Those poor Vikings fans made the top ten, but they aren't getting their rating's worth!

Like em or not(which most of us don't) Pittsburgh's share is very strong. Seven of ten people in Pittsburgh watching TV are watching the Squeelers! Wow that is tough.

yeah that is pretty amazing.

I wonder if these #'s dip for home games, and rise for away games, and how they take that into account.
