Shouldn’t be playing on Sunday, anyway, as it’s the Sabbath.

We didn’t watch tonight, but saw on the news that the Ravens beat the Dolphins 40-0, so few will miss seeing such dreary games.

I don’t think the NFL understands how insulting they are to most Americans.

[bluejean]

I had the pre-show on for about 15 min, they had changed it up from talking about the GAME to endless plugs for how various players are “giving back” to various causes. Kudos back and forth, wow, they’re so great. Mixed with manic silliness and music. I changed the channel. Libs have co-opted the game completely to make it a SJW parade.

To hell with the NFL.

Nothing kills a bad product like great advertising.

[willk]

That’s funny. I’m over-saturation with all this social justice crap!

[datricker]

It must be weird for these players when they encounter normal Americans and they get treated with the contempt they deserve. Hey players you are detested now like Isis. American hating bigots. They know they can’t respond or its all over the media.

I didn’t even remember the game tonight until I read this. Shows how my interest in the NFL has waned.

TV network executives are scrambling to solve the NFL ratings decline . . .

How can they fix it when they are clueless on what is causing the problem? It's a shame former fans have not mentioned what the real problem is.

Even die hard dindu watching nfl fanboys and fangirls would be hard pressed to watch those two assemblages of fat grab assers.

Miasma and Baltiless. - I'm sure it was another meaningless "barnburner"

The NFL might succumb to pressure from the Blacks to reinstate the likes of Kaepernick and other ungrateful overpaid players but they cannot force decent patriotic the watch the NFL games. Poor viewership means the companies will not buy expensive air time.

[DaveA37]

Personally, I could care less if there were NO TV football games on TV at all. I have zero interest in watching any of those actors pretending to be athletes. The overpaid, self important wannabes, who have been pampered their entire lives because they have one marketable asset and now think the world is against them can take a hike off a short pier. Want something worth watching? Try the "History" or the "Smithsonian" channels, even the cooking channels are better than watching the NFL crybabies. Until they get hit hard enough in their pocket books, they will continue their whiney ways. Lets see who can hold out the longest. I'm in!

ESPN is planning another round of layoffs just six months after the network fired more than 100 employees, Sporting News reports.

Multiple sources told the sports news site that 40 to 60 people including on-air talent and radio personalities may be sent packing.

The layoffs could come as soon as late November or early December.

ESPN declined Fox News’ request for comment.

Sign of panic- NFL commercials several times an evening on stations. I never remember seeing so many commercial ads for NFL.

NFL owners and their pets live in a liberal elite bubble... so out of touch with the country it’s breathtaking...
