Just another reason why the NFLPA and NFL need to get a new CBA in place ASAP. Check out some of these ratings below. Regardless if there is NFL football in 2011, the league owners are going to get their TV money.
Thursday night opener: Vikings @ Saints was seen by 27.5 million viewers
Sunday Night game: seen by 25.3 million viewers
Green Bay @ Philadelphia: seen by 28 million viewers
TV ratings normally don't include those viewing in sports bars or watch parties in individual homes so these numbers are most certainly higher. Just how are the NFL owners going to get paid in 2011 if there is a lockout? Advertisers certainly aren't going to give the networks money that's for darn sure.
