For some reason, the people of pro sports don't want to hear that they are offending their fans base.

The phenomenon of "Johnny Football" continues to captivate sports fans. Johnny Manziel's NFL debut against the Detroit Lions produced record television ratings for the NFL Network.

The Nielsen company said Monday that 26.5 million people in the U.S. watched the World Cup final that Germany won over Argentina 1-0 a day earlier, setting a U.S viewership record for soccer.

According to the latest Nielsen ratings from the Houston area, no one - and we mean no one - was watching the struggling Houston Astros on Sunday.
