They had some fluke losses to the Texans and Redskins so I saw it as the Football Gods course correcting.
An 8-8 team with a rapey QB and a cheating coach shouldn't be rewarded with a playoff game anyway.
Guy just needs attention.
Alright which GAFer was this?
Classless heathens. Then again they worship a drug addicted redneck, so it's not surprising!
Damn that's impressive. Now he just needs a fucking ring! Anything else is a failure IMO. Joe and Steve set the bar high!
Patriots South!
This is so much worse than all the murdering of opposing fans that 49ers fans do.
If any of y'all are interested, I wrote up a piece analyzing ESPN's little experiment monday night: www.smallmarketbias.com
It's usually only to Raiders fans, so it's more of a public service than anything

Why would somebody throw away his own gloves?

gata is going to be so conflicted with you, he hates the dolphins but loves the jags,
yup, I try to stay away from the cardio machines....it's just too much sometimes lol
Love you too, brah!
I really want to see something similar happen with the Super Bowl. Think about how great it would be to have a simulcast where current coaches like Harbs, Harbs Jr., and McCarthy are talking about coverages and offensive philosophies during the game.
To be fair, other networks have been doing similar things to a lesser extent - specifically NFL Network has their TNF simulcast show on NFL.com, but they don't broadcast actual game footage for obvious reasons.
Thanks for the read. So did ESPN admit that the experiment was a "success" in terms of getting the viewers they wanted? If so then I can imagine they'll try it again in the future, but I'm not sure how well it'd work with sports championships that extend multiple games. Seems to me it would be optimal for a championship that is for one day only (ncaaf, ncaab, nfl etc)

That TNF simulcast is fucking garbage too. It's like the z-list giving random play by play of something they are watching.
I think the first place I really remember seeing it is on XM radio, they used to have a show on in the evening once the games started and it was Larry Bowa, Mark Patrick and Buck Martinez commentating on games as they happened, and they would jump to different games based on what was interesting. It was so fucking rad.

Raj apparently turned down a $8per year offer from the Packers? Good luck elsewhere and good riddance
that ESPN News coverage was so refreshing
What's the word, Browns-GAF? Good or bad?
I assume it involves violating the RICO act.

I REALLY hope the Chargers make it to the SB. Chargers vs Seahawks.

I just don't get this. Look historically, Superbowl winning teams pretty much have a hands off owner. I can not think of a team in recent memory that had a Superbowl season and a hands on owner.
We'll have to wait for Richard Deitsch's media column on Monday to find out about the ratings, but I'm sure ESPN will send out a press release soon about the aggregate viewers across all the channels.
But, yep, you're absolutely right. It scales well for single events like championship games, but - that being said - simulcasting the ads across the whole family of channels answers the "what about advertisers?" question.
It was really great - even with Millen trying to interrupt every 10 seconds.

Lol, yeah Raj is your problem. Not the fact that you haven't had a defense in 3 or 4 years
Wtf, that's crazy. Guess he's hoping his name/reputation and being fat will be worth more.
There are degrees of this. Owners will demand staff changes in the offseason. They will be the ones to pick the QB in the draft. Decide on FAs. It's just behind the scenes and fans never know about it until years later when someone talks about it. Most owners will have a big role in selecting the head coach. But it isn't a good look for the way CLE is currently being perceived for him to also be taking a big role, I agree

blarry has been waiting for this invitation for years.
Come on, brah.
WTF stay away from him. We just picked him up last off season. He has great work to do this draft and FA.
The only thing you listed that should be an owners responsibility is the hiring and firing of staff. Leave everything else to the guys you hire but stay in the loop. Just as bad as having your QB sit in on coaching interviews. Nothing good can come from it
Don't be mad that Kap sucks dick against teams that actually play a little defense.

For sure. Had an awful game against the cards. Pout towel incoming
The new lunchbox might be dumber than Gata.
Pat fans set the bar so damn low. The world would be better off without them.
The Packers problem is QB, you know, the position Raji plays. Duh.

I have some jalapeno chips for you.
Sounds good!
I will come over to the trailer and eat them on your couch while we watch highlights from Steelers/Cardinals.
I don't get it either. Most organizations benefit from a clearly defined hierarchy and roles and responsibilities unless you go for something radical like valve, which no NFL team does.
No matter how important your rank & file employee, he should never be assisting in hiring his boss. It sends all the wrong messages about who is really in charge.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Not even close to what I said.
