One of Bears fans greatest memory is Tittle getting the hell beat out of him in the ‘63 title game. That defense was maybe as good as the 1985 defense. But you are right about his guts.

Thought: It’s not anymore about the quality of the “herd” but the “oppression” of the corral.

Interesting, the ratings were supposed to be down the first week because of the hurricanes. The following weeks should have gotten better if that was true but they’ve gotten worse.

Now all the NFL can do is continue to spew more lies. With a former Bill Clinton aide, Joe Lockhart, as their spokesman, you understand it’s all politically motivated and President Trump blew it all up by calling them out.

This has the community organizing agitation written all over it to continue to divide us by race. I’m so glad President Trump blew it all up and now the leadership of the NFL is in shambles trying to keep the agitation narrative going but by the continued viewership decline, they are up caca creek without a paddle.

“The ratings were dropping even before this nonsense”

Players were kneeling at the start of the year which was having an effect on ratings. This just went into overdrive when Trump called them out...and the league doubled down.

The networks will soon stop airing the sidelines during the anthem, or not air the anthem at all. The networks must protect their revenues.

Yes, but if they don’t show the National Anthem, players will all kneel or do the black power fist with every touchdown. They will find a new venue. We all know how racist the end zone is these days. White goalposts overhead.

Hey NFL Brian McCarthy. The boycott had an effect on me. I PARTICIPATED.

No more NFL leftist shit for me. I’m outta here.

Heard that the Curling Channel is doubling its coverage to include the Bikini Curling games. Gotta go check it out.

Adios Colon Kraperneck and comrades! I won’t be back again, and neither will you.

Well, even if all you count is their baby-mamas and illegitimate offspring, that will number into the millions alone ...

If the big paychecks stop, then even the relatives won't watch any more....

[wbill]

Oh sure, I like ‘em both. But Shakespeare is Shakespeare, and the Stooges are the Stooges. I’d not conflate the two. :-)

[Pride in the USA]

Excellent!

An NFL spokesman, Brian McCarthy, said there was no indication that the boycott had any impact, both on television and in the stands. He noted how viewership in general is down for television, and that there has been great competition with a busy news period.

Is college football suffering comparable delcines in ratings & viewership?

My son-in-law, a former big NFL fan, just deleted his entire fantasy league as a protest.

Tuned into a MLB Playoff game the other night. One of the players on the sidelines (I won't mention his skin shade) was acting a little to casually. A player next to him (same color) gave him an elbow jab when the cameras panned over and he snapped to attention like a new recruit in boot camp.

It was funny!
