NFL Ratings

[Recoil]

Well folks,

This Saturday night aired an NFL wildcard playoff game (raiders and jets). Does anyone in 'the business' know what kind of ratings that game pulled in? Just curious to see what kind of numbers Rangers is gonna be up against. Judging by how packed the bars were with the game on, Id say they drew a decent crowd...

It was a great game, indeed.

But, please, someone would like to explain to the Head of the Jets Special Teams what is the ONSIDE KICK.

What was that play? What could they possibly be thinking? There was only two minutes left.

Damn Jets.

Even people in the business take the weekend off.

The first place you might find the "major market overnights" is in the Programming Insider column on mediaweek.com

But, I don't think he gets on it until Monday morning.
