Monday Night Football Really Scores For ESPN Especially in The Big Easy

I noticed a tweet from ESPN public relations maven Bill Hofheimer. He talks about the overnight ratings for Monday Night Football which ended up being a New Orleans Saints blowout of the New York Football Giants. The national rating was very good. The local rating in New Orleans was even better. Six times better as you’ll see.

That’s evidence that New Orleans is truly WhoDat Nation. And that’s one of the major reasons why ESPN pays over a billion dollars for the rights.
