The believe the NFL this year manages to stop the bleeding. Their ratings are flat or even a little up from last year.

I thought the NBAs ratings had been going up the last couple years. NBA just needs to get a couple actual good east coast teams, and one of them can’t be in Toronto.

Oh man I was looking for a specific post (can't seem to find it) but man this aged well.

The NFLs ratings were up on the whole this year though.

E: the SB itself was down, but the regular season and other playoff games were up compared to the last couple seasons.


Awful Announcing posted:

The Super Bowl notwithstanding, ratings for the 2018-19 regular season were up five percent from the previous year. Audiences fell by 10% in 2017 and by 8% in 2016, and while the increase from the just completed season didn’t bring the ratings back to record levels in 2015, the networks are still encouraged by the increase.

I think he’s just more so making fun of how any mention of NFL ratings makes you appear like Beetlejuice and spit out the company line.

No he also got mad at me out of nowhere in the NCAA basketball thread. And "any mention" in this case is "that one time, like a year ago"

I got into it more this year because teams like the Chiefs going full college spread offense was fun but otherwise I have only sporadically followed the NFL for the last four or five years and think everyone in charge of it is an awful person. It just seems dumb to pretend like it's dying when it's still the most watched thing on TV.

The radio crew has honestly been perfectly fine to pretty good. Asking Berman to carry the broadcast the way Joe Castig does is a reach, but they probably, hopefully won't. I'm guessing it's mostly going to be Castig/Impemba in the booth

There was a mid/late 1990s Braves game that took place against the Dodgers in L.A. As is tradition, there were several beach balls in the stands. Don Sutton had been casually commenting on them for the radio broadcast until he noticed that one wasn't a beach ball. He was quite surprised and amused this was instead "an anatomically correct blow-up doll." That's the only part I remember precisely. I'd love to hear that bit of broadcast again.
