The difference between the two games last night was about 4 million viewers. The NFC game was also the prime time spot. So I think yeah, maybe you can attribute a couple million viewers to Favre, but in general, the NFL is just the most attractive sport to fans. I think that football has the best appeal to the casual sports fan. I know I've never personally gotten together with friends for a game of any other sport other than football. Maybe that's my personal experience though. In my area of New York, other than Yankee baseball there really isn't a huge sports fandom for teams other than the Giants or Jets.
