Olympics is kicking the NFL preseason's butt

We don't understand it (though, we will accept it), but the Olympics is kicking the NFL preseason's butt in TV ratings. Maybe the NFL preseason games should really be called "exhibitions" after all. Here's Saturday's list put together by Sports Media Watch:

New York: 16.9/34 (Olympics), 3.4/7 (Jets/Redskins -- Brett Favre's first with the Jets)
Washington: 20.7/37 (Olympics), 9.6/18 (Jets/Redskins)
Chicago: 15.5/29 (Olympics), 8.1/14 (Bears/Seahawks)
Dallas: 16.2/31 (Olympics), 8.8/16 (Cowboys/Broncos)
San Fran.: 22.4/46 (Olympics), 6.2/14 (49ers/Packers)
Atlanta: 19.8/45 (Olympics), 7.0/12 (Falcons/Colts)
Houston: 16.3/29 (Olympics), 5.8/10 (Texans/Saints)
