Nope, folks having a hard time watching NFL games through the tears caused by all those burning Air Jordans.

TV ratings, in the traditional sense, have dropped across the board with the "cord cutters" viewing no longer being measured by traditional means. However, the NFL share of measured viewers is higher than ever.
I find this hard to believe.
I used to watch everything NFL related. Nowadays, if it isn't Packers, I have no interest in the league.
FF is just not my thing, never will be.
it all starts with Fantasy....
I still like the NFL, not as much as I once did, but still like it. One thing that's probably affected me a little bit, the near perfection of the Green Bay Packers from late 2010 - late 2011. Once you see that level of play, as a fan you always want to see it again, and it's something we might never see again in GB. It's like chasing a high that you can never quite duplicate.
You are talking about the offense.. The most perfect I have seen them is 2014. Too bad they f'ed it up against Seattle.
Before I had kids I watched every game, now I DVR the Packer game and watch it after Bob the Builder.
Which, as I suspected, means Colin Kaepernick caused me to have children.
Gut the Builder is the show I am interested in.
That comes on right after Beer the Gut Builder, right?
I already have that, just occasional maintenance needed now.

Pull out your calculator and punch in what percentage of the population you are.
For example, seven of the ten highest-rated broadcasts last year were NFL games. That's a share the league has never had.

And expanded straight gambling. Let's face it, football betting is HUGE.
Teams have to use preseason games for player evaluation now more than ever because there are so few full contact practices allowed.
Mandate rugby tackling, remove the bell ringing, revise the CBA.
Oh, my. I agree with Henry.
The current CBA has been a disaster for players and the game from the start. And tackling just has to improve or the game will become, not extinct, but it will continue to shrink in number of players, etc.

My wife is still shocked every season that I no longer want Sunday ticket. Football just ainât what it used to be...at least, to me.

I was trying to weigh the benefit of pony up cash and I found none. When I did have the streaming service, it was about as good as those streams out of Europe. But hey, I got to pay a few hundred dollars for it.

I have had the ticket for 4 yrs, I usually threaten to cancel and they give me about half off. Last year they did not include the Red Zone and I was pissed. I called up yesterday expecting the same charade with even less bennies. Knock me over with a feather......they gave it to me for FREE, included RZ and the fantasy channel and took 60 dollars off my monthly bill for a year.
Yup, free. They said I am a good and valued customer whom they treasure. I asked a couple of times what strings were attatched and it appears to be on the up and up.
A friend of mine just went thru the same thing with Sirius Radio, he got it for 37 dollars opposed to the reg charge of approx 230.
The satelitte companies must be in a bind, hoping that we remaining customers will think of them with good will and will keep re upping.
We do this thing in the neighborhood where every week we follow the game on the ESPN live Gameday feature and then after the play we recreate the play to its authenticity in the back yard. We usually have one guy video record our recreation on his camera, and then after we are done we watch all of our recreations as it was a live game. It saves on $ and keeps me in shape so I donât have to get a gym membership. Thinking about posting on YouTube.
Iâm usually Rodgers.
With some of the possible 5G tech coming out, I bet they are scared. Unless everyone starts getting cancer.

Say Hi to Danica for me
Come on man.
Better idea. Recreate the top 10 plays in Packer history and post those.
Starr sneak. Favre to Sharpe in Detroit. Rodgers to Cobb in Chicago. Lombardi sweep. Freeman âHe did what!?!?!?â Rodgers to Cook in Dallas. Upon further review.
What else???
Iâll give you 250 takes for anyone to recreate Rodgers throw to Jennings on 3rd and 10 in Dallas. In the words of Fortune in Rudy. It ainât gonna never happen!
The first Lambeau Leap. The "Thriller" in the "We want the ball and we're going to score" game. Desmond Howard's TD return in SB31.
I did the Seattle NFFCG the day after and spent the next 2 years in purgatory.
How soon we forget.....Janis!
Did that one , but hit my head on an oak tree during the re-enactment.
