True, I've met clowns with a better grasp on reality.

Yes Nately, find that country girl.  She'll call you "daddy".  Not because she thinks it turns you on, but because she's confusing you with her last serious relationship.

This.  It's, what, the 2nd or 3rd straight year of declining ratings?  The product on the field - ESPECIALLY the officiating - has been turning fans away gradually for years.

I also think a big factor you don't see mentioned much is a huge boost to ratings over the years was from Fantasy Football, and I think that fad is finally dying pretty significantly.  All those casual "fans" quitting fantasy football aren't going to keep watching games.

Plus there nothing goes up forever.  

All viewing is down as more and more options are presented.

The NFL took advantage of their dominance by adding Sunday night and Thursday night games...but eventually rating drop for everyone and everything.
