Perhaps the NFL should take a page from the CBS broadcasting playbook, as it pertains to their coverage of the NCAA tournament.  Every year in March Madness, they find the Cinderella story teams, and promote the hell out of them.  The logical world knows that the underdogs seldom even make it to the final 4, let alone win the whole thing; So why waste all of that broadcast time on them?  Because they are bringing a lot more eyeballs to the screen than if they were only to trumpet the power programs.  They realized that fans of traditional powerhouse teams are going to be tuning in, no matter what.  They realized that it was the casual observer who's attention they needed to attract.
