well, they just spent 15 BILLION on MNF rights and video and internet rights for 2013 onward. We dont know the details but your gonna see a lot of stations pitching in for internet rights now for the rest of the rights holders.
A NFL worth 50 BILLION dollars. HOLY SHIT.

The fuck? Not to go into the typical, "forums are for complaining" schtick, but what do you expect people to do here? Steelers GAF whines about Goodell every other week even though that doesnt do anything. Most conversations here have no use.
Im neither a fantasy football nut or nor anti establishment, Sanjuro. I just know any time I turn the channel on the commentary physically makes cringe. Im sure it's not all bad, but I have no need to give it a chance when there's niche avenues that fits my needs better anyway. I dont think anyone's saying anything overly critical anyway.

Nobody here is stopping you from complaining. I just find it funny when people say things like "I was watching ESPN the other day/I was listening to Cowherd/I was watching Inside the NFL, man, it's so bad." First thing that always pops up in my head is "If you hate it so much, why'd you sit down and watch it?"TheLegendary said:
I typically go to the various individual league channels for coverage now. ESPN is nearly unwatchable save for the E:60/30 for 30 stuff. If I just want sports noise on in the background, I'll flip it to sportscenter occasionally, but if I want anything relevant, NFL Network blows away any coverage ESPN does. Even the dumb show with Brent Barry/Dennis Scott on NBATV is way better than the drivel that Jalen Rose and company would throw out. TNT's Inside the NBA crew is pretty amazing. And if I want to subject myself to awful (albeit limited) Astros coverage, MLB Network does a much better job. ESPN is lazy because they can be. If they had any legitimate competition as an all sports network, they would have shaped up by now. Instead, they just bank on the average watcher falling into their couch, turning on SportsCenter like they have the past 20 years of their life, and not venturing elsewhere for coverage.Sanjuro Tsubaki said:
I don't, but I am forced to watch it on monday nights. Although, it's been easier and easier to pull away with these horrible games. If this was any other season, I'd be hungry for football no matter how bad it is, but these monday night games are atrocious.DeaconKnowledge said:
[edit]30 for 30 is definitely the exception.
They did great work with that.Ninja Scooter

Not terribly surprising but...
Oh and Mike Westhoff says the workout Matt Dodge had with the Jets was "very average"

Thanks for cutting Weatherford loose, Mike. He's been fantastic for us all year.

The Inconvenient Truth: 8 is not enough to handle Frank Gore.
Even more impressive when you see that Peterson and Jones-Drew have played one more game then Gore has.

WTF was that story of Suggs owning Big Ben?
This year was the first time they had beaten Ben in a long ass time.
Oh well. I can't complain too much. The Ravens talk a lot of shit every year, but when it matters most Ben always scores and when he can't get it done usually Flacco finds a way to save the day (for the Steelers). Hopefully this latest bout of shit talking gives us enough bulletin board material to keep Ben's domination of the cRavens going.

While we're looking at rushing stats...
Ben Tate is currently 1 yard away from giving the Texans two of the top 10 rushing leaders this season.
Foster at #9, Tate at #11
I love having a fairly consistent running game and Kubiak finally not abandoning the run 5 minutes into the game.

Don't you remember Caldwell flipping the bitch switch to ruin the perfect season and lose in the playoffs anyways? I don't know where the line is between that horseshit and the Black Sox, but I would've called them the exact same thing... Clearly, the NFL does not. Hard not to punish the Colts for that and then turn around and punish a "Suck for Luck" campaign. I think Goodell has opted for positive reinforcement (incentives to win) instead of negative (penalties for point shaving).Yaboosh said:
