Sunday afternoon, Sunday night, and Monday night, so I counted 4 or 5 times, correct?
