... will be on tonight and then others will play on NBC Universal's networks throughout the time leading up to the Olympics. I'll more on that later.

The Big Lead —
... Favre, Ratings Bonanza: Brett Favre returning to Lambeau Sunday resulted in incredible ratings for FOX - 17.4 rating and 29.8 million viewers. It is estimated that 39 million were watching around 7 pm. That easily bested anything the World Series has done so far (evrn though the World Series numbers have been vastly improved over last year). Without competition from the NFL Sunday night, game four of the World Series generated a 13.5 rating and 22.8 million viewers. Game five’s numbers were impressive, too. Favre’s return to Green Bay ...

... the rain delay to end. Ratings and viewership for Saturday Night Football on ABC were not immediately available, but regional coverage featuring Texas/Oklahoma State and USC/Oregon likely trounced Washington State/Notre Dame. NBC drew better numbers for football on Sunday night, even though Sunday Night Football had the week off. Football Night in America , which led into the movie National Treasure , drew 3 million viewers on Sunday night. Sources: The Futon Critic , USA Today
