No big deal. Learn to laugh at yourself.
I could care less what he thinks ever since he ripped Detroit. He's not funny and it baffles me he has a job. He's worse than Nick Bakay which I didn't think was possible...Stepped away from the TV for a few minutes...what did he say?
He called Fantasy players "idiots."

It is interesting though that the NFL's half time entertainment would be a joke on a very large group of its fan base.lighten up francis.
it was schtick.
Don't know about that, I would bet there are WAY more people who watch that aren't in fantasy football. At least I know tons more people who won't play fantasy sports but watch football religiously.It is interesting though that the NFL's half time entertainment would be a joke on a very large group of its fan base.lighten up francis.

"At least I know tons more people"Smoo, you are wanted in this thread.Don't know about that, I would bet there are WAY more people who watch that aren't in fantasy football.

If 'schtick' means stupid & not funny you're right.lighten up francis.

I didn't say the largest group. Just a very large group and its growing all the time. I will also challenge that alot of those people you say wont play fantasy sports are actually people who have not played fantasy sports and will get into it in the future. And I challenge you that everyone of those people is friends with someone who plays fantasy sports.Don't know about that, I would bet there are WAY more people who watch that aren't in fantasy football.

Just about everyone I know who follows football plays fantasy also. I never thought what's-his-name was funny anyway. Adam Corolla (sp?) carried the show, IMO.Don't know about that, I would bet there are WAY more people who watch that aren't in fantasy football.

you post too much to really be into NFL games, me thinks...there are WAY more pure NFL fans (no FF) than FF players - WAY MORE.
But we are WAY more into the game.

yup - we take ourselves way too seriously.The NFL is just a game - and FF is even one more step below that in the "it's just a game" category.With the amount of angry rips on people in here, I would say Jimmy was correct on his rip at halftime, don't you agree?
you mean i can't have a tv in the same room as the 'puter?you post too much to really be into NFL games, me thinks...there are WAY more pure NFL fans (no FF) than FF players - WAY MORE.

Hmmm I keep seeing all of these posts on a fantasy football forum during a game. Me thinks the pot is calling the kettle black.People in fantasy football leagues getting miffed because a comedian makes fun of them.
Gee, I wonder why he thinks you're geeks/idiots.
last time i checked, kimmel works for an entertainment corporation, not the NFL.ABC pays the NFL to make broadcasts - the NFL benefits from FF, but I doubt ABC does.I don't care what Kimmel's apologists are going to say. You DON'T bite the hand that feeds you. Fantasy football is good for the NFL and they know it. The league should be pissed.
And if they knew about it, then they're a bunch of idiots.![]()
If I was upset or bothered by whatever it is he said, then you'd be correct. Instead I'm realizing more and more just how many "geeks" really do play fantasy football.Lighten up guys.Hmmm I keep seeing all of these posts on a fantasy football forum during a game.

Same corporation that owns ESPN so they obviously benefit a little bit. hahalast time i checked, kimmel works for an entertainment corporation, not the NFL.ABC pays the NFL to make broadcasts - the NFL benefits from FF, but I doubt ABC does.I don't care what Kimmel's apologists are going to say.

If I didn't play FF, I would likely only watch the Vikes on Sundays. However, since I have some stake in every game going, I'll watch as many games as I can. They get more viewers because of FF.How?only the NFL benefits from FF - the broadcast stations really don't.Same corporation that owns ESPN so they obviously benefit a little bit. hahalast time i checked, kimmel works for an entertainment corporation, not the NFL.ABC pays the NFL to make broadcasts - the NFL benefits from FF, but I doubt ABC does.I don't care what Kimmel's apologists are going to say.

am I missing something obvious?
if you removed the NFL, FF dies - if you removed FF, I'd still watch just as much NFL.
If you don't think the NFL has control over how their product is presented, then you don't have a very realistic view of what goes on behind the scenes.last time i checked, kimmel works for an entertainment corporation, not the NFL.ABC pays the NFL to make broadcasts - the NFL benefits from FF, but I doubt ABC does.I don't care what Kimmel's apologists are going to say.

My perspective is that the millions of people who play FF (including you and me) are paying customers of the NFL and the companies that sponsor ABC. Whatever business you're in, you don't ridicule your customer base. Hell, you don't ridicule even potential customers. That's just plain dumb.gato - the NFL has NO control over what comedy comes out of Kimmel's mouth.
Seriously, we need to back away from FF sometimes and gain some perspective (like I'm one to talk).
you are wrong - ABC/ESPN get their money from advertisers and from cable co.s - not from the NFL.They PAY the NFL to broadcast their games.My perspective is that the millions of people who play FF (including you and me) are paying customers of the NFL and the companies that sponsor ABC.
