On Thursday, the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys kicked off the preseason with the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. Most starters didn’t play, and the starters who received limited snaps probably aren’t recognizable to casual fans. And according to Sports Media Watch, 8.2 million people tuned in to watch the Hall of Fame game.
Sports Media Watch put that number in perspective: The highest-rated game in the NBA playoffs, before the Finals, was 8.1 million. The Major League Baseball playoffs, with both the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians making gripping runs to the World Series, had only one game with better ratings than Thursday’s meaningless Hall of Fame game. When the Cubs clinched their first World Series berth since 1945 in the final game of the NLCS against the fellow big-market Los Angeles Dodgers, it had 9.7 million viewers. Every other MLB playoff game before the World Series had less than 8 million viewers, Sports Media Watch said.

Would have casually watched it but didn't know it was on. Caught it in the last few minutes of the 4th qtr so I kept on with the channel surfing.

I just needed a chance to see Dallas in a Primetime slot. I don't know that they'll get much run come regular season.

Good for them.
