It’s all about how people consume media today, the days of everyone huddled around their TV’s is over. People watch on their phones or tablets, or at their convenience on a DVR. And there are far more entertainment options than ever. NFL TV ratings may be lower than a few years ago, but the NFL is still a big draw and also still tops when compared to the other big sports leagues.

I think the decline in TV ratings is overrated. TV ratings are now a limited way to truly judge the popularity of the league.

Then explain how TV viewership is up 12% on bowl games this year, sorry I have no link, heard it on ESPN radio. Of course ESPN broadcasts a lot of bowl games so it might not be an accurate number.
