Yeah. Sure.

Well to be fair - last year's week 2 matchup was Jets vs Browns. And Vegas market ratings obviously would be way up. Pretty misleading tweet.

But boycotters are dumb.

So guess I’m dumb. Cause if it ain’t da Saints I ain’t watchin. I don’t like politics thrown in my face when I want pure entertainment. There are a large number who are “dumb “ if this is the standard for intelligence. Enough to move the needle? I guess the networks will decide when the negotiations begin

The networks have already gone on record saying they’re prepared to pay more to keep the NFL.

Of course they are. Especially when the NFL did exactly what the networks wanted by adding 2 playoff games and extending the regular season.

"I don't watch the NFL, only the Saints Games.".. that's what I call sticking it to the NFL if I ever saw it.. lol

More is a relative term. If the NFL was counting on a 30% increase and they only get a 10% increase it is indeed more but with the money at stake 20% is a ton

It is hypocritical I admit but I will never stop watching my Saints. That being said I used to be a guy who watched Thursday through Monday and the replays on NFL Network. Not anymore and I am betting I am not alone

This article says the networks are prepared to pay three billion more to keep the NFL.

I am boycotting this thread.
When I come to SR, I want to be entertained, not confronted with ratings.

 

[Grant Backer Two]

If one boycots, and only watches Saints games, how can you NOT, watch games when our ENEMIES are playing? Atl. Car. TB.
Hoping that each one loses by at least 37 points!
Then root against ALL NFC teams for future seedings. Root against the top NFC teams. GB, SeaChickens, Alice, Iggles, Forty Whiners, L A Lambs. etc.
A Saints fan could watch 7-8 games per weekend.
Just Sayin. LOL
P.S. If our enemies play each other hope they kill each other.
I mean I'm a Saints fan, am I missing something?? Again.. LOL

 

[bigdaddysaints]

rarely do I watch other games in their entirety. I may flip back and forth between a couple other games while I am watching other things. I've always done that.

 

[gregh]

But...but...the boycotts.

I know of two posters who won’t be in this thread lol

Thanks for the link. I guess it’s true that the NFL is the golden goose. All I can say is they won’t have these 2 eyeballs on anything except Saints games. 60% increase. Wow. And to my fan who gave me a clown rating I hope you enjoy the new world.
