Music to my ears. This league has dumped on its traditional fan base for years. I love it. I hope it continues right through the SB. Hit these losers in the wallets boys and girls.

Music to my ears. This league has dumped on its traditional fan base for years. I love it. I hope it continues right through the SB. Hit these losers in the wallets boys and girls.

How have they dumped on them?

I'm actually super inclined to agree with you...I just (honestly) don't know what you are talking about. Please give me some red meat to get outraged about. (Honest Injun.)

How about streaming playoff games. How about catering to fringe groups. How about ticket prices. How about flex times. How about those international games. How about forcing season ticket holders to pay big time for preseason games. How about the rule changes. How about TV blackouts for locals. How about jamming Taylor Swift down your throat. How about $17 beers. How about $12 hotdogs. How about ticket prices plus parking. How about doing everything they can to hurt the quality of the game for $$$ - Thursday night football. How about the kneeling. How about the moron analysts at ESPN and others. I could go on and on. The league has gotten far away from what made it special. They take the core fan base for granted. They shouldn’t.

• ABC/ESPN drew 32.7 viewers for Saturday’s Texans-Chiefs game. That was up from the 32.3 million viewers for last year’s Ravens-Texans game on ABC/ESPN in the same time slot. It’s somewhat surprising, though, that the increase in viewers wasn’t higher given what a ratings draw the Chiefs have become.

• Fox drew 33.6 million viewers on Saturday night for the Commanders' upset win against the Lions. The 49ers-Packers divisional round game in that same time slot on Fox last year drew 37.5 million viewers.

• NBC’s telecast of the Packers and Eagles on Sunday afternoon generated 37.8 million viewers. The Lions-Bucs game on NBC in that time slot last season drew 40.4 million viewers.

• In addition, last year’s Chiefs-Bills divisional round playoff game landed 50.4 million viewers. The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch reports that Sunday’s Ravens-Bills game drew around 43 million viewers.

I didn't watch much this past weekend. Was channeling flipping between the Lions game and NHL games but stuck mainly on hockey.
