World Series Game 3 averages 13.64 million, beats ‘Monday Night Football’

[CM_Burns]

This is the 1st WS I've watched in a long time, not surprised. It was also a garbage MNF game, nobody outside of the tristate cares about the Giants this year, at all. Jets are doing bad but Rodgers and all the behind the scenes stuff draws people a little bit at least.

The NBA finals don’t even do more numbers then NFL holiday games

So I don’t get why y’all acting like this was expected, this is great for the MLB

It's actually great for the NFL, since it's the standard for professional sports TV ratings.

The huge escalation in fees is big for the major leagues and a lesson in basic economics for media companies: When something of great value is relatively scarce, the price is going to be high.

as it should. the two most famous MLB teams from the two largest markets are playing each other for the world series. if they cannot beat a regular season NFL game, then they never will.

The 2 biggest names in the MLB playing in the World Series beat a random mediocre MNF game?

The Steelers are arguably the #2 NFL "name" after the Cowboys and the Giants are big also.

The ugliness of these teams' styles of play mean more than anything.

Yeah I’m a Giants/Yankees fan but I didn’t even tune into MNF. Had my eyes on the Yankees that night.

I mean, it's the World Series with maybe the biggest name going back to Barry Bonds, who broke records last month and stayed in the news cycle - playing in his first World Series and coming back from an injury.

From the two most well-known teams around the world, maybe in any sport.

It's an ordinary Monday Night Football game, week 8.

If anything, it's an indicator that Baseball has a nice pulse.

What are the NBA christmas games going against the NFL this year?






This might be the year the NBA finally beats the NFL in ratings Last year the NBA had elite matchups on Christmas while the NFL had mid games and the NFL still won in ratings Maybe ppl will finally smarten up and realize NFL ain't always the best game on when there's other sports on at the same time.

• Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers 10AM PST
• Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans 1:30PM PST

Mahomes and Justin Fields fans vs Russ
Lamar vs CJ
Taylor Swift and Future vs Ciara

Yeah, NBA is not beating that.

New York got their asses kicked in both

 

[concise]

Of course this is a huge deal, they even set the schedule up to not have any Sunday games. Back in the day, the WS was so respected that they had a scheduled week with no SNF so that people could watch the WS.

For context, there hasn't been an NBA game that averaged over 13.5 million viewers since game 6 Celtics vs. Warriors which had no NFL competition at all.
