In Bradys first live game as a broadcaster, Fox averaged 23.93 million viewers.
This isnota blog about the NFL having a revenue problem - again far from it.
(That’s actually inflated a tad.
What thisisa blog about, is about the NFL’s actual “product”.
It flat out stinks.
This first month of football seriously feels like were watching preseason.
I think it’s because nobody actually plays in theactualpreseason, or takes it seriously anymore.
Through three weeks, look where we’re at with that.
Because it’s all banged up and on the injured list.
Theres almost zero carryover week to week.
I think a lot of it has to do with how abysmal the quarterback play has been overall.
I mean look at the league “leader” stats.
Stats don’t lie.
Maybe he’s not wrong?
Personally, I think it’s a combination of everything mentioned.
When you really think about it, how many “good” coaches are there in the NFL today?
you’re able to count on one hand right?
And the bad ones aren’t just bad.
They are fucking atrocious.
The officiating has never been worse.
The amount of penalties, combined with how ticky-tack they are, makes it almost unwatchable.
So what’s the solution?
I don’t know to be honest.
- I think I kind of love this idea?
