NFL 2024

More NFL Streaming Nonsense with Prime and Peacock

NFL will exclusively stream Brazil game, wild-card playoff matchup as part of 2024 schedule

There will come a time when fans will look back on this time and say "remember when you could watch football on network TV"?

 

[AugieTN]

Then the NFL will lose fans and the NFL will think the game is too long and they'll change the 15 minute quarters to 10 minute quarters. Then the NFL will think they need to make the game funny again, and they'll add a comedian to the broadcast booth again, and encourage more dancing in the end zone.

Then the NFL will be stumped as to why they are losing fans.

 

[olbriar]

Don't forget that it will be flag football.

 

[AugieTN]

Then the NFL will think flag football is too dangerous, and games will be played like the Pro Bowl with individual skills challenges.

why not just have the players engage in large scale Madden NFL video tournaments at the Sphere in Las Vegas, televised to the NFL Network for everyone to see. of course there may be a lot of repetitive strain injuries on hands and fingers so we'll have to have an IL for them...

 

[olbriar]

The only way to make the game 100% safe is to give the game to the team that wins the opening coin toss.

I still don't understand why they are having a game in Brazil

Exposure... potential paying fans!

On average, living in Brazil is significantly cheaper than living in the US. Numbeo estimates Brazil is 56.8% cheaper than the US for consumer prices without rent, and 71.5% cheaper when including rent. Variations: Costs vary significantly within both countries .Aug 26, 2023

How much does an American need to make to live comfortably in Brazil vs. The US?

LOL! I won't see the game. I don't have Peacock

I had Peacock to get the Chiefs playoff game but dropped it following the game.

I think that's clever but it's a stretch to call either QB garbage.

in other news: the Broncos have traded a 6th round pick to Jets for Zach Wilson, acquiring Aaron Rodgers' backup QB three seasons after the failed attempt to acquire Rodgers himself, leading to the current quagmire.

 

[AugieTN]

It's crazy how some of these players do great in college, but when they get to the NFL it doesn't work out. Zach Wilson was drafted in 2021 Round 1 Number 2 pick. Justin Fields also drafted in 2021 Round 1 Number 11 pick.

You never know. There have also been sleepers that achieved far more than expected.
Bart Starr was pick 199 in 1956
Roger Staubach pick 129 in 1964
Tom Brady pick 199 in 2000

Brock Purdy 2021's Mr Irrelevant

diverting to MLB : Albert Pujols was pick 402 in the 1999 13th round

I wonder if there will ever be another Bo Jackson?

 

[olbriar]

I saw Bo play at Arrowhead. They beat the Chiefs that day. The first play from scrimmage he went around the left side and ripped off twenty yards. The Chiefs' D looked like they were standing still. Bo was a beast! I'll never forget a banner in the stands, it read... Go Bo You Mo Fo!
