Default OT: GB/MIN game sets record for highest cable TV audience ever
Minnesota Vikings-Green Bay Packers Monday Night Football game sets cable audience mark - ESPN

Quote:
BRISTOL, Conn. -- Brett Favre's matchup with his former team has attracted the largest cable television audience ever.

His Minnesota Vikings' 30-23 win over the Green Bay Packers on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" was watched by more than 21.8 million people. The previous record was more than 18.6 million viewers for last year's Monday night game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys.

ESPN also said Tuesday that the game drew the highest rating in the network's 30-year history. The 15.3 rating beat the 14.4 for a Bears-Vikings game on Dec. 6, 1987, during ESPN's first season of televising NFL games.
For those who just can't put their finger on why Brett Favre is good for the league.

Well, good for their present bottom line, at any rate.

Huh, I thought the 2007 Pats-Ravens game was the prior most watched cable TV program, and thus the most-watched ESPN game.

Good for that team too. Green Bay loaded up to stop Peterson and Favre flat out beat them. Rosenfels or Jackson is playing back there and the Vikings lose 31-16.
