One of the worst things about sports this time of the year is when people compare TV ratings for different sports. Talking about TV ratings, in general, is a worthless enterprise, though there is an audience for it. I think it's because sports fans, to no surprise, like to know who the winners and losers are. Even if the numbers are made up and…

The team's problems were easy to diagnose. A…
