They aren't involved in the decision in the nfl anymore are they? I thought the call was made in NY. No reason for the ref to saunter over to the sideline and squint into the Microsoft SurfaceTM. If we're gonna have to sit through this travesty, have Hochuli stand in the middle of the field and listen to his earpiece while Blandino says, "Uhhhnnn...incomplete."
Not a chance. First of all it doesn't take 25 minutes for a review. The issue is that the length of the game has increased by 6 minutes over the last 10 years. They've gotten a minute back this year. You just have forgotten how bad it used to be.
Obviously that was an exaggeration but these reviews are tedious and suck the soul out of the stadium. It's an awful experience.
That James review sure as heck felt like it. It went on so long the announcers started asking what was taking so long... THEN they went to advertisement, then they came back and we waited a bit longer.
Amen
Fixed.
James non catch was a pretty easy call. Nipsey is correct here. It took the announcers like ten replays before they saw the obvious so by then everybody had made up their mind.
Um, I didn't say that both sides don't suck. They do. Our government system is one big rotting pile of feces that no one is willing to do anything about because "the really bad guy might win". I hate our political system so damn much and I want it to die.
You are correct. You didn't say both sides don't suck. But twice now youv'e singled out only GOP members of your legislation for doing bad things. That's like listening to Rush Limbaugh and thinking, "Wow, those liberals do bad things, but obviously none of the conservatives do that dastardly stuff." The only reason, you in the news media, don't see it happening more from the left in your state, is probably because there are less of those in the left elected. If they had the majority and got more press, guess what they would be doing all the time? Politicians (not necessarily R's, D's, L's or C's) love them some splashy headlines.
Why do you think I'm disagreeing with you? I'm not. I already stated there's far less Democrats elected in my state. The mayor of South Bend is an openly-gay Democrat whose star has been on the rise since he came out three years ago and who is an expert at getting good press for himself.
That was what I was trying to say. Too many in our country point to other guys and say "You're inherently bad which is why I voted for the other guys," when in fact they also voted for the inherently bad. We all did unless you bothered voting third party which is the same as abstaining from the vote entirely.
oh crap! I did! Thank you for the correction. That puts the spotlight even brighter on the NFL then. I will edit my previous post to fix the mistake.
lol ratings are still ridiculously huge. They will bend the networks over like they do every time.
from the article posted
yeah the NFL still has great numbers respective to other shows.
just to note, ad rates are not set solely on total number of viewers, they are also strongly influenced by demographics.
Oh, I know. That's partly why I compared those two in addition to the # of viewers, as I'd guess NCIS' demo skews a bit older
I would guess the average NFL viewer age is up there as well. Youngins don't have much interest in the NFL.
here is some information. Scroll down for a chart. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-sports-with-the-oldest-and-youngest-tv-audiences-2017-06-30
When are the contracts up? TV is so different, and who knows what's in store for the future. It will be interesting.

Sunday Night Football was the most watched program last year. It was ahead of the Walking Dead which is most likely losing even more viewers than the NFL. Game of Thrones has big numbers but I think that show works a little different since you can watch it on the TV station or on any streaming device as long as you pay for HBO. Sunday Night Football is almost always watched live on TV and is still the most watched show. THAT'S HUGE.
Yea. Everybody watching is over 80. Sure their commercials are almost worthless. Just allows cbs to do that #1 network shtick.
They probably leave their TVs on CBS while they are visiting their grandkids across town.
I agree w/ the old people comment, but its like the 50+ demo... baby boomers. A key demographic for advertisers.
And my post was pretty much anti-politics, so it doesn't belong in that forum at all, but I get your meaning. I'm done here.GregR said:
