Panthers/Dolphins MNF was 4th Worst Rated Game in 10 Years

NBA is slippin.. Should've had the Knicks/Cavs -- Clipps/Sixers double header on NBA TV at least. No need to concede Monday nights to the NFL anymore.

Giants Niners game rating must have really been bad

This is what happens when you over saturate the market with your product.

The NFL just doesn’t feel special anymore

Watch the NFL try to either expand those London games to more four games a year or add another country

get rid of thursday night football and maybe do a monday night doubleheader every 2-3 weeks. not much you can do to ensure quality games when you have one standalone game and theres no flex options, and the teams are determined months before the season starts. at least if you have 2 once in a while it increases the odds of a good game or at least an intriguing matchup

when the schedule's made FOX & CBS get to protect a certain game each week, then NBC gets next dibs. The only playform ESPN picks ahead of is TNF.

CBS and Fox just flexed two games too

And I got 50 on them learning the wrong lesson from all this and adding Saturday games.

They have laws preventing this but point taken

Other than week 1, you’ll never see MNF doubleheaders. I don’t care how nice a football team is, that 2nd game has to be a West Coast team and it has to start at 10:30 ET. No one out east will know or care what happened.

I could see ESPN putting MNF back on ABC in the next TV deal just to get better games and to be in the next Super Bowl rotation.
