The top draw for each network yet again.

 

[bbgun]

The top draw for each network yet again.

We would have had more had Favre stayed retired.

 

[gmb85]

We would have had more had Favre stayed retired.

:laugh2:

 

[tomson75]

Our top four rated games were all stinkers for us.

No wonder we're still under the radar.

 

[RoboQB]

I'm a bit surprised that Indy isn't on that list more than once (12th).
Their offense is fun to watch. Peyton Manning is a throwback player who should be seen at least as much as Brett Favre.

Cowboys in 6 of the top 8 is not surprising. Love'em or hate'em, everyone watches Dallas. Also, there are many fans coming out of the woodwork with their 90's merchandise and jerseys... not that there's anything wrong with that

 

[theogt]

We would have had more had Favre stayed retired.

And if the NO game wasn't on NFLN.

 

[CowboyWay]

We would have had more had Favre stayed retired.

What if Favre were our QB next year? Would our regular season games draw more than the Superbowl? Hmmmmm.......

 

[bbgun]

And if the NO game wasn't on NFLN.

A team that only appears twice on this list, despite being dubbed the "new" America's Team. Fail.

 

[Doomsday101]

I don't know why anyone questions the fact the Cowboys are America's Team. People will tune in to watch Dallas win or watch Dallas lose but they tune in, in record numbers. You love them or you love to hate them.

 

[poost]

I have a feeling that this Philly playoff game is gonna break some record.

 

[perrykemp]

How is #1 on this list higher than the #2 choice. Less People watching TV in America that day? Looks like the Packers - Vikings game drew 2 million more views than the Cowboy - Giants.

--Nathan

That is correct. The number of people watching television at any given moment varies.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I don't know why anyone questions the fact the Cowboys are America's Team. People will tune in to watch Dallas win or watch Dallas lose but they tune in, in record numbers. You love them or you love to hate them.

What gets me is why some Cowboys fans question it. I understand the haters feigning doubt, but our own fan base? I love it when lists like this come out. It removes all doubt.

 

[big dog cowboy]

see sig.

 

[Staggerlee]

Someone should show this list to scott van pelt. Steelers are americas team.

 

[Temo]

What gets me is why some Cowboys fans question it. I understand the haters feigning doubt, but our own fan base? I love it when lists like this come out. It removes all doubt.

I don't question it, I just don't care about it. I know the glitz and glamor go with the Cowboys-- always has and always will. But I really don't care for. I like the team in spite of it.
