For event broadcasting, yes - Comparing apples & oranges though...

With the advent of streaming et al media, folks now can choose to watch alternate entertainment on their schedule, not the same with event broadcasts...

The NFL has been king for two decades, but is now seeing decline in its numbers...

Meanwhile Ramz had another stellar season at RT. I guess it is sometimes true, "the best moves are the ones you don't make".

Oh, I get it. Just find it interesting that he's now a FA...

Funny how those most Bama guys wash out but those Louisiana State boys seems to find more success in the NFL - Keep signing with Bama!

This is the kind of guy I'd love to have backing up Taysom (if he is indeed Sean's guy)...

You think Taysom will be THE guy in 2021?

Twelve of the twenty most watched primetime shows in 2020 were NFL related.

As for a decline in numbers, ALL broadcast televised programming is on the decline with the advent of streaming. I know several people that watch all of their NFL content via stream, including both of my sons. One of them gave us a firestick for Christmas so I may be among those numbers soon.

JJ Watt is signing with the Cardinals.

Didn't see that one coming.

PFF predicts Marcus Williams will be in high demand.

Here was their quote …

Prediction: "Jaguars sign Williams for four years, $57M ($14.25M APY): $30M total guaranteed, $18.5M fully guaranteed at signing."

FWIW I hope the Saints can somehow retain Marcus for 2021. Kris Richard could take him to another level at FS.

Hopefully they find a way. If not potentially 3x 3rd round comp picks next year.

Terry Fontenot, Marcus Williams and T-Rex
Pretty useful for a team on a little rebuild for depth and cap savings.

Not sure, hearing about some locker room rumblings about players in certain camps...

Do I believe Taysom can be a viable starting QB in the league? Absolutely.

For a guy who hadn't taken snaps in four years, he was impressive; he got a case of the fumblelitis that he's got to skill correct, but Payton saw enough to believe he could be the starter.

Want no part of Jameis Winston; and if Bruce Arians, who's coached some pretty quarterbacks (i.e. - he knows quarterbacks) let Winston walk, that should be speaking volumes...
