    I'm from overseas so find extremely surprising that college football takes the first 7 spots ahead of the pros!

    Like watching the championship in English soccer instead of the premier league.

    ESPN might be guilty of massaging the #s here . lots of inflation thanks to running bots mainly in the SouthWest. Most of the tech talent handpicked by Leroy COrso himself straight from silicone valley

    Its crazy how many people watch football.Its a really boring sport to watch with out having money on the game or playing fantasy football.And a lot of those people have nothing riding on the game.I wonder how this super bowl is going to do.I think it will have more viewers then last year.

    Well on average 1 in 6 sports fans gamble on sports so the ratings would still be very high with out gambling.So thats only about %17 of the sports fans population.

    Interesting stats. I always say to my wife. I have no idea what people do if they dont like sports. TV stinks otherwise. These numbers reflect that to a certain extent.

    sports is real

    most people that do not watch sports have zero personalities

    Actually the NFL playoff game ranks lower than I woulda thought. College football can pull in the viewers.
