Yeah they don't seem to get it at all. They keep pulling wagons full of crap while their ratings tank. Their spin as to why, would make Baghdad Bob blush.


NFL tries to reassure teams as TV ratings drop

The National Football League has sent a memo to team owners seeking to ease concerns about the ratings decline that has hit football this fall.
Through the first four weeks of the season, NFL viewership has declined 11 percent, and among the crucial adults 18-49 demographic that advertisers covet, ratings are down 12 percent.

“While our partners, like us, would have liked to see higher ratings, they remain confident in the NFL and unconcerned about a long-term issue,” the letter from NFL senior executives Brian Rolapp and Howard Katz said, adding that over the last 15 years, ratings viewership has grown 27 percent and that football “continues to be far and away the most powerful programming on television and the best place for brands and advertisers.”
he league said the large drop in ratings for prime-time games on ESPN, CBS and NBC is likely because of “unprecedented interest in the Presidential election.”

On Sunday afternoons, the audience for Fox News, CNN and MSNBC has increased as well, and the league believes that is cutting into those games. The letter also cited the 2000 election as another time when NFL ratings took a hit due to coverage of the race between George Bush and Al Gore and the subsequent legal battle over the results.

As for a potential backlash by some viewers angered at players not standing for the national anthem to protest of police brutality, the NFL said it sees no evidence to that being a factor in declining ratings: “In fact, our own data shows that the perception of the NFL and its players is actually up in 2016.”

The NFL said it was issuing the memo to all the teams in response to media inquiries about the decline in ratings. Long seen as invincible against the trends and changing media habits that have negatively affected other programming, network executives and advertisers have been scrambling to figure out if this is a short-term blip because of political news or the start of a long-term trend.

I'm sure they'll claim it's my age, and perhaps Chief's fans being butthurt because of the whole 1970-Present thing, but I know in the 2000-2005 time-frame I was all-in for the Chiefs, and these days football is anything but #1. So Chiefs fans might be not be a good place for the NFL to get to the bottom of the ratings issue they've seen so far this year.

But lord knows when I, at 11:50am on a Sunday, decide to put a turkey breast on the smoker, or do yard work, or hang-out in the the CP DC, instead of watch the kickoff of a game, well it's kind of clear I'm some part of that 11, or 12, percent.

But I'll clearly admit that, in my case, a lot of it is that I don't feel my team's owner/leadership is going to fix the team's problems and will continue the 1970-Present trend. It's a rather helpless feeling when you're in a division with the likes of Denver that enjoys the league's #1 natural home field advantage (lack of oxygen), and and owner/GM who have what it takes to get a better 53 out there year-in and year-out. It just sucks to continually subject yourself to one of the league's perennial whipping-boys.

No, I've used to be a rabid NFL fan and don't even watch games anymore unless it's really convenient and I'm very comfortably in the median demographics. It has a lot to do with ESPN turning into a bad reality show, making athletes wear hot pink socks for a serious cause that actually only received 40% of the profits, refs having way to much influence in the games outcome, games only on the NFL channel, and shit like this.

Deciding to follow Jan Brady of the NFL has a lot to do with it as well but it's not the only reason.

And Durango, CO has about 1200 ft over those pussies in Denver.

And when teams know the 5280 number, then do nothing to deal with it (spend the week in Denver doing their best to acclimate to it for Sunday's game, well you know that the 2nd half is going to have a built-in fatigue factor for one team that the other doesn't suffer. Lord knows if I was an AFC West owner, I'd at least try it a few times, it's not like they go full-bore during the week anyway. One owner could buy 50+ acres, put a couple of fields on it, build some decent living quarters (barracks) for the teams, and rent it out 8-10 times a year (if it works). It might make a lot of sense for an ACF West owner to do that (if they have any spare cash).

I know it can take 3-6 weeks to acclimate to altitude, and this would give the team only one week, but it's better than 12-15 hours.

It all depends on how bad you want to compete.
