DirecTV - home of the NFL Sunday Ticket - did some fancy shmancy scientific survey to determine what games subscribers are watching and where they are watching it from.

Since the NFL Sunday Ticket allows subscribers to watch just about any game they want, the idea is to see what out-of-market city most closely follows each NFL team.

So without further ado, here is the answer to the question: Which city other than Dallas pays the most attention to the Cowboys? (Note: Texas cities that normally get Cowboys games on regular TV like San Antonio, Houston don't count.)

The answer: Washington D.C.

Four conclusions: There are a lot of Cowboys fans in the Washington area; Worried Redskins fans are forever scouting the Cowboys; A lot of people in Washington have Tony Romo as their fantasy league quarterback. There are a lot of TVs in the White House.

Here's the entire list:

1. Arizona Cardinals - St. Louis, MO

Asheville, NC
