Thank God they lost the game!
Yes, he has said his sales are going down.
I’ve read that both Fox and CBS pre-announced lower earnings due to NFL viewership woes.
NBC is considering canceling remaining Thursday night games.
ESPN is considering dropping NFL altogether.
This won’t really get fun until the owners slash the salary cap in half or more ad these whiney *itches start paying the bill for their free speech.
And this..
ESPN losing 15,000 subscribers per day.

I’m an original PSL holder for the Houston Texans, for now anyway. They’ve been listed and will be sold - hopefully I can get out from under this and make some money (in a truly capitalistic sense)!. I will not be attending any games, fortunately I was able to sell every game, and make a little money (about $10 a game, was just wanting them GONE).
You obviously didn’t watch last year’s WS.
In those movies it was a terrorist sniper actually inside, or a blimp trying to land on the field and setting off a device that would shoot thousands of rounds into the stands.
I'm not aware of what NFL stadium would be "attackable" from a tall building.
Might work in Wrigley field where it's more open. And buildings right across the street.
Then again, who knows *what* some loon or loons could think up?
Nobody conceived of it happening in Vegas.
Until it did.
Nobody thought about 9/11 until it happened.
Yet the networks are up to their hips in it as they were the ones that chose to make a big deal out of the doofus last year, and now gleefully show every instance. They could have ignored the whole thing. They too are making their own beds.
Meanwhile, I expect the player IS expected to study... his PLAYBOOK!
Crib courses.
Not all by far. GF’s cousin was an NFL fullback for 7 years and has happily “retired” to a paid-off 300 acre farm that provides a nice income.
Every Pitch. Last year was great too and especially since it was finally the cubs.
Those old novels were great for their day. What makes the NFL stadiums a more likely target this year is their political meaning as regards the flag kneeling. A false flag attack attributed to a “white racist military veteran with an assault rifle” would cause a social explosion.
A blimp is picturesque and looks great on a movie screen, but is astronomically unlikely to be an attack vector in 2017, as say compared to COTS quad rotor drones dropping hand grenades or just spraying a bogus “poison gas” to cause a panic stampede (the real killer in a packed stadium).
A gun inside the stadium is not likely due to perimeter security post 9-11. And a shooter inside the stadium will be caught, dead or alive, so a false flag operation is not likely to try this.
A shooter a half mile to a mile outside a stadium can fire just over the near side of the stadium, the rounds will impact the opposite upper deck. The shooter does not have to be in a tall building looking down at the open top of the stadium. The shooter is likely to escape, so false clues can be laid to attribute the crime to his ideological enemies.
Several stadiums (Baltimore Ravens for example) have broken upper decks with separations between the sideline and end zone sections. Opposite upper decks are directly visible to possible shooters for a simple line of sight attack. A van could park on a nearby highway overpass (I’ve driven past the exact locations many times) and fire straight into the packed stadium.) I don’t want to be more specific than that, but I’d encourage you to read the entire essay.
And I hope the boys and girls down in the fusion centers read it too, so that they won’t be found clueless and amazed, as they were after Las Vegas.
“Social Concerns Meeting” ??????????????????
It is a FReaking game!
Stand at attention, honor the Flag and the National Anthem, go beat the crap out of one another, and quitcher bitchen!!!!
Can something boil over if it’s meaningless, characterless, and most don’t care?
