As the league (NFL) became more competitive, ALL of the games became interesting and the TV ratings skyrocketed. Now, there is no talk of big market teams or small market teams - the whole league is stronger.
I don't really care if you don't see it because I am pretty sure the league does, and that it is part of their motivation for these changes.

Well first of all the NFL is an entirely different animal. There are 16 games a year. Majority of those games are played on one day. Secondly there were 13 teams in the NFL last year with below .500 records. The NHL had 5.
