Mike hates the nfl so much and wants to avoid on field nfl talk that he actually mentioned the NBA in his opening:lolbron:

He is right though. The NFL is over saturating their product

The Thursday night game every single week was an awful idea.

MNF is trash and ESPN is paying the most for their game

SNF is pointless.

It's like they know it won't always be this good with business so they are grabbing for as much as they can

Fantasy sports and gambling alone will keep the NFL the premier league for as long as i`ll be alive.

NFL is just bettter suited for American culture, face it. There are only 16 games, so the fan only has to watch once a week. It is best suited for advertisters as there are much more breaks in the game and the history of the game has a hold of the fans in a deep way.

Add to that the spectacle of the Super Bowl, it's just delusional to think the NFL will ever have a "downfall". I never said it couldn't lose popularity though. It can lose popularity by 15% and still be crushing other sports leagues.

And if you want to bring up danger, boxing, race car driving and UFC are plenty dangerous. I get the idea of parents not letting their kids play the game though, I can see it losing some popularity due to that.

Also, I can't see anything overcoming the sport. I think MLB, NHL and NBA are all tapped out at this point, I don't think they'll get bigger than they are, just can't see it happen.

Exactly, football is the perfect cash cow. American consumerism on crack. Popularity is through the roof and there's just so much money to be made that it's hard to see it's downfall. And just think, they are still trying to make that push into London/Europe.

Baseball is still very popular and may be the only other sport that can somewhat compete with it, but that's only if it finds a way to rejuvenate interest among the young urban crowd. Maybe if they get a new commissioner it might happen...

Mike's talking about the Sunday night song sung by Carrie Underwood. And that Thursday night song is probably the worse sports intro I've ever, ever heard (it's like it came straight from the Disney Channel, how dafuq that's supposed to hype you up for a football game? Oh that's right, it goes hand in hand with the powder-puff crap Goodell is pushing to the fans) and that Hindu broad looks like she produces some funky ass smells upon reaching the point of perspiration :lolbron:


Nah breh..that broad is fine and I like the song.

Be glad some of you are not Cowboy fans. Because we have 3 SNF games a year. I HATE THEM. Absolutely HATE them. I'd rather play at 4:00 every SunDAY. I won't even touch my hatred of MNF games.
