Mark Cuban: "The NFL is 10 years away from an implosion."

http://espn.go.com/dallas/nba/story/...away-implosion

Quote:
Cuban: With TV deal, NFL is 'hoggy'
By Tim MacMahon | ESPNDallas.com


DALLAS - Mark Cuban, the outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner, predicts a drastic decline in the popularity of the NFL over the next decade due to the league's greed.

"I think the NFL is 10 years away from an implosion," Cuban said Sunday evening when his pregame conversation with reporters, which covered a broad range of topics, swayed toward football. "I'm just telling you, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. And they're getting hoggy. Just watch. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. When you try to take it too far, people turn the other way.

"I'm just telling you, when you've got a good thing and you get greedy, it always, always, always, always, always turns on you. That's rule number one of business."

Cuban is specifically referring to the NFL expanding their television package. He considers it a poor business decision for the NFL, which consistently dominates TV ratings, to play games on days other than Sunday and Monday.

In February, the NFL announced a one-year deal with CBS and NFL Network partnering to televise Thursday night games. CBS, which won the bidding for the Thursday night package over NBC, ABC, Fox and Turner, will air the games during the first eight weeks of the season, simulcasting them with the NFL Network. The league's cable network will exclusively show six Thursday night games later in the season with CBS' top announcing tandem of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms in the booth. The NFL Network will also have a Saturday doubleheader in Week 16.

The NFL started a limited package of Thursday night games in 2006. The NFL Network showed 13 Thursday night games last season.

"They're trying to take over every night of TV," Cuban said. "Initially, it'll be, 'Yeah, they're the biggest-rating thing that there is.' OK, Thursday, that's great, regardless of whether it impacts [the NBA] during that period when we cross over. Then if it gets Saturday, now you're impacting colleges. Now it's on four days a week. ...

"It's all football. At some point, the people get sick of it."

Cuban said the NFL is making a mistake by valuing television money over the convenience of fans who are used to planning for their NFL teams to play on Sundays with the occasional Monday night game. He compared it to the decline in popularity of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" after the game show expanded to air five days a week.

"They put it on every night," Cuban said. "Not 100 percent analogous, but they handled it the same. I'm just telling you, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered."

I always watch the Chiefs. I'm luck here in Omaha, they run all the games. But, if I lived elsewhere...I kinda doubt I'd buy Sunday ticket. I'd probably be more productive on game day...

I wont see many Chiefs games this season, unless I go to a sports bar, but that could be a good thing...
Like being a STH again, I certainly wouldn't get in to recurring bill to watch the current product. That being said, I'm local so I get the pleasure (!!!) of watching this if I'm not otherwise engaged. And with the poor play our Chiefs be headed for this year, getting into a game, maybe two, won't be very expensive. With the older one in college, I'm not sure if I'll not plan even more, or none at all.

But alas, your point is accurate, for those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s, where the game is headed might be for a different group of fans. Even if some of the changes aren't 100% bad (concussion avoidance [if not too stupid]), many of them are totally dumb like the "we're only about scoring these days" rules. If this new way is all you know I guess it's fine, but like I said, if you grew up in the 70s/80s, you know the game has changed.

I can't speak as definitively as Cuban for the future of the NFL and its fanbase, but speaking for myself, I'm not the fan I used to be of the NFL. I'm still a Chiefs fan, of course. But the NFL has kinda' turned me off in the last several years (for many of the aforementioned reasons).

The NFL is like a drama-queen that keeps doing the dumbest things to get noticed, even though she's already the prettiest girl in the room. I've mostly been a football guy for most of my adult life (since the 90's). I find myself more and more excited about the much-longer baseball season every year - even when the Royals have been terrible. I've just learned to love the nuances of the game and enjoy the grind of the season.

I'll still watch the Chiefs, but I sympathize with some of what Cuban is saying.

Mark Cuban was scoffed and sneered at for warning the NFL about the perils of arrogance. His words now look prophetic as the mighty league has been made vulnerable by player misdeeds and the failures of leadership

Cuban was "warning"/criticizing the NFL for oversaturation--putting too many games on TV. Specifically, there was talk of adding another night for a game.

Shockingly, Cuban thought it was a really bad idea for the NFL to expand to another night--which I'm sure had nothing to do with it being an extra night it would compete with (and dominate) NBA broadcasts.

I laugh at the idea that some of you think the league won't survive. Come Sunday every stadium will be full of rocking fans throughout the U.S. Boone Pickens from Oklahoma State was talking about how the NFL & Major College football are not near where they will be in 15 years as far as making money!

Troy Aikman like 5 or 6 years ago said we wouldn't recognize the NFL in 10 years. I've looked back at that statement a lot recently.
