Not sure what this says about our priorities. On a night when a former president delievered an epic speech at the Democratic National Convention, the Dallas-Giants game delivered a much bigger rating. In fact, this was like a 30-0 rout.
From NBC:
NBC DOMINATES PRIMETIME: The NFL game on NBC faced strong competition from the Democratic National Convention on CBS and ABC, as well as on multiple cable news networks. The 14.7 rating and 23.9 million for the game more than doubles the night’s primetime averages of ABC and CBS combined, according to preliminary fast-affiliate averages for those networks (3.3/5 in households and 5.1 million viewers overall for CBS from 8-11 p.m. ET, and 2.5/4 and 3.6 million for ABC).
Not to quibble, Ed, but you think it was an “epic” speech?
I love politics, but never watch either convention. Too much hot air for me to handle.
