Phil Rosenthal: NFL dying? Hardly. Meaningless Bears-Ravens scrub show outdraws decisive Stanley Cup game
If America is indeed souring on pro football, someone apparently forgot to tell Americans.
Last week's meaningless Bears-Ravens Hall of Fame Game scrub show from Canton, Ohio, on NBC averaged 6.77 million viewers nationally and a 4.1 household rating.
That may not sound like so much. In fact, it's an 18 percent decline in viewers and household rating from last year's Hall of Fame Game between the Cowboys (the NFL's top TV draw)
