And a Christmas eve game is always hard to sell out, but I got tickets for under $50, there in a great viewing location, and there were some that were $13. I can do that a couple of times a year. And it's ONE HELL OF A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE that what I was spending for tickets from 2001-2007 when I was a STH. With my hockey team's schedule the per-game route is shit-tons better.

I honestly think it's more to do with contracts with foodservice vendors than anything. Who wants their people, trucks, grills out in the elements when they have a captive audience inside. With the tents they have somewhat done the same thing on a smaller scale...

I once wondered if the NFL adopting something like relegation would help improve the shitass owners, but I have a feeling it would encourage teams to play and seek out QB talent in the most bitchmade way possible so that they don't drop out of the league

I'd have to see that w/ 32 teams? No, I don't think so, yet I'm not a big fan of worst gets the best either.

Unfortunately I don't think there's a damn thing we can do. The best option might be for Jerry Jones to win the argument to have less revenue sharing. It would hold owners more accountable for building their own fan base instead of relying on the cowboys to make money for them. Maybe some owners starting to approach the red will force a few ownership changes. As long as you keep the salary cap and floor, I don't think it will impact parity. I would have worried about owners using that as an excuse to try to move the team to a different city but now that LA is filled, I don't see that happening.

We have the draft instead, and it's a better system because it gives every fanbase some semblance of hope for the future. For the majority of fanbases in Europe, merely avoiding relegation in their country's top league is their championship. That's pretty sad.

Overturns like this in the NE game aren't going to help. How that gets turned around is beyond me. I would be out of my mind if I was a Bills fan.

NFL is king and people will always hate. Fox sports southwest televised every Texas state Championship football game at Jerry World. Football rules!

Raiders sideline reporter and former tackle Lincoln Kennedy on anthem protests:
If there was one thing that I think had some underlining effects but I don’t know how — it’s just a feeling, it’s just a gut-wrench feeling — the whole anthem controversy, I think, affected (the team) mentally,” Kennedy said in an interview with Bay Area radio station 95.7 The Game. “I think it affected people. And in a sense that, not so much that you heard the rumors about, ‘Well, we’re not doing this because he’s not with us. It was an unnecessary distraction that warranted so much coverage and so much questions you couldn’t necessarily focus on football. “Everybody wanted to know why is Marshawn Lynch sitting down. Everybody wanted to know is he protesting or what is he protesting. Everybody wanted to know how unanimously the team is going to protest — are they gonna stand together. “Look, if I was in that locker room, I would be the first one to tell them ‘I’m not here to talk about that, I’m here to talk about football — the Kansas City Chiefs, the Denver Broncos, give me a football related question. Don’t ask me about the anthem or social consciousness. And I think that was something that wore, not just on the Raiders, but on a number of teams.” https://apple.news/ApN8-Uej0SWe_ldkJht6Fqg |

How many people would have been interested in attending a game on New Years Eve with the temps we are going to have across the country this weekend? Probably a very smart move on the part of the NFL that has nothing to do with ratings. |
