It’ll be intersting to see the Neilsen ratings for this weekend’s NFL games. I hope no self-respecting conservative turns on any games.

Careful. Sharpton & Co., have been putting pressure on Neilsen to inflate "protected class" numbers.

If you watch or don't watch a football game this weekend it has no bearing on the "Neilsen ratings".

You have to be part of the company's MO....i.e. you must have a Neilsen meter or some type of diary system to record your viewing habits over a period of time.

How would a company know what you're watching in any given time period....it boggles the mind that some people think Neilsen "antennas" pick up gamma rays or something from nationwide TV sets and then are able to break the signals down by channels.....LOL.

So, unless you're in participation with the Neilsen company in some way, you can watch the football game this weekend without lining your closed drapes with tinfoil.....and no one will be the wiser.

I'll not watch a game strictly out of principle and in moral support of Rush who is selfless in his support of this country.

If ratings are down, there are many reasons more likely than a boycott: the economy (teams have had trouble selling out stadiums dating back to last season), bad matchups/games (Browns/Steelers outcome was never in doubt, Bills/Jets is a stinker, Titans/Patriots is snowed, etc), things like that.

It would take a massive cratering for anyone to even begin to fathom that there’s a boycott happening.
