Video taking off 19x its usual first day

Mina Kimes's Bears-Eagles recap passes thirty thousand by morning

Her Week 3 Monday Night Football reaction show, the one that carries Lenny in its name, opened at close to nineteen times the channel's usual first-day pace.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 61,439 views a day, 19 times a normal first day on this channel (3,294).

Nine hours was enough for Mina Kimes's newest episode to clear thirty thousand views, a total that most uploads on her ESPN channel take far longer to reach.

A typical new video here opens to a modest crowd over its whole first day. This one is on course to finish that day at something like nineteen times that mark, and the likes and comments are coming in steadily with the views.

The episode is a full look back at the NFL's third week, capped with a recap of the Bears and Eagles on Monday Night Football. Lenny, whose name sits in the show's full title, is Kimes's dog, and "featuring Lenny" has long been part of how The Mina Kimes Show presents itself.

The bounce came even though football channels around it were having a slower stretch. NFL Fantasy Football, for one, was running at about a third of its normal daily pace.
