NFL Network Draws 2nd Biggest Audience with COLTS v JAGS
Yes, the NFL Network drew just a tick under 6.2 million viewers. The second most in the networks history and the best of the season. Sound Impressive? It's Not.
It is true that the NFL Network does not reach every cable subscriber, but In reality, FANS don't care about this network. Viewers still would rather watch CSI, Grey's and The Office on Thursdays. Plus, Te NFL Net only has about 24 hours of programming that viewers even care to watch. It is time for the NFL Net to give it up. Fans just don't care about Thursday Football, even if it is a BIG match up, like last night.

The Tonight Show, starring Jerry Seinfeld?
The Internet is buzzing with the "rumor" that Jerry Seinfeld could be selected to replace Conan O'Brien on the Tonight Show. Of Course, everyone connected is denying it. Of Course they would. It is a GREAT Idea.
Jerry Seinfeld taking over the Tonight Show would be Great. Ratings would be back on top and the talk show would be relevant again. Seinfeld would bring instant credibility along with the increase in ratings. Heck, even I would watch it. But, will the cost of Seinfeld taking over the Tonight Show be a 2nd season of THE MARRIAGE REF?
