It was brought to my attention in an email from Nielsen that the Dallas Cowboys have consistently been the biggest draw on TV this year. I don’t know if it’s because of the Terrell Owens/Romo/Witten drama, or because Romo’s dating Jessica Simpson, or just because they have the reputation of being America’s team, but you can’t dispute the evidence.

Last year's Green Bay-Dallas 10.1 million viewers, and Dallas-Carolina 4.8 Million Viewers. How bout them Cowboys? The Cowboys are also delivering huge audiences outside of Primetime.
