results are astounding (to be fair, when I entered the dates for the comparison, I excluded the last few days to show more typical averages, because the recent signing news with the Ravens has caused a huge spike in viewership since the news was reported). This Earl Thomas averages 1,194 page views per day, the other three Earl Thomas articles average 8, 6, and 1 page view per day. Please submit your opinions and thoughts. Should concensus be reached, I will make the page change in about one week’s time, as that is generally the minimum amount of time that Knowledge establishes as a guideline for talk discussions before making drastic changes. Thanks
