There were so many story lines in this game and it was hyped to the max so I'm not surprised to see these ratings. It got so I almost turned off BSPN cuz it was nausiating their love fest for all things Favre. Frankly I'll be happy when the next MN game is behind us no matter who wins. This drama and the rest of this crap is emotionally draining and no fun, really.

That's been going on for 10-12 years.....did you almost turn it off all those other years for the same reason? I can sympathize, I really can.
