Date: November 17th, 2025 12:20 PM Author: Deranged amber lodge Same w college football: the amount of stoppage of play is fucking unbearable. People say baseball is slow but football is constant stop and start for 4 hours w endless penalties. Guarantee they add another 2 min warning at the end of the first and third quarters to squeeze in more commercials (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5799206&forum_id=2/#49438054) |

These people are pushing viewers to the breaking point imo. Nobody under 40 has the attention span for this (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5799206&forum_id=2/#49438076) |

It's nice that the Chiefs are middling but it's not good that the Bills are a game and a half behind the Pats |

Date: November 17th, 2025 2:39 PM Author: primrose titillating new version forum I haven't watched much NFL in years. Saw a commercial recently about an NFL game in Brazil (or some other South American country.) And I remember hearing they now do a game or two in Germany every year for some reason.
I end up sounding like a communist, but is there really a need to endlessly grow the sport. It's a fucking legalized monopoly with unbelievable cash flow. But I suppose it has to be stretched to its limit until it breaks.
The contracts are also completely out of control now. $50m a year to play QB and it's basically illegal to get tackled anymore.
People always joked that the game was basically just a bunch of standing around and commercials, but it's basically the case now. I keep thinking ratings will take a hit, but people really are cattle. |

Date: November 17th, 2025 2:16 PM Author: onyx fluffy pit idea he suggested It's lame that there's not an easy way to watch all the games of your team if you don't live in the area. I used to have a Slingbox but those don't work anymore. Airtv is seemingly a thing I should try but I haven't yet.
I feel like there's got to be a way to start a business similar to Aereo but technologically distinguished enough to get around the SCOTUS ruling on them. Like, if I operate a sever colocation facility in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and my customers happen to attach an HDTV tuner and antenna to their server (which theoretically could enable them to watch all Packer games for free), how the fuck am I engaging in copyright infringement? I'm just a server colo biz |

Date: November 17th, 2025 11:06 PM Author: Provocative ungodly death wish I think the problem is pretty clearly that they had a great product, and they increased the amount of games to meet that product - but the games aren't good because:
(i) lack of elite QBs. 4 years ago you had Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Josh Allen, Matt Ryan, Stafford, all playing at an elite level. I don't think any of those QBs are playing better this year
(ii) the "best" team is probably the Eagles, but they're horrific to watch and the tush push is almost as annoying as Kaepernick at this point
(iii) storylines suck. Belichik and Brady are gone. Cowboys are bad. Giants and Jets suck. Chiefs are bad and everyone is annoyed by them. no elite WRs or truly elite RBs
(iv) the new kicking rules suck. game seems too random and comebacks to cheap when the offense gets the ball almost in range of a 60 yard field goal, which any kicker can make

Date: November 17th, 2025 11:25 PM Author: Khaki soggy tank base CR, except re: (iv), I don't mind the 'dynamic kickoff' or whatever the fuck they're calling it. (I grew up an avid baseball fan, and in the 90s/00s, that sport was absolutely paralyzed by traditionalists unwilling to allow any obviously needed changes. So I'm generally pro-change.)
I'll modify the point and say that the **FG** kicking game has gotten way too good. Time to narrow the uprights or some shit. |
