College popularity has more to do with the lifelong ties people have to the college. Far fewer people have ties to a professional team and the popularity largely revolves around the quality of the product. Few cities don't give a **** and will sellout for a shitty team.

there's already too much football on tv as is.

but the NFL will find a way to deliver a product that no one is demanding, and convince them that they want/need it.

and that other embeeded pic earlier in the thread about NFL being right behind golf as being boring...they're sort of right. I mean, sure, when a play is actually going on it's exciting...but there is a LOT of nothing going on during a televised NFL game for 3+ hours.

The absolute worst part of the NFL.

Instead of the "London Bridges", maybe a co-ownership with an American city could work better. Let them share one of the NY or FL teams

For non-competitive teams longer seasons would reduce local interest, poses risk to the top teams.

The season is already a grind, don't like these proposals much.

NFL Game Pass Condensed games are great, a 3hour game compressed down to 30 minutes without all the inane talk and commercials. The only way to watch the NFL IMHO.

NFL is gonna end up expanding itself into an implosion.

More people have lifelong ties to pro teams or "local" college teams if the parents watch. Most people where I grew up were fans of the Cardinals, both baseball and football, or some other pro teams, not college.

The ties to the school are a bigger draw than the level of play for college football. Pro football, like other pro sports, is the best of the best playing the sport.

The NFL and NFLPA have been sacrificing the level of play for over 10 years and adding an 220 additional players to the league isn't going to help with that.

This is a bad idea, IMO. There will be a huge difference in QB play between the top 10 and bottom 10. Like a huge gap.

What is this exciting sport that's called "athletics"?

No, why in the hell would anyone want a team there.

I don't know, but it was one of the relocation options!

Buffalo certainly would but that’s just one owner. They can’t stop this kind of expansion if the majority want it.

What I just can't figure out is how the logistics would work. You'd constantly have battles between teams that are jet lagged and teams that aren't.

PT Barnum sold out a lot of shows too. At least some of it has to be the novelty of it.

Those guys go nuts if their soccer team dumps a match. Can you imagine the murder rate if they got the Jags?

There is probably more competent per capita QB play than OL play at the moment. And it will get worse. OU, Ohio State, Alabama all have shit OL right now and they get the pick of prospects.

Obviously they're going to 18 games. 17 is just to force that issue.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 01:59 AM.
