Via Bloomberg: ESPN’s Monday Night Football Has Highest-Ever Cable-TV Rating

The New York Giants’ victory over the Dallas Cowboys on ESPN’s Monday Night Football registered the highest rating ever for a cable network program.

Yesterday’s game had a preliminary rating of 11.4 to edge out a 1993 trade debate between Vice President Al Gore and Ross Perot that aired on CNN’s “Larry King Live,'’ said ESPN spokesman Dave Nagel, citing data from Nielsen Media Research. The debate had an 11.1 rating.

So, Tony Romo can rest assurred that his 3 INTs were seen by lots and lots of people.

A decision on who will start for Dallas is to be made today. I say go with Romo, as it is clear that Bledsoe can’t move and isn’t going to get any better. Romo, at least, can improve (at least theoretically).
