Listen, Beast. You said viewership would be down. I agreed early in the season that would be the case. It became clear that streaming and people opting out of broadcast TV because of the COVID issues became apparent. I have not disputed that issue at all. I have shared that numerous times through this season while you have been hiding. But, what I have maintained is that the NFL remains the #1 draw on all of TV and consistently capture 7 of the top 10 viewed shows every week during the season. That's why the networks are going to bid for record high contracts coming up. It has already been shared that FOX will most likely increased their annual contract from $1.2 billion to $2 billion.

I based it off one metric; fantasy football participation was down. Most of them were saying they were down 20%. Just that alone it was going to drop before the season even started. Nothing to do with the China virus, BLM. None of that. Just this one metric. Why was it down? I do not know, assuming the virtue signaling but I was not basing it off that stance at all.

I will say, it does look like the NFL dragged everyone through the virtue signaling as fast as they could then kicked over the tent immediately. None of that going on now. Horrible business course of action. Leave that stuff off the field where it belongs. Why we have to keep learning this lesson I do not know but sports does not mix with other aspects of society. People want to escape those aspects for a few hours. I don't want to see my work problems showcased to me on the weekend..meh. It would drive me insane.

Each their own Guido, but I can’t disagree with this statement strongly enough.

Re: Don’t think I’m gonna watch!

F this... EVERY SINGLE NFC SOUTH TEAM but us has been to the Super Bowl in the last 5 years. Buccaneers look like they’re going to win their 2nd SB because KC’s defense is garbage.

Not to mention these ridiculous calls in Brady’s favor.

Re: Don’t think I’m gonna watch!

The PI against Mathieu in the end zone was absolute garbage. There was no hold and the ball was overthrown by 10 yards.

Re: Don’t think I’m gonna watch!

If KC is gonna come back in this game they need to learn how to play against the Zebras. We have a little experience on this subject.

Re: Don’t think I’m gonna watch!

This sucks. Tampa is going to win their second SB in their own house. We are such failures.

Re: Don’t think I’m gonna watch!

Game over. I really hoped for KC and Mahommes. Oh well.
3 rd, I am no longer watching.

Some of the Commercials were fairly entertaining..
