Quote:
After his testimony, Moyer was asked if part of the popularity of the NFL and its high television ratings was due to the large number of people who bet on games even if it's just in office pools.
"I can't prove that, but I can't deny," he said. "On the margins maybe it makes it a little bit higher, but if we had to make a trade-off, we would."

The only reason anybody watches a late-season Cardinals/Lions game (apart from a very small number of diehards for both teams) is because they've got money on it (or they have fantasy players on the teams, which is basically the same thing).
