And the mlb has problems of their own with way too many strikeouts and lack of offense. But long term manfreds desire for NY/LA media markets is going to destroy the game. The way LA has built a superteam off deferred contracts is gonna be really bad for the game for a while.

Cheating scandal? Who cares? I just assume most of the organizations are cheating or bending the rules in some way anyway.

There’s also nothing he’s gonna do that is gonna prevent major markets from dominating baseball as long as there is no salary cap (and there won’t be considering the power of the MLBPA).

I’m mainly worried about the watchability of that sport and he’s taken significant steps to fix it.

Those NFL games were uncompetitive trash today compared to that Lakers/Warriors game (and likely always will be if the NFL keeps doing them on weekdays) but I have no doubt the ratings will be there.

Basically always was outside of a Finals run where he was the MVP of your washed team when they beat the Celtics. You should be grateful to him.

When two NFL blowouts on Netflix crush the NBA…which was on ABC/ESPN… LeBum will be silent.

chiefzilla1501 12-26-2024 03:45 PM

The weird irony is that the nfl games, which on paper should have been great games, were blowouts. NBA games which are almost always blowouts were actually all good games

Precisely. People care about Steph and LeBron. They don't care about Luka and Jokic.

America first.

It's a shame Shai is Canadian or it could be Ant vs Shai for many years to come. Now the NBA has to hope Holmgren becomes that teams best player which isn't happening but him being a star could be helpful.

It's also a shame people don't seem to like Tatum. I myself am a big fan but I can see why he's kinda boring.

Let’s see how the viewership #’s compare to the NFL games.

Two blowout NFL games on a streaming service.

Still think these numbers are overrated.

People are gathered with families and there’s nothing else on worth watching.

It’s nearly the same as cnn at airports.
