Favre the Big Draw for NFL Week 8
Brett Favre’s return to Green Bay was must-see viewing for NFL fans.
Fox’s national game Sunday, which was mainly the Vikings’ 38-26 win over the Packers, was the network’s second most-watched Sunday telecast since it started airing the NFL in 1994, with 29.8 million viewers. The record was 32.1 million for 49ers-Cowboys in 1995.
The game drew a 17.4 rating and 32 share, up 26 percent from the comparable window last year.
The rating is the percentage of households with televisions tuned to a program. The share is the percentage of homes watching among those with TVs in use at the time.
NFL Week 8 Review
The league is full of terrible teams – St. Louis Rams (0-7), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7), Tennessee Titans (0-6), Kansas City Chiefs (1-6), Cleveland Browns (1-6) and Detroit Lions (1-5) with the two-win Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks, Oakland Raiders and Carolina Panthers not too far behind.
Rookie Mark Sanchez Named as Starting Quarterback for the New York Jets. 
Rookie Mark Sanchez has been named as starting quarterback for the New York Jets. First year head coach Rex Ryan made the announcement on Wednesday as the former USC man beat out Kellen Clemens for the job to face Houston on September 13. “This comes with a lot of responsibility,” Sanchez said on NFL.com. “As happy as I am, I know that this is just the beginning, and I’m just excited, really excited to get to play with such great players.” Ryan met with the pair to tell them the news and Sanchez takes over from the departed Brett Favre having shown his worth during training camp.
Vick to Debut Against Jaguars 
Michael Vick will make his Philadelphia debut in the pre-season clash with Jacksonville on Thursday. Vick has not played in an NFL game since December 31 2006 when he was with Atlanta and has since served 18 months of a 23-month sentence for his role in running a dog fighting ring. He was released from Federal custody on July 20 and has since signed a one-year contract with the Eagles, where he has been getting himself prepared at their training camp. Head coach Andy Reid has not indicated how much game-time Vick will get against the Jaguars with starting quarterback Donovan McNabb preparing for the regular season. Vick will require a favourable decision from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell if he is to be reinstated into the league – this could be made by week six in mid-October.
