So a broadcast involving zombies playing football would be a ratings bonanza. :)

How long before zombie flicks are deemed “racist”, because “zombies” are a proxy for “feral hordes”?

IMHO, Too many sport on TV anyway. The NFL is oversold.

This season of the Walking Dead is probably the best so far.

TWD is only an hour. Including commercials. Tough to compare that to an NFL game. I love TWD, but if my team was playing, I’d watch TWD online the following day.

We always dvr it and watch it later sans commercials. Just 2 episodes left until the midseason break.

Fifty years of a national obsession with football and basketball dropped the US national IQ from 100 to 98.

Those combined with more stuff like "Walking Dead" should push it down to 80 or 75 in another ten years.

We'll have half the population talking and functioning like Radio.

1. Most of the games have been boring blowouts

2. We’re sick of Bob Costas and other sportscaster types getting political on us.

“New England Patriots’ 42-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts”, not much of a game after half-time.

It is really difficult to watch televised football anymore. I love to watch football. The NFL is trying to figure out why rating keep falling. I would offer the following Problems:
1. Too many constant and incredibly stupid commercials.
2. attempting to appeal to the female audience. On filed interviews asking athletes how they feel about loosing, winning, getting injured, losing career, etc.
3. announcers that want to talk about everything under the sun except the play on the field.
4. Not showing the cheerleaders enough. These ladies go through a lot to retain their place in the squad but seem to be blacked out due to 2 above.
5. The NFL is not the judicial system. It is not up to the NFL to hand down punishment for off the field infractions unless it affects the individual ability to play the game.
6. Too damn many assigning commercials.
7. Let the players play the game. We are not watching to see how many yellow flags can be thrown or how the officials can effect the game.
8. Too damn many stupid and insulting commercials.
9. Too many idiotic and moronic commercials.

Thank you for listening.

You wanna increase rating in football. Make the game 4 minutes in length, 1/2 2 minute warning and 2nd half 2 minute warning...a lot of the time, the rest of the game is boring.

Now that I can stream the games online, in this case NBC Sports Extra, I only watch Sunday Night Football on TV if my team is playing. That way the spousal unit can watch her shows while I watch the game on my computer.

In fact, I watch most sports online. I’m about to watch an NBA game right now. Rarely need to tune in on the TV.

I doubt the viewership ratings take that into account.

“Zombies”...hmmm, you just may have swerved into a possible new name for the NFL Redskins. Of course that idea will last
no longer than it takes to organize zombies (walking
deadocrats) into a victimized minority.
