It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If they have a fast entertaining game, keep costs low and have a network behind them I see this as a no brainier. 40 guys on a team at $100k each. Keep annual costs $8-15M a year per team and you basically have the cost it took to make band of brothers for 80+ 2.5 hour episodes. Never mind ticket sales will offset some of the costs. TV Series Budgets Hit the Breaking Point as Costs Skyrocket in Peak TV EraIt's TEBOW TIME!!!

Who doesn't?I like to project my own preferences on the rest of the world FWIW. And make stuff up on the internet.
I never heard of American Idol (or Kelly Clarkson). One night I was watching For the Boys and wanted to find Stuff Like There which Bette Midler crushes. Instead I find this...60 minutes and American idol are the only shows I've heard of on that list. Super bowl blows these viewer numbers out I would think.
And it's categorical. A ranking of the top TV shows will result in a list of TV shows, not necessarily what's got the world's attention. For example, when there are only four people left watching network TV, NCIS could still be the top show.

And I have not watched 60 Minutes in decades.
The Superbowl is an event. People watch it for the commercials and some people are in a room with a television but not really watching at all. That said, the #10 network show CRUSHES the #1 cable show and 20% of Americans rely on an antenna for television...
Sorry!C'mon man! I just want to proclaim this TV thing dead so they'll start putting the NFL on Amazon. Play along!
I actually bought a digital antenna this year in my ongoing project to cancel DirecTV. I wonder if other people cutting cable/satellite and moving to a digital antenna + streaming firestick/roku is pushing ownership upwards.
Will Wines Ward ensure the integrity of the league?
The way the NFL was last season do you really think there will be a difference in quality?Zero interest in watching a bunch of guys who weren't good enough to make it in the NFL. The only way any league has a shot is if the money is the same as the NFL and contracts are guaranteed. Otherwise, no top tier players are going to sign with a team in that league..
Getting so few eyeballs there that it is noteworthy enough to post about? Impressive.As an aside, I had no idea Rachel Maddow drew that many eyeballs. She's not getting any at my house, I can tell you that.
Not quite sure what you mean. I've never watched her, and I was more than a little surprised to see she was drawing such high ratings. But then again, I have never watched NCIS, either, and they are #1.Getting so few eyeballs there that it is noteworthy enough to post about? Impressive.
