Most Watched Sports Events of 2008

Nielsen recently tallied the top watched sports events of 2008 and the list is a little reminiscent of the result of NHL's all-star game fan voting.

Let's just say that if NFL football was ever played in the Summer Olympics it would be an epic ratings winner.
  1. Super Bowl XLII - Giants vs. Patriots - 97,563,000
  2. NFC Championship - Giants vs. Packers - 54,005,000
  3. AFC Championship - Chargers vs. Patriots - 44,850,000
  4. NFC Playoff Sunday - Giants vs. Cowboys - 40,094,000
  5. Summer Olympics - Tuesday Primetime - 34,586,000
  6. Summer Olympics - Sunday Primetime - 32,679,000
  7. Summer Olympics - Saturday Primetime - 31,890,000
  8. AFC Divisional - Chargers vs. Colts - 31,598,000
  9. AFC Divisional - Jaguars vs. Patriots - 30,932,000
  10. Summer Olympics - Monday Primetime - 30,579,000
