I'm pretty surprised they haven't added a second bye week already. It gives players extra rest and time to practice. Gives the networks another week of games. And fans can enjoy another week of fantasy football.

SNF got mollywhopped by Walking Dead in the only demo that mattersAwful Announcing posted:NBC’s Sunday Night Football has already taken ratings hits this season down 15% overall from last season. But when you add the season 7 premiere of AMC’s The Walking Dead to the mix, it’s not a surprise that SNF took another hit. I get that TWD is a huge show and everyone was hype as hell for the season premiere, but SNF getting handily beat by a cable TV show is pretty hilarious.

NFL Ratings are getting worse. http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/nfl-ratings-are-still-way-down-and-getting-worse.html Regional numbers are down but not nearly as much as primetime. I think this shows that people are willing to follow their local team but are starting to just not give a gently caress about watching five games a day.

That's not the first time I've heard of the Walking Dead beating Sunday Night Football demo-wise. But yeah, the night games haven't been great The next Thursday night game is the annual Titans-Jaguars classic The next Monday night game involves the godawful Bears Eagles-Cowboys should be better unless the Cubs are about to clinch the World Series

Wouldn't that be hilarious if an actual important divisional game between 2 good teams with 2 good rookie qbs gets crushed by Baseball flaunting its million year old year history or whatever.

Indians/Cubs did spectacular overnight ratings, the best since 2009quote:According to Sports Media Watch, Game 1’s 12.6 overnight rating was the second-highest among all World Series games during the past five years. Only 2014’s Game 7 between the Royals and Giants was higher (15.2). And to shovel some more dirt on NFL ratings, Tuesday’s mark drew a higher overnight rating than every NFL primetime telecast aired during the past month — or since Week 3 of this season.

Snafus with graphics are going to happen every once in a while, that's the nature of TV. But this is the kind of stuff that even public access can handle, and you can't blame everything on technology. So either TBS had brand-spaking new people working in the truck who were still rookies to TV production, or they had layoffs and were running a skeleton crew. E: It's also at least possible this wasn't TBS's own crew. Sometimes companies will just hire local production staffs to work their trucks for the games so they're not paying to travel everyone. I've done this on a far smaller scale around Ohio for one of my side jobs.

Y'know I'd have thought the same a while ago but these days everyone seems to be cutting costs and I wouldn't put it past them. The odds of it are still really drat low, granted, but I wouldn't rule it out.

The best "local production" is when NFL preseason games get done by local affiliates and the announcers are like, the sports guy and the weather guy.

A lot of the time the color guy is a an ex-player who still lives in the area. The Lions have had Desmond Howard on a few and Nate Burleson a couple of years ago. Nate was actually really good at it! Maybe his NFL Network gig will lead to the booth some day.

THEY DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT EITHER *slam dunks on a deaf kid, kick flips away* In reality though that's really cool and I'm hoping ESPN budget cuts gets them back to niche cool stuff like this instead of insufferable talking heads 24/7

ESPN/Disney are fools if they weren't anticipating this mass exodus from cable. ESPN is gonna get got much like the record companies did with the advent of Napster. Millennials care not about professional sports and even less about cable tv. ESPN's bread and butter demo just aren't that interested and it's not looking to change anytime soon. The four-letter is in big big trouble but it is all on them for being too stubborn and unwilling to adapt. Their days of swimming in their vault of gold doubloons like Scrooge McDuck are coming to a close.
