I am certainly NO fan of espn and especially not the nfl. - I posted this as further confirmation of my prediction that sometime in the future ALL NFL games will be pay per view only. - It's gonna happen.

ESPN ruins everything.

[God luvs America]

Insane as the NFL enjoyed the NFL Network as they were able to control it and the broadcasting. No more

I’ve gotten to the point where I watch the Red Zone channel more than any other channel for NFL football, during the season, a lot of games come down to the last few minutes of the game, on the Red Zone you don’t miss a play because they will show multiple games at one time on a split screen.

If you wager on the NFL or play fantasy football the Red Zone channel is the way to go.

Interesting. Any chance this has to do with Disney difficulties?

I predicted PPV for the Super Bowl but not regular season games, but you’re probably correct.

And when it does, demand and the fans will go down also.

“ALL NFL games will be pay per view only. - It’s gonna happen.”

and that’s when the Golden Goose will die ... there are just so many other competing forms of entertainment, and folks have limited time and money for entertainment ... not to mention that NFL football has become even more boring than pro basketball, pro golf, pro baseball, and pro hockey ...

**ALL NFL games will be pay per view only. - It’s gonna happen.**
I don’t think so. The NFL has been at the public trough for too long. People will not put up with it. Think Trump would allow it? What about the anti-trust rule that allows no competition?

**If you wager on the NFL or play fantasy football the Red Zone channel is the way to go.**
That’s like a baseball game with 9 designated hitters. It’s the ebb and flow that turns fans on.

When will ESPN not only own The NFL network, but the NFL itself?

[Tell It Right]

Food for thought. College football last had a total of 154 billion minutes viewed. Evidently there's still a lot of people wanting to watch a less woke version of football than the NFL. I couldn't find how that compares to total minutes of NFL football.

Give them to spread out the games over even more of their pay channels. Pisses me off.

[Biblebelter]

The NFL now has a stake in ESPN.

ESPN owns and operates a gambling concern called ESPN BET.

A professional sports league in a partnership with bookies?

That STINKS.

“Take a knee” NFL.

[discostu]

No they won’t. There’s no way they’d make anywhere near the money they’re making on the TV deals ($10 billion this year). And this shows it. This move says the NFL isn’t making as much money as they want on their self owned TV offerings, and they don’t think it’ll translate to the streaming enough to make it worth their while to spin up their own streaming. ESPN on the other hand has the infrastructure in place, can run the NFL Network for cheaper than the NFL can, and spread the programming around. And of course with ESPN+ they’ve already got the streaming thing set.

This is problematic. I thought ESPN was the SEC network. Or am I confusing networks?

Too many egos chasing the same money tree. Not that it matters. Disney owns ESPN, so I suppose the SEC and NFL can save on the Pride Month stuff. Synergies, you know.

Subscribe to the groomer network to watch the SEC and NFL? How’s that for a business plan?

[wardamneagle]

NFL is totally woke bringing in Disney/ESPN.

[Hammerhead]

The title of this post be any more confusing?

[Mathews]

Well, this will work out just fine. /s/
