Love it
Now do the Brees/Brady game....
People love the football. I don’t think it’s gonna be doing anything besides making absurd amounts of money for a loooong time.

It really is by far the most fan friendly, easy to watch, most entertaining from a TV viewing standpoint. My mom can watch and still kind of enjoy it and understand when it's a big 3rd down, get excited for a 60 yard bomb that goes for a TD, wince when a safety puts a hard lick on a receiver....and still not be able to name off 2/3rds of the names of each players position if asked...maybe 3/4....maybe 4/5.
I'm surprised the ratings weren't a lot lower.
Even 8% is a big enough decline (if it sticks which I doubt it will) to mess up their TV deals. The NFL is like any other business in that it needs a constant rate of growth to sustain itself. 8% less viewers winds up being billions less when they ink TV deals.
It could wind up hurting them but it probably won't. Like you said, people love football. I'm looking forward to watching the gophers but I won't be watching any NFL.
Hey, do you know why Iowa doesn't have an NFL team?
Because then MN would want one too.....
Going to be a long and very uninteresting season for vikings fans.
