WHO ARE THE NFL'S MOST "AVID" FANS?

     The ESPN Chilton Sports Poll surveyed 14,824 U.S. residents
over a 13-month period (Jan. 4, 1994-Jan. 23, 1995) in an attempt
to quantify the NFL's most avid fans.  "Avid fans" were
identified by asking respondents to place themselves on a scale
of 0-10, where zero is "not a fan at all" and 10 is a "super
sports fan."  The following are demographic breakdowns of
respondents who answered 8-10:
