Alright, so yesterday’s NFL games, huh? Let me tell ya, lots of folks were watchin’, more than you can shake a stick at. I heard tell that some games, the ones with the 49ers and that Rams bunch, or maybe it was the Giants and the Seahawks, yeah, those games, they got like, a 12.6 ratin’ and over 24 million folks watchin’ on FOX. That’s a whole lotta eyeballs, I reckon.
Now, them playoff games, they’re even bigger. The first three weeks of them playoffs, they say over 38 million folks were watchin’ on TV and them fancy computer things. Millions! Can ya believe it? That’s more folks than I seen at the county fair, and that’s sayin’ somethin’.
- Them early games, week one and the start of week two, they were even bigger. Bigger than a prize-winnin’ pumpkin at the state fair, I tell ya. Folks just love their football, seems like.
- And that NFC title game on Fox? Biggest crowd watchin’ since way back in 2012. Folks were glued to their TVs, I bet, just like flies on honey.
Heck, they say on average, about 17.4 million folks watch these games. That’s a powerful lot of people, sittin’ around, watchin’ fellas runnin’ around with a ball. But I get it, it’s excitin’, like watchin’ a good ol’ rooster fight, only with less feathers flyin’.
Last year, things were a bit wonky with that pandemic thing. But football, it came back strong, like a weed after a good rain. Shows ya, folks still love their football, no matter what. It’s like comfort food, ya know? Always there for ya.
Then there was that game with Kansas City whuppin’ Pittsburgh, 42-21. Heard tell over 28 million folks watched that one on NBC. 28 million! That’s the most folks watchin’ anythin’ on TV this whole season. Folks were probably yellin’ at their TVs, cheerin’ and hollerin’. I bet it was louder than a hog callin’ contest.
So, them NFL TV ratin’s, they’re somethin’ else. Lots and lots of folks watchin’. Makes ya wonder what else they could be doin’, but I guess football’s just that important. It’s like a big ol’ family get-together, only everyone’s watchin’ the same thing on them little screens. And that’s just fine, I reckon. As long as they ain’t causin’ trouble, let ‘em watch their football.
NFL TV ratings are a big deal, see? Them networks, they make a lotta money from them ads. And them players, they get paid real good too. It’s a whole big business, this football thing. Bigger than the Johnson farm, and that’s sayin’ somethin’! It keeps folks entertained, and it puts food on the table for a lotta families, so I guess it’s a good thing, even if I don’t always understand what’s goin’ on. All them rules and flags and whatnot…confusin’ as a three-legged mule in a briar patch!
Anyways, that’s the lowdown on yesterday’s NFL TV ratings, as best as I can tell ya. Lots of folks watchin’, lots of excitement, and lots of money changin’ hands. Just another Sunday in America, I reckon. Football and apple pie, that’s what it’s all about, right?
And them playoff games, like I said, they’re even bigger. The ratin’s go up higher than a kite on a windy day. Every game is important, see? One loss and you’re out. So folks are even more glued to their TVs, hopin’ their team makes it to the big game. It’s like a soap opera, but with more grunting and less cryin’.
Them TV folks, they must be happy as clams with these ratin’s. High ratings mean more money, and that’s what it’s all about in the end, ain’t it? But hey, as long as folks are enjoyin’ themselves, I ain’t complainin’. It gives me somethin’ to talk about with the neighbors, even if I don’t know a touchdown from a field goal. It’s the spirit of the game, that’s what matters. And the snacks, of course. Can’t forget the snacks.
So there ya have it. Yesterday’s NFL TV ratings were big, real big. And that’s all there is to it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits. Don’t want them burnin’ while I’m talkin’ your ear off about football.
