I agree, to an extent.
I also think that trying to expand the league out of the us is gonna be a huge logistical mistake. |

Sure will. Not only that, I'm not sure the rest of the world wants it to begin with...Deal is every one of us could sit here and list many things wrong with the NFL. That wasn't the case 10 years ago...

The NFC had about 8 winning teams and a bunch of dog$#it. You had an 11-5 team not make the playoffs in the NFC. Cuban is a jealous bitch that wishes the NBA was anywhere close to as popular as the NFL...

I could see giving the 'Nadians a team. I'm sure with the whole of the nation they could support one NFL franchise...

Cuban is a pretty smart business man. Might want to listen to him.

I agree with him.
I HATE the Thursday games. I HATE the MNF double-header(s). Stick to Sunday, late season Saturday games, and MNF. Kill NFLN. They're diluting the product chasing $$$$$. EDIT: Oh, and kill the games in Europe. |

Only having enough money for an NBA franchise doesn't really mean you're not smart.

The premise behind what he is saying is absolutely correct. The only time TV shows are on every night is when their popularity has dwindled. Absolutely there would be some that would love to have football on most evenings. But the majority of people need a break or they become complacent about whatever it is. We can definitely get too much of anything, if it is a good thing we will over indulge quickly, which generally leads to a quicker end to the enjoyment.
The NFL should stop with the occasional Thursday night game for the regular season. I don't even like that because those games are generally on the NFLN only. I also agree with others that have stated we need to stay out of Europe. Way, way too many logistical obstacles that can and will arise no matter how smooth everything looks on paper.

Yep. The MNF Double-Header is stupid....The owners will only stop and think when they get less money for some revenue streams. For example NFL Sunday Ticket will negotiate their price down due to less games being offered to them on any given Sunday. Anyone who has had Sunday Ticket for 6-10 years can see the effect as there are far less games available because of 2 MNF games, Thursday games, Sunday night games etc. . If DTV can't get the subscriptions, they won't pay as much to televise them. Of course the NFL will shop it but a new carrier might not want to pay a premium either as they will certainly recognize the trend. Deal is this will have to happen with several revenue streams because any single loss could be absorbed and covered by another one. When it happens on multiple levels, they owners will listen.

Yep. He applied for ownership of the Houston franchise but was denied. He had all the credentials.

The NBA and MLB saturate with an insane schedule and so the games don't really matter early in the year. No one cares. Even NASCAR seems like it never ends. It's every week. People aren't asking for less NFL. Compare sunday ticket subscribers to ten years ago. Compare fantasy football money. It's all trending up...
