Wow! Pre JJ (Jerry Jones), I never missed a Cowboys game and attended many. God Bless Tom Landry and Roger Staubach, Bob Lily and Emmett Smith, to name just a few of my “football” heroes back then!

Post JJ, I have NEVER seen a full Cowboys game on TV or been to a Cowboys game. Then there is pond scum, hate America, Roger Goodell who loves to rub LGBTQ bs in the face of 65% of Americans even though only 3.4% of those polled say they are queer, then there’s the hair hanging down to the asses of many players as they run down the field, then there’s the scum bag owners and I’m sure I could name a few more.

Wow, 9.6 billion for a scumbag team from a growing, hate America, LGQBT, communist town. Now I know whey I’m reminded of why I have not had a TV in my house in 20 years.

“Now I know whey I’m reminded of why I have not had a TV in my house in 20 years.”

I ditched cable 7 years ago and my TV got killed by voltage fluctuations. You tube is killing!!! cable these days. And more watch it on televisions than on computers and phones.

You are spot on—YouTube has officially taken over the living room. According to the latest Nielsen and platform data, TV screens have surpassed mobile phones and computers as the number one device for YouTube watch time in the U.S.

While people still click on more individual videos on their phones, they “lean back” and watch for much longer when they are on the couch.

The breakdown of how and where people are watching highlights this shift:

The U.S. Watch-Time BreakdownConnected TVs (Smart TVs, Rokus, Consoles): ~36% – 42% of total watch hours. Globally, people watch over 1 billion hours of YouTube on TV screens every single day.

Mobile Phones & Tablets: ~35% – 40% of watch hours. (Though mobile still dominates short-form content like YouTube Shorts, pulling in about 70% of total individual views).

Computers/Desktops: ~15% – 20% of watch hours. This is mostly reserved for tech tutorials, office viewing, or productivity niches.

Why TV is WinningBinge Watching: The average YouTube session on a TV screen is over 45 minutes, compared to just 20 minutes on a smartphone. People are treating it exactly like traditional cable.

Long-Form Content: Over half of all YouTube watch time now goes to videos that are 20+ minutes long, which naturally favor the big screen.

App Upgrades: YouTube redesigned its TV app specifically so viewers can read descriptions and scroll through comments on the side of the screen without interrupting the video. Additionally, its standalone cable-replacer, YouTube TV, now has over 8 million paid subscribers, dealing an extra blow to traditional cable companies.

Used to be a staunch Cowboys fan. Jerry Jones was a disappointment, and when he knelt with the team during the National Anthem, they lost me. I quit watching football. Watch the Superbowl sometimes if the wife has it on, and I am passing through the room. Dont miss the prima donnas, and the BS at all.

I have a TV set & certain programs I watch, but the sports stuff, NFL, etc. is never part of it. I find it completely boring
