Bad news.

Making plans to travel to a Sunday game then having it moved from say 425 to 820 isn't terrible....but moved to Monday night is a major difference.

Jerry is slowly making me not want to do it anyway lol.

I don't think the NFL cares about visiting fans.

The owners are headed to the soup kitchens as I write this. Booger has been helping the Salvation Army for all these years, time for them to lend a helping hand to him

Will more Cowboys games go behind paywalls?

Am I missing Directv? What are they paying to keep the Sunday Ticket racket going?

No mention of Sunday NFL Ticket. I guess they are still working on that deal with ESPN.

Maybe the NFL wants to do their own streaming deal. They should. Should improve NFL Replay too.

IMO, the league just robbed the networks. They couldn't get ratings for Mahomes v. Brady in the Super Bowl. They've alienated a lot of fans who aren't coming back. Core fans.

Gonna ride that horse until it dies, eh? Let's be honest. Most of those foot-stamping drama queens never left and what the networks paid tells you all you need to know about what they think about people actually holding to "principles" they announce out loud. These network people are the best of those that study human nature and they know most who chest pound like that are full of it, trying to convince themselves they're significant in some way. This is no different than people on these boards swearing up and down to ignore the biased, slanted sports media and yet can't wait to post a thread here about how pissed they are about what they said. Lol.

It's like that famous moment in Ken Burns' doc on Prohibition where the cops are taking the axes to the liquor barrels in the streets and there's that hobo, drinking the rotgut as it pours into the storm drains.

Desperation isn't always pretty my friend.

Yeah, people said they wouldn’t watch and ratings went down but they were lying. It’s every other reason except the one people are admitting to.

Amazon sneaking in there...to try a takeover soon or later.

Maybe they can ship quality FAs to Jerry’s house now.

The death of Directv.....a day long remembered.

Thanks. That decreases the projection from $60M to $50M that can be potentially added to the salary cap just accounting for this one increase in revenue.

Also don't forget what is still owed to the cap. They're still borrowing from future caps. They didn't take it all back for 2021. Had they done so, I think the cap this year would be around 150m instead of the 182.5m.

I'm trying to remember the poster that was absolutely adamant that the TV deals were not going up and that they would have "outs" in their contracts and ridiculed several here over this topic.
Not to call him out, but wondering what he's thinking right about now.

Are people cutting the cord in droves?
Are streaming services increasing on the other side of that?
Don't know how illegal streams can be measured but are those increasing?

These deals are what they are because networks want to reach people (potential consumers), period. If the people are significantly less then the deal increases would probably reflect that, wouldn't they? What was the percent increase of these deals versus the percent increase of the previous deals? If this these recent ones have slowed like ratings have, you might be on to something but even then you'd have to account for if the network ratings migrated to the streams or not. But let's stick with the percent increase of the deals. Did they slow down?

Not sure many of the "I hope the NFL dies" crowd will be frequenting this thread. But we'll hearing threats about it for the next 10 years I bet. Lol.

"But, but, but the NFL is gonna burn. Lotsa people I know aren't watching anymore."

CBS – from $1.03B to $1.85B
Fox – from $1.13B to $2.03B
NBC – from $950M to $1.71B
ESPN – from $1.98B to $2.55B
TNF – from $600M to $1.32B (Amazon instead of Fox)

How 'bout them apples? LOL

This means very very little in terms of ratings. It is a fact that ratings dropped. We also know that Gen Z isn't as interested in sports as other generations. This is incredibly short-sighted and this cable networks getting the gasp before they die off.

Also stretching out NFL games online to multiple different streaming services will be a poor way to go in the long run as well.
