“According to the NFLPA memo, if the league’s TV revenues increase by 60%, the players’ share of revenue increases to 48.5%. That share can climb as high as 48.8% if the league’s TV revenues increase by 120% or more...”
Is there any reason to think THIS is gonna happen? Haven’t ratings gone down the last two years?
No idea. The deal passed with a very slim majority of votes, so it certainly didn’t have huge support.
NFL is international now
Rating came up significantly last year. And even during the dip NFL still has the best rating around. Live sports are the only thing keeping cable TV alive, and NFL ratings eclipse everybody else. All the contracts they renewed during the dip more than doubled. The main contract come up for renewal next year. 120% increase is very achievable.
Or maybe after we’re done with this, people will realize they really don’t miss it all that much.
She parachuted down from a C-130 at 15,000 feet, came in over the Superdome and landed on the field just short of the stage. She pumped her fist a couple times to a roaring crowd, shed her flight suit and leaped to the stage to grab a guitar and proceeded to play this song right here.
Was this a strange dream or not?
I doubt it. Sports is the safe haven, it’s where life is fun and things don’t really matter. I think everybody’s rating will be up when we get back to normal.
The Left ruined Sports, just like everything else they touch.
Sports talk. They really didn’t hit actual telecasts of games very much. And with the ratings dips they’re backing off on what they did.
Why not have a 32 team playoff.
WTF?
The Bengals will be invited to Hallmark Channel’s Kitten Bowl where they will be two touchdown underdogs, er... undercats
Along with the Jaguars and Lions …….
I kept looking for “Babylon Bee” somewhere in the story. Nickelodeon? Really?
“Scheduled re-runs of Spongebob Squarepants will be interrupted so that we may bring you the following sports presentation...”
(followed by whiny f-bombs from a generation of crumb-crunchers and their parents)
They should put the playoffs on Bravo: “Look, Brucie! It’s a bunch of men in tight pants and shoulder falsies! Ooh, and they’re hitting each other!”
That would require 8 games on the opening weekend. I suppose it’s doable...maybe 1 game Thursday or Friday night and another Monday night, with 3 on Saturday and Sunday...
All this is is one more wildcard in each conference and so the second seed gets no bye.
This is proof that the deadly O’BrienVirus has spread to NFL headquarters. The illness is marked by excessive cursing and an inclination to make incredibly boneheaded decisions such as going for it on 4th down in your own territory while ahead by 24 points or trading your best receiver for a washed up running back with a bloated contract.
