NFL football in particular and football in general is bigger than ever in every way, certainly beginning with the all-important category of fan interest.

Last week one of the USA TODAY Snapshots (a quick poll of readers which the paper does daily, on a variety of topics) asked the question, “What is America’s favorite sport?”

Here is exactly how the responses appeared in USA TODAY:

Pro Football 35%

Pro Baseball 16%

College Football 12%

Auto Racing 9%

Pro Men’s Basketball 5%
