Attendance is at record highs.

The networks are taking it on the chin.

I was under the impression that attendance was down. Well down.
But then again those numbers come from varying sources.

They ain't gettin any of my money and it's not shown in my house. Bout the best I can do.

Ticket sales are at record highs.

The ticket brokers are taking it on the chin.

I dare say pretty much every NFL ticket was sold (except for the LA Rams at home), but the ones that were not sold to season ticket holders went to ticket brokers, who try to re-sell them at a premium.

Until the league pulls something like this.

A lot of brokers are sitting on a lot of tickets they can't give away. Just look at the number of empty seats at a typical NFL game. All those empty seats have been sold, and every one represents a loss to a ticket broker.

Of course, I have no problem with that, either. A pox on both their houses.

Attendance is a lagging indicator.

Attendance next year is on the line _now_.

Many of us will remember this the rest of our lives and permanently boycott the league.

Some will return.

But—the NFL glory days are over.
