It's Happened, Part One: Hell Has Frozen Over

The NFL's ratings woes just took another hit.

Sunday night was Game 5 of the World Series.  It was also one of the marquee matchups in the NFL:  Dallas vs. Philadelphia -- with America's Team continuing it's march to Houston, it appears...

(Gee, Week 8 and there appear to be THREE relevant teams.)

Anyway:

• World Series:  15.3
• NFL:  11.6

The NFL just got beat by THIRTY PERCENT in the overnight ratings.

It is the third time since the NFL Sunday package debuted that the World Series won (they also won in 2011 and 2013, but by far lesser margins, according to Sports Media Watch).

This is one reason the New York Daily News now believes FOX wants the Cubs to lose, knowing they will dominate the National League for some time and can come back next year.

I don't think so for two reasons:  They so obviously slanted the NLCS that no other team was basically playing.

And do you really want to risk televising a mass Cub-fan suicide?  (And I don't entirely mean that in a humorous manner!)
