There will be changes, including some of which we have been advocating for YEARS now.
It did not have to come to this, but hey, past management have NOT been listening and current management have not either, but they will finally now and for 2027.
Should they listen to most fans including especially those fanboys? Oh hell no.
But certain things, such as start of season and length of games and quit interrupting with creepy sideline interviews and well, a better overtime format that does not involve an explanation of who wins for several minutes on national TV after 3.5 hours on air, you bet.
Pretty fun halftime show and Wale put legit effort into it. Surprising amount of people still coming through the gate at halftime. Mike Repole just came over and chugged (well gently drank) a beer 50 feet away from me. Football on a beautiful April afternoon, how can people hate on this??
Now if they can only rinse and repeat this experience across the board, and itâs going to be a while, as well as fix some of these rules and the pace of the game for the viewing experience on screen, but carry on now, this sounds like a great time for sure!
I donât think the league can afford any more gaffes like last night, whatever the intent and now a few excuses we are hearing from the apologists, as otherwise the matter amongst fans of spring football who are not fanboys has lit social media ablaze.
Iâm sure some executives at Fox have heard the heat even though itâs not a prime product for Fox Sports.
And I believe that those who think fans will forget that bush-league ending with a lengthy corporate explanation are mistaken too, for many who saw that last night are already tuning out for the season.
Sceptical? Watch the ratings in the coming weeks, assuming they are disclosed.
Maybe some will watch now simply of course to see another train wreck, so there is that in the leagueâs favour I suppose, but nope, many are not going for such gimmicks and HORRIBLE ways to end games like that one and goofy rules.
On Sunday on ABC we have the Masters opposite the action on CBS or otherwise, so the numbers for the ratings should be interesting.
Week 4 to me will be do or die for this season, but hey, one can always bail and then simply wait for the playoffs if things are not improved.
This rule has been in place for 3 years and Memphis lost on the exact same penalty last year. Me thinks youâre making a mountain out of a molehill. Google trends are crushing last week as we speak.
And you are trying obviously very hard to downplay the matter that SUCKS, but oh well, ânothing to see hereâ if you will, okay.
But itâs great to see the rebound in DC with the action and scene today, but that does not mean there are not flaws that must be corrected and only given lip service like that example you shared.
Google trends are helpful, but they are never the whole story with media and entertainment, and you know better.
Letâs go to attendance and rankings for whatever public information is at hand, and of course privately the advertising rates for the broadcasters will tell them the financial story, even though the league is a loss leader in the aggregate.
This Argos fan is happy
