NFL tv ratings took a massive hit... what do you do if you are owners to try and increase ratings?
- Thread starter bwifan
- Start date
I'm every bit the equal and more of PM in areas outside of fussball. I DEMAND ... yes... DEMAND to be paid whatever the F they are paying him! WLM!
People don't even know a CFB season started. They won't know a damned thing til november. And then even less than they already know.
sorry... Oct 24th is the joke of the century. The elitist pSSY presidents realize fussball does them no good. They tolerate it for the $$, but there will be no money this year, just the fussball they despise (grown men kicking ass and getting paid for it.. that kinda thing). They are betting on covid... praying for covid... anything that prevents fussball. That way they can go back to their p$$y elitist homes and sippy tea and chablis and extol the virtues of cntfest.
Give anything for a long piece of lumber and lots of tar and fire. Run every last one of them outta this country.
I do watch Barkley, but I donāt much care about the rest of the NFL. And up until Barkley, I only watched the Super Bowl every year. Iām not a follower of the nfl.

Well, part of it is the reminder that Tebow was forced to take a Bible reference off his š š!
And letās not forget Bosworth was forced to take off a shirt that said National Communists Against Athletes. Iāll also bet if a player wore a MAGA shirt or Trump shirt, heād be force to take it off.
Feel awful for how ābrokeā things are heading for the NFL...
NFL TV Ratings Post Strong Rebound While College Football Continues Decline
Thereās a big gap thus far between college and professional football television viewership.

āIn fact, season-to-date, the top 15 shows on television have all been NFL games. This is great news for the league as it continues to hammer out its new media deals with the likes of Fox, Disney DIS -1.1%, CBS VIAC -3.3% and NBC. The NFLās national (evenly shared) media deals are expected to roughly double to $15 billion annually from $7.5 billionāa big reason why team valuations rose 7% over the past year.ā
If youāre talking to me, thatās a bad assumption. Though itās unfortunately not a surprising one in a time when so many seem to feel that you either need to be at one extreme or the other.
I just find it funny that Clay Travis and the right-wing media (and board members) were shoveling dirt on the NFLās grave in post after post just a few weeks ago, yet it seems like a couple of people still watch the NFL.

I think your looking in the wrong area for reasons why the TV ratings are down for the NFL. It's a pandemic year and most industries are down from previous years. Have you seen how much airline travel is down? Do you think if restaurants had no restrictions that they would be producing record sales? It does not feel like a normal football season and the enthusiasm levels are affecting the total amount of eyeballs on TV sets watching most any sporting event for a while.
The failure of the NFL to fail is most upsetting to a small but vocal segment of society.
Big ratings increase for Monday night game.....

Yes.
It sure affects me. I got the point, enough already.
ps: do you believe that kids dropping out of school in large numbers should be attractive to hire. I donāt.
I loved how in the movie Gladiator the Lions suddenly appeared. Not a lot, just one here and there
They do āshut up.ā They arenāt making political speeches during games. People get offended by something as silly as kneeling during the national anthem. It has zero impact on the game itself.
Lol. NFL players canāt do that because they have their own women problems.
I served in multiple combat zones and it does offend me. It is their right to do that but it still offends me and that's my right. I do question people pushing certain agendas with the names of criminals (such as on their helmets), particularly while many minority neighborhoods in cities that get behind the agenda are looted and burned.
I'd love for these players and owners to want to make a difference to those people who lost everything in the 140 US cities that have had riots, to those who have to clean up after the temper tantrums that the athletes and celebrities fuel from a safe distance with tweets and public gestures. Maybe the players can open businesses to serve these minority communities that had their businesses looted or burned where many of the businesses won't come back? Maybe they can donate half of their salaries to rebuild these neighborhoods? There are a number of constructive ways to help people.
I can't get behind efforts to get people angry and destroy property or lives. You would think that social justice efforts should build minority neighborhoods, lives, and opportunities as opposed to burning them down. And not personally doing the burning down certainly doesn't absolve one from responsibility by knowingly engaging in efforts that time and time again have lead to burning it down. If I know that nearly every time that X occurs that Y happens shortly after, then have I not effectively contributed to Y every time I chose to do X?
Think of how much more they could get and how much higher their ratings would be if they didnāt have all this garbage going on. We just will never know.
Of course theyāre the top shows, everything else is in reruns since no one is filming anything right now. The NFL is the worldās tallest midget right now.Feel awful for how ābrokeā things are heading for the NFL...

I served as well and a peaceful protest is EXACTLY what they are doing and yet you compare it to criminals breaking the law in the cities. The players aren't doing that. They never once promoted that either. I lived in NOLA for 2 decades and saw players visiting hospitals. When my oldest was sick at 6 months old Marques Colston came into our hospital room as and talked to us for a bit. I've seen Brees and other players doing various things to promote wellness in the cities. Those things don't get as much coverage nationally as people that riot. Just like the peaceful protests that occur don't get coverage, because the news media is RATINGS driven. Riots = ratings. People sitting in or marching peacefully do not. Players doing good things is on local news, rarely on the national level. I have linked quotes on this site of Wade and Lebron talking about inner city shootings...in fact they brought it up to the world on the ESPY's a few yeas back. You can be for social justice and against criminal activity...somehow some people think it HAS to be one or the other. It's a narrow minded viewpoint and is forced down peoples throats by some of the talking puppets promoting their agenda.
Taking a knee is probably the MOST peaceful protest ever, but it somehow offends some people. I say BS, people just want to gripe about something. The purpose of defending the democracy is protecting the rights of those that do peacefully protest.

Those are the only kind of arguments the woke crowd likes because they can say whatever they want and no one can argue.
I sure as heck hope that you aren't denying the violent riots that have been declared in over 140 cities and totaling billions of dollars in damages in many minority communities. Nor should we overlook the assaults on police and the resulting meteoric rise in murders in the cities where these riots are permitted.
NFL players that visit hospitals are great. That isn't the issue at hand. They almost in full solidarity are giving glory to criminals on their uniforms and in their post-game interviews. That is absolutely not being against criminal activity, it is glorifying it, memorializing it, making criminals martyrs. That in fact incites violence. That is my issue with them. And nary an honest man willing to actually look at the real causes of the problems in these communities. They have made themselves into political pawns who are strong and run fast.
Well considering you simply just made things up in your head about what I clearly stated....you're not rational enough to even consider discussing this with. Get triggered with someone else is my suggestion.
Weāll find something out when they renegotiate the TV contracts, right? If they are doing so poorly and so many are tuning out, it will show up in the $ they can pull in from it, right?
I love football and watch it every chance I get even if it is a boring game. I would like to see the ratings breakdown per network per announcing crew. There are some crews\announcers that I can't stand because they feel they have to fill every dead space with their opinion on this or that. Being an Eagles fan I enjoyed watching the Cowgirls game last weekend because who ever manages the fake crowd noise was actually drowning out what Buck and AIkmen had to say. Collingsworth is just down right unbearable with his constant questioning of almost every play\decision blah blah blah.
I am also about keeping politics out of football (sports in general) because people do use that as an escape. Reminds me of the scene in "Invincible" when Papale's dad makes some comments about how cites\neighborhoods get their minds or things(like stikes, layoffs, plant shutdowns) with sports and coming together and supporting their teams. If we want to here about politics then we can watch all the shitshow news channels if we choose. I choose to watch sports not politics on the weekends so stop forcing politics into sports or I will just stop watching all together.

The love/hate relationship we have with announcers is interesting. I like Aikman and Buck. The only thing that bothers me about Collingsworth is his "gratey" voice LOL. And while you don't like Collingsworth for his questioning every play its very similar to my dislike of Tony Romo telling us what he'd do on every play.
And with my B&W homer glasses on I still think Steve Jones and Jack Ham are terrific and would take them over doing a game...any game than any current radio or announcing team. That being said some of the radio broadcasters I've heard doing NFL games Sunday afternoon are much, much better than their TV peers.
Right now I think the worst are the Monday Night crew of Riddick, Greasy and Levy. Riddick needs to go back to doing studio analysis work (he was good). Greasy and Levy just need to go away.
No, because you canāt prove something that didnāt happen. Who knows how much they could have gotten without all the garbage?
Totally agree on Steve Jones and Jack Ham, and that radio announcers are better then the TV ones. I think TV tries to make announcers out of people that probably shouldn't be announcing, like Gruden when he tried it, the constant gushing over whomever made a good play was so scripted it was ridonculous.
I'm certainly not rational enough to ignore violent riots in 140 cities, billions of dollars in property damages, destruction of businesses and homes, and steep increases in murders in mostly minority neighborhoods while pitching it as peaceful protests.
I wish there was a way for there to be more than one broadcast of a game. It would be interesting to see what network people would choose to watch, or what announcers, etc. As it is, if you want to see Game X you have no choice but to watch the one and only broadcast of it.

I think MNF has at least one other broadcast you can watch during the game (or they did recently). But, be careful what you wish for - instead of color commentary and play by play, Kirk and Chris interviewed John Calipari and Tom Izzo and they talked about being Lions fans growing up.

Just a reminder that LaNotta Lion is not a PSU alum, does not live in PA, and has no connection to PSU. He has studied fanatics though, and has posted in excess of 45,100 times on this message board. Oh, and he too goes all the way back to the Plotit days. LOL.
There are a lot of people that post here that are not PSU Alums or live in PA.
