    TV is now programming for the next marginal viewer. They know you are tuning in.

    They are trying to get your wife and kids tuned in.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    This is a ruthless and poignant truth that deserves to be repeated.

    They're trying the man-love angle? Like Smithers-Burns? Or a twisted episode of Glee? My kids run away.

    I'll be honest. I have never understood how mentioning the QB more gets women to tune in. But that is definitely the approach.

    It's probably violating some modern code to say it, but women (and kids) actually like successful, competent men who are good leaders.

    I'd buy it, for men as well. But I think it has more to do with the power of repetition and advertising materials.

    And unfortunately, Q scores.

    Having a cute QB with dimples in the booth isn't going to get women to tune in for very long. A woman will watch football for the same reason men do - they like the game.

    I've become a huge fan of women's beach volleyball every Olympic year. I like the game.
