Stunning To Me Anyway

it is hard for me to fathom how Sunday night's Steelers-Saints NFL game could have higher ratings than Game 4 of the World Series.
18.1 million people watched the football game while the baseball game had just 15.5 million people.
I don't get it. The only way people should have tuned into the football game is during commercials of the World Series game.
When you look at the low ratings for the World Series, you have to think of all the great post-season moments of recent decades that were not seen because they occured too late for viewers, especially in the Eastern time zone, to see. Why invest 2 or 3 hours watching a game when you might not last long enought to take in the finish? It would be like going to a great movie but having to leave before the last 20-minutes. So you don't invest the time or effort to watch World Series games.
Still, given the choice to watch the World Series or a regular season NFL game more people selected the NFL? Wow, not a good sign for baseball.
