Stupid Sports Blog:
I bet when you're alone at night and you're drinking to fight off the demons, you say to yourself, "Everyone is sick of Brett Favre. Why must I hear about him at all moments of my day if no one cares? Why, God, Why?"Well, here's the thing -- people do care. About 39 million of them care, and those 39 million people will dictate what the other 261 million watch. It's a sad truth, but one we must embrace in order to maintain our sanity.
Luckily for you, I am not sane. Haven't been in at least a decade. That's why I've decided to go crazy and examine the demographics of those 39 million people who watched Favre's return to Lambeau on Sunday.
Fox viewership breakdown Vikings at Packers (39 million)
19 million -- Packers fans
500,000 -- Vikings fans
2 million -- Guys in Wranglers
300,000 -- Gay guys in Wranglers
2 million -- Guys in Wranglers who won't admit they're gay (overlap group of original Wranglers group)
6 million -- People who were hoping Favre would snap a bone or tear a tendon
4 million -- People who own Adrian Peterson in fantasy leagues, who were once again disappointed by Favre's short-yardage TDs
150 -- People rooting for Favre who aren't Vikings fans
150 -- People who own Favre in fantasy leagues and their starter on a bye (overlap group)
900,700 -- Gunslingers
1 -- Cyndi Lauper
1 -- Mary Jensen
1 -- Peter King
7 million -- Lazy people who couldn't find their remote
