The market is correcting itself...and you can only sell a polished dog turd for so long.

This is ****ing stupid.
The NFL decided NOT to FLEX a game Sunday evening because it's NEW YEAR'S EVE.
Seven out of Eight divisions are locked up. It would have been dumb to FLEX a game to 8:30pm EST/5:30pm PST on a night when most people are either throwing a party or going to a party and not watching football.
The ratings stay higher by airing the games in their original slots than on New Year's Eve.

Sure, that's why millions of people all over the country pay those prices. And by "deserves", are you talking about the $2.5 billion dollar Verizon deal that was recently signed?
Your flair for the dramatic is quite impressive.
