But then if you looked at what they were comparing it wasn’t exactly equal.

“The NBC telecast drew a 2.6 rating and a five share, compared with a four-game NBC average of a 3.2 rating and a six share one year ago.”

Then they go on to compare the first NBC game this year with the first NBC from last year. Only problem is that NBC did Game 3 last year and Game 1 this year.

Seems like they are comparing apples and oranges.
