NFL Games' Ratings Have Crashed. Now the Media Has to Pay Out Money to Advertisers to Make Up for Not Delivering the Promised Ratings.
When you buy ads on TV, the tv station quotes you a price with a certain guaranteed minimum of a rating. If the show the station sold advertising for fails to make that guaranteed minimum rating, the station has to make the ad-buyer whole through "make-goods." Usually just giving the advertiser free ads on other shows to make good for the promised, but undelivered, ratings.
Usually. The networks don't want to actually return the filthy money they've collected. But this year, they have to do just that. Because NFL ratings are garbage. Networks are "scrambling" to make up for NFL games failing to deliver the contractual minimum ratings.TV networks are feeling the strains of disappointing NFL ratings, as they are forced to restructure deals with advertisers to make up for the smaller audience, and their opportunity to make money off remaining games during the lucrative holiday season narrows. ... Some networks also have considered letting advertisers pay less for commercials during NFL games and other programming than they originally pledged. Meanwhile, a large amount of the remaining commercial time available in games is being given to marketers as compensation for the underperformance so far, leaving little ad time that can be sold in the final quarter of the season. Such so-called make-good commercials are given if a network underdelivers on the audience it promised an advertiser.LOL. Die media, die. This is a hopeful sign, I think: People are trapped in their homes more than ever, but they're tuning out not just woke sports but TV in general. They must be doing something with their time. And pretty much anything they do with their time besides consuming Literal Programming is an improvement. Maybe it's possible that we'll get a two-fer -- both the death of the media, and (coincidentally enough!) a rebirth of the human spirit. The article blames the NFL's woes on everything they can think of, from the 2020 election supposedly stealing viewers from the NFL, to games being rescheduled at viewer-unfriendly times due to covid. Only once does it mention the "backlash" of yet another megacorporation turning itself into a leftist political agitation frontgroup.
...
Adding to the challenge is that while sports ratings are down, entertainment programming is experiencing far greater declines, which means networks often can't make up for the sports shortfalls by putting advertisers into their prime-time schedules
"Even as surefire as the NFL has been--and the last couple years, NFL ratings stood up much better than network prime-time ratings--we are now in a situation where the NFL is declining," said Gibbs Haljun, investment lead at WPP PLC ad-buying firm Mindshare.Beautiful. Get woke, go broke. Republicans buy sneakers too. But we don't have to. Death to the media. Death to #Woke corporations.

Are we just seeing a shift in TV / Movie / Sports habits where people are turning off network TV and sports, but tuning more into Netflix and Youtube and other TV entertainment options? Doubtful that people are spending more time reading books. So one segment of media loses out, but entertainment-media industry as a whole is strong as ever?

Have watched an NFL in a while.
Lifelong Falcons fan, but the first game I intentionally skipped was the Falcons/Patriots Super Bowl, because I was basically certain that the halftime show would be some Trump-bashing by Lady Gaga or whoever it was that was performing.
I haven't watched really since then. At all. And don't care.
And now this cracker ain't eating Ritz Crackers anymore either.

Back in the 80's, some of my fondest memories was watching the NFL with my Dad. He would make up a dip by throwing some cans of sardines in a blender with an onion and some jalapenos and whip up the most revolting dip, which we would consume with saltines and copious quantities of beer. One whiff of the horror dip would send my Mom gagging into the toilet. Good Times!

Still it warms my heart to see the ratings plunge, even if the Superbowl will still have every sap and idiot tuning in to get a face full of super woke advertising and lame play.

The Criterion Collection's new release schedule has become...well...let's just say I'm not really interested in much of what they're putting out these days.
I saw a comment bemoaning the fact that the newer releases, most of which are dedicated to "minority voices" and whatnot, have few to none special features, all of which require money from Criterion in order to produce.
Criterion themselves know that these titles won't sell, but they're putting their producers to work getting the bare minimum product to meet social justice goals.
If they ever got around to releasing After Hours, it would sell far better than Touki Bouki or Chop Shop.

In related news, PornHub just delete approximately 80% of their content after being threatened by MasterCard and Discover (I think it was those two) over their site allowing illegal porn.

The thing is, today's entertainment isn't being made to be profitable.
It's made to win awards.
So, the people behind "Batwoman" aren't looking for an audience. They want resume entries like "Won the Larry Storch Inclusion Award for 2021" or "Won the Larry Buchanan Diversity Award for 2022."
That's all it is. It's a search for validation, so they can smirk in the mirror at themselves. Not money.
Besides, these people won't be thrown out of work. Alex Kurtzman can't write a coherent sentence, but he'll always work in Hollywood.

2) most delivery food that wasn't historically delivery food (chinese, pizza) does not come through warm or nearly as good as at the restaurant.

What amazes me is how quickly one stops even recognizing the stars of these leagues. Baseball even more than football, but I think this a huge part of the problem for these sports.
Enough older viewers are still familiar with Tom Brady (love him or hate him), but Tom's almost done. As are most starts that were around 5-10 years ago, so what they're left with are a bunch of dreadlocked guys with unrecognizable names.
I heard Philly benched their QB, the guy who led them to a SB win a few years ago. In baseball, there are people with weird names I can't even pronounce, who either look like they spent the past 13 months in the woods, or they look like Predator.
So not just taking a knee, but being general all around nobody, non-role model types... these sports are going to die from that as much as the BLM worship.

I haven't watched basketball in years. At least 20 or more.
The most football I've seen this year was the last 3 minutes of the Texans losing to Tennessee.
I watched Verlander open the season for the Astros and was out by the third inning because of the BLM sign hanging behind him in the outfield. Didn't watch that anymore and had no idea when the World Series was even played.
Cancelled DirectTV altogether months ago. They still hound me with deals to return.
But I made every game my grandkids played in this year!

Speaking of streaming....
One of my complaints about HBOMax has been that they didn't have a recommendation engine.
Now they do. It isn't quite as sophisticated as Netflix but they are just getting there.
But they still make it difficult to find stuff in the catalog.

My advice on tool collecting (from someone who has a rather large collection and worked manual labor for a while) -- buy tools as you need them. And buy good ones. Like, yeah, the dual bevel sliding 12 inch miter saw is a lot more expensive then a basic one, but you have so many more options with it.

They've always had the stupid money-making stuff such as Fast and Furious and Transformers movies to make them rich while making the "important" films.
But no movie theaters = no stupid fun blockbusters keeping the industry flush with cash. How are they going to make it up with overseas box office if those theaters are shut down, too?
I think that's a big reason why some Hollywood directors are now openly b#tching about Warner Bros. and Disney announcing they'll send everything straight to streaming.

At first, you stop watching out of principle.

Sports have given us all a moment to find out whether or not we truly cared.

So, the people behind "Batwoman" aren't looking for an audience. They want resume entries like "Won the Larry Storch Inclusion Award for 2021" or "Won the Larry Buchanan Diversity Award for 2022."

They have their own leagues. Basketball is a good sport to go with it you are not quite good enough to play in the American pro league, aka NBA. You can play in China, Turkey, France, Italy etc. Sure it is not the NBA, but there are lots of legit pro leagues for hoops.
There is only one NFL. No one makes a dime playing American Football, aka Football, abroad, unless you count Canada. Do they still have that? Baseball you can do in Japan and maybe South of the Border to some extent. But really, basketball has more of a global reach for whatever reason.

90 What amazes me is how quickly one stops even recognizing the stars of these leagues. Baseball even more than football, but I think this a huge part of the problem for these sports.
Enough older viewers are still familiar with Tom Brady (love him or hate him), but Tom's almost done. As are most starts that were around 5-10 years ago, so what they're left with are a bunch of dreadlocked guys with unrecognizable names.
I heard Philly benched their QB, the guy who led them to a SB win a few years ago. In baseball, there are people with weird names I can't even pronounce, who either look like they spent the past 13 months in the woods, or they look like Predator.
So not just taking a knee, but being general all around nobody, non-role model types... these sports are going to die from that as much as the BLM worship.
Posted by: BurtTC at December 15, 2020 03:32 PM (hku12)
To help prove your point, I believe you're wrong about the Eagle's QB who helped them win a Super Bowl a few years ago. They let him go the following season or the one after. Nick Foles. The wonderboy who get benched last Sunday is Carson Wentz. You can't tell the players without a scorecard, as the old saying went.

NFL Games' Ratings Have Crashed. Now the Media Has to Pay Out Money to Advertisers to Make Up for Not Delivering the Promised Ratings.
You'll never hear a news item like this on the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast. They're all in on the fiction that woke sports is good for business.
Interestingly enough, even though I don't follow sports at all, I do like sports business stories. One of the Bloomberg sports reporters left to run a new internet property call Sportico. I just checked their website, and they aren't carrying any news about the NFL's travails with advertisers, either.
I'd say that this is, by far, the biggest sports-related story out there, but so far it's crickets there as well.

There have been several Chinese stars that made it in the NBA. Yao Ming of course, but I recall another guy who used to play for Dallas.There are probably a couple of others out there. I don't follow the stuff and haven't watched an NBA game in six years.

Bought a new house with a garage. Filling it with tools. Never built a thing in my life until recently. Spent most of my Sunday building stuff for my kids. Way more enjoyable than a day on the couch watching wokeball.

I long for a garage again. Hell, I want to buy a house with some land so I can build a massive workshop with a woodshop, a forge, and a glass forge. The plan in the meanwhile is to take glassworking classes next year, and then either next November, or April of 2022 I'll move to Austin and start taking blacksmithing classes again.
That reminds me, I need to pull out my painting and drawing supplies and start again. Also, I need to rent another violin...

I think I'm gonna write NFL players a lot of fan mail and emails encouraging them to speak out more on homosexuality and race issues.
Make up some real tear-jerking stories about my nephew that was bullied for being gay or a cousin that was unfairly roughed up by police. It's easy enough, just do a little research online and find out who got arrested or find some Facebook story about bullying in one of the schools. I'll tell them to really hammer down hard on rural communities, where the white supremacists all live.
Those fools are stupid enough to speak out on it when you cram a microphone in their faces. They think they are special. They don't require much encouragement.

Good for you!
My advice on tool collecting (from someone who has a rather large collection and worked manual labor for a while) -- buy tools as you need them. And buy good ones. Like, yeah, the dual bevel sliding 12 inch miter saw is a lot more expensive then a basic one, but you have so many more options with it.
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at December 15, 2020 03:36 PM (UPoLF)
Thankfully, my father, a carpenter, has helped make me smart decisions. Sprung for a higher end tablesaw and bought the sliding miter, which I wouldn't have done on my own.
Makes it so much easier when you own good stuff that is also the right stuff, haha.

The only ads I've seen that made me want a product at any level are film previews, and only rarely. The rest, never, ever made me want a product.
But maybe there are enough people out there who are that easily swayed. I kind of doubt it, though. I suspect its just Something You Do, one of those old conventional wisdom things that don't hold true as well as they used to, or at all
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 15, 2020 03:38 PM (KZzsI)
The thought process is, if you're a big an established company, you want to keep your product front of mine with the consumers.
So you see a bud light commercial while watching football, and next time you're beer shopping in the grocery store, you grab bud light instead of miller, or coors or whatever.
They're not trying to convert high end craft beer drinkers, or people who don't drink beer.
They're just trying to keep the "eh, all domestic beer tastes the same, I don't care" crowd with a subliminal "bud light" message in their heads.
Again, hard to say how impactful it really is. I think most people who drink cheap domestic beer have a brand preference set by a pretty young age. But maybe not.

I enjoyed it for the few years I've watched it, but I think I'm done. I'll prevent the MLB.tv subscription from re-upping and I may track the games through the free app, but that's it.

Huh, I thought amateur stuff was the big thing now in porn. Maybe that was years ago, though. I keep seeing memes about stepdaughter porn, maybe that's the big thing now.

It had nothing to do with "amateur", it was about the Tech Lords wanting to make sure that Hunter Biden's videos were disappeared, and unable to be viewed by anyone. It's a measure of just how much power the tech lords have, and how much they are enjoying being able to throw it around.

Live TV is just an inferior product. The shows already aren't very good in comparison to many streamable shows (or other content) and these not very good shows are interrupted by 8-10 mins of commercial per 30 min block. And NFL football just straight-up blows as a TV sport (and sport in general, really).

I'm not sure what normal price is, but .44 magnum is about the same price as .308 Win right now. A buck a round. All ammo is too damn expensive right now. Even .223 is like $0.70 per round unless you're willing to shoot Russian Wolf/Tula shit. In that case, it's $0.62 per round.

I wonder if advertising is starting to have the opposite of its intended effect. I rarely watch TV anymore, but I do see YouTube and it has ads and when I do occasionally tune in to TV, I see the ads there. They usually make me react in one of two ways:
1) This is just noise and has no meaning
2) This makes me actively hate this product and the people who made it

Was helping a buddy a few states away build a deck. He said he had all the tools, just needed a hand.
I was cutting decking with a fucking craftsman circ saw with a dull blade, and using a 12 volt drill with shitty bits to try to screw everything together.
I was like -- dude, I could have thrown a sliding miter saw and a few cordless impact drills in the trunk of my car, no problem.
Took what should have been an easy job, and made it very unfun and shitty.
Oh, and he didn't own a post hole digger, just a shitty home depot shovel.

I have a solution to the NFL's woes:
Post-game execution by drawing/quartering of the player who fucked up and lost the game, voted on by the viewers.
Example: The Clevelend Steamers lost to the Baltimore Drive-Bys last night because their fucking "kicker" couldn't make an extra point and a chip-shot field goal.
Pros:
1. Audience participation.
2. Swift Justice.
3. Increased Viewership
4. Bloodsports.
Cons:
1. None

In the video, the person using Goggles the search term "How much does porn cost," to which the search response says "Porn is free, dummy!"
It's a funny video, really.
But it kinda illustrates... are people actually using CREDIT CARDS to pay for pron? On the internet?
Why???

There is no reason any Hunter Biden anything would have any impact on anything, so doing something to bury it makes no sense. His dad is a nearly drooling buffoonish nasty hack who never got past Iowa in running for the presidency for the last 3 decades, with policies nobody wants and who had no campaign. And he's about to be installed, displacing one the best presidents in the nation's history.

I need to look into the PBR. I don't know if they are doing anything really. THey should. That is a sport that really doesn't need fans in attendance to make much of a difference. Either the Bull kicks you off, or he doesn't.

I think all the major porn sites are owned by the same company.
And they, unlike youtube, weren't big on censoring content. Lots of political stuff on there, some truly horrific. And the CEO was like "eh... whatever. We believe people are free to upload and watch what they want. Let us know if any video is breaking a law, we'll get around to taking it down."
Which apparently wasn't good enough for the payment processors, who claimed that some of the girls in some of the user uploaded videos were underage (how would they know, really?) and that they were going to essentially put them out of business by refusing to process any payments.
And, for those not in the know, virtually all payment processors touch the visa / mastercard network at some point.

The other thing I notice not watching TV is how ridiculously silly and pointless most people deliberately make their lives.
Do they even realize how stupid they look getting excited over a new show?
That? That is what gives your life meaning?
Your life doesn't have meaning by what you watch-- it's what you do that gives meaning.

And that is how the NFL got to where it was. They programmed millions
that at 1pm eastern on Sunday you watched football. And then again at 4.
And then at 8. It was just what you do and what everyone you know does.
Doing anything else makes you the outsiders, the weirdo.
And now all that is gone.
----------
I'm convinced the biggest mistake the NFL made was over saturating the market. They did Thursday night games, they made a throwaway Sunday night game the main event. They had Sundays cornered and then diluted it.

Baseball is super ripe for another league to start, using old rules and building up from the minors. There are fields all over unused now, and players who want a job.
The National and American leagues both use exactly the same rule set and umpires now. Why even have different leagues?

No expert on "normal" 44mag prices, but I'm confident they're quite high. All calibers that are not "major" calibers in terms of demand and production runs are expensive. You can shoot 44 special, but I doubt prices there are much better.
Great that you got that rifle, mostly joking about the ammo price thing. Just that it's one of those calibers that drives many users to reload. Bought most of my set-up from a guy who got into reloading specifically because of 44mag prices.

It's about the most superficial approach to it I've seen, but they haven't harped on it during races like NASCAR did (I've heard a bit during practice, but the announcers are just filing air time there.
They don't really have to make a point about elevating minorities, as the token black driver actually is the best of the field running away.

I took my daughter and her friend to see the Dallas Mavericks and the Charlotte Hornets last year for my daughter's birthday.
The Hornets front office contacted me last week to see if I was interested in purchasing some more tickets this year.
This was my letter to them:
Good evening Alexandria,
We enjoyed our trip to the game, my daughter and I and her friend.
The game was enjoyable.
Unfortunately the NBA has chosen to denigrate the great country we are blessed by birth to live in.
We like professional sports because it demonstrated true harmony in our society, where the racial backgrounds of individuals were forgotten in allegiance to teammates and where fans could back their team regardless of ethnicity or racial background.
But the NBA basically said that Americans like myself are inherently racist and that we have an unjust society.
Meanwhile, the NBA partners with Chinese multinational corporations. China, since the takeover of the country by the CCP, has never in 70 years had a single member of the upper Politburo that is of any other racial classification other than Asian, they have never had a woman serve in the Upper Politburo, never had an openly LGBTQ member of the Upper Politburo, they have not ever had anyone serve on it other than Asian males.
Further, NBA players have athletic apparel produced by Chinese factories that don't offer their employees the equivalent of $15 an hour, they use forced labor and inter Uighur Muslims for being an ethnic minority, they forcibly remove Christian missionaries, use child labor, and imprison homosexuals.
For these reasons, we can no longer reasonably live with our conscience in supporting the organization that finds the great American melting pot to be reprehensible while simultaneously supporting and oppressive Communist regime that openly and systemically oppresses minority groups.
Thank you for reaching out and I encourage you to also take a look at the organization you are employed by and the moral standards they support.

They broke baseball by trying to make it more exciting, and instead made it more boring. Strikeout, strikeout, home run, strike out, inning over. Oh, your starter went four innings? He's gone. Stolen bases? What's that?

My question is, why did Visa/MC do this? We know they don't really care about trafficking or privacy violations. And being anti-porn tends to still be seen as a right wing viewpoint. Were they upset that the amateur stuff was free so they weren't getting their cut?

Yeah, I got spoiled by having good tools, and the right tools for the job.
Was helping a buddy a few states away build a deck. He said he had all the tools, just needed a hand.
I was cutting decking with a fucking craftsman circ saw with a dull blade, and using a 12 volt drill with shitty bits to try to screw everything together.
I was like -- dude, I could have thrown a sliding miter saw and a few cordless impact drills in the trunk of my car, no problem.
Took what should have been an easy job, and made it very unfun and shitty.
Oh, and he didn't own a post hole digger, just a shitty home depot shovel.

Hahahaha! My dad was just here visiting from out of state, helped me build a workbench (helped as in, he built the workbench). I had everything you could want except an air nailer.
My father does not often lament. He was lamenting hard when he got to hammering about his sixth finishing nail. For some reason, he thought to bring his but just didn't.
About 100 nails later and I'm pretty sure he wanted to kill me for not going out and buying one, haha.

They've been doing it for years. Remember Obama's Operation Chokehold? Basically the DOJ told banks that you know, you could potentially be liable if your card is used for something unsavory.
So the banks started cutting off gun stores and companies, legal marijuana dispensaries, strip clubs, and other companies that were deemed problematic.
For now, there is some workaround (working with local banks, for example. As far as I know, visa / mastercard still works at gun shops. For now.)
I'm not surprised porn is on their radar.

There was a story a few months back where some loser incel guy was mocked by an instagram model, so he doxxed her and showed how much money she was making and paying no taxes. He did it to a bunch of those ho's. They were so pissed when the IRS came calling.
On the one hand, I salute them for working without paying taxes, but on the other hand: being a skanky whore on camera to get money out of lonely losers is just nasty.

When you buy ads on TV, the tv station quotes you a price with a certain guaranteed minimum of a rating. If the show the station sold advertising for fails to make that guaranteed minimum rating, the station has to make the ad-buyer whole through "make-goods."
This is called "posting." Horrible practice. If station delivers higher number than guaranteed, advertiser doesn't pay more. Only goes one way.
Stupid broadcasters.

There was a NYT article like a week or two ago saying how pornhub hosts known child porn because if you search for "underage porn" there are results. So PornHub responded by saying "we'll go through and take down anything where we can't verify that the girl is over 18, but honestly, most of these girls are probably over 18, regardless of how the video was tagged." and Visa / MC responded by saying "eh, do whatever you want, but we're not processing anything for you anymore"

Formula 1 is unrelatable to the common man's driving experience.
The commentary centers on the reasons why the cars break on the grid. Then moves on to why there are cars parked here and there around the track emitting toxic, funny colored smoke.
Then the camera switches to the 50 person crew packing up all of the computers and hitting the road because of said smoke.

bonhomme I'm certainly not suggesting reloading now, if one is just starting. Obviously the worst panic since there has been much reloading going on, meaning decades.
Depending on where you are, I'd recommend haunting local/regional online gun forums where people sell their stuff privately. Unlikely in current conditions, but you never know, some guy is always getting out of the hobby and selling his set-up, and maybe for a decent price. That's how I acquired most of mine, but that was in non-panic conditions, and it took some time.
I was talking about out a ways. Of course, I'm not sure, this time, when the panic will finally subside. Last one took a year or more. Seems this one might be much longer than that.

We cut Directv a few years ago and with very few exceptions don't miss it. Looking at the broadcast schedule I was shocked at the small amount of actual entertainment. Lots of 'competition' shows like Survivor, the Batchelor/Bathelorette, and other assorted crap. I cannot stomach the shows that glorify cops, politicians, or the FBI and law enforcement. Talk about fairy tales. Even the commercials are often insipid, sometimes enraging. (The obligatory gay people in the ads are especially tiresome.)
Sports is dead to me. News is completely unreliable for information, including weather reports. That leaves a few reruns of ancient shows like Have Gun Will Travel to watch.
admittedly, I'm long past the desired demographic the networks want to reach. But there must be some programming aimed at Americans.
Mini rant over.

The sports will never completely die, but they will become much more openly just about gambling, which will keep these guys busy. They are a pestilence on sports, but they'll win in the end.

There was a story a few months back where some loser incel guy was mocked by an instagram model, so he doxxed her and showed how much money she was making and paying no taxes. He did it to a bunch of those ho's. They were so pissed when the IRS came calling.
That didn't just happen to one "model". A whole bunch of cam girls got reported to the IRS. They were steaming on Twitter for a while.
I only know about this because a ton of screenshots of cam girls complaining about owing taxes made it onto my twitter feed. A whole bunch of "sex work is real work" "feminists" just about lost their little minds over it.

> He said he had all the tools, just needed a hand.
Ah, yes.
Nothing like being told that the other person "has tools", only to learn that their "tools" consist of a crappy claw hammer, a crappy pair of slip-joint pliers, and an old butter knife to use as a screwdriver.
The only thing worse is when you discover that they've already been "working on it" with their "tools".
Not really related, but I see via Insty that California has just issued a birth certificate for a child with three "parents". All biologically male.
Poor kid.

I and my college senior son who's trapped at home doing online classes have taken to surf fishing every weekend, Friday evening, all day Saturday and Sunday (except for the time we're drinking beer at the great OC beach open air eateries). We were both huge sports fans who haven't watched a game for quite a while now. In the last month I've caught two legal California halibut and he's caught many short halis, plus all manner of other fish. Not missing sports or "entertainment" (more like moralistic flogging) one little bit.

Just as you can point to the introduction of 'news analysis' to newspapers in the 90s as the beginning of the end of the media (even though they had their thumbs on the scales for decades before that), sports really started the decline when sports reporters started veering out of their lane and beginning to opine on societal events, rather than sporting events.
Reporters, who are little more than history's stenographers - which is an important job in itself - had delusions of grandeur to be more than what they are. For me, Mike Lupica was the harbinger of this in sports reportage.
It was only a matter of time that this 'thinking' infected all of sports - and news for that matter.

I decided to quit smoking. Never really had a lot of enthusiasm for quitting before although I occasionally said the right things about should or maybe would. Several years ago when the first e- cigs came on the market I tried them out, not impressed. Carry on with cigarettes.
Back in August, I just got tired of the damned things. Tired of the smell, the stains, the cost. Everything. I bought a fuse vape, got the highest nicotine cartridge and switched over. Have I had a real cig since ? Sure . if it was averaged out, maybe one per week. But I haven't had a real cig in 3 weeks and that last one I stubbed out after half because it was nasty. Now I don't want them at all. I think this applies to sports also. Maybe even other stuff.

the irony is soccer is a British term. They will deny it to all ends, but it is still true. It comes from "association football". The Brits used their love of diminutive terms and called it "soccer" Rugby came from the same place, they called it ruggers. They were all variations of "football". American Football was called Gridiron Football. before the change. Now they will tell you this is bs but they are full of it. They are like the Millennials who think history started the day they were born.
There is a reason one of the oldest UK magazines devoted to "football" is called World Soccer.

As an early adopter of the NFL embargo, I'd love for this to be a long-term trend. But I doubt it will be. A big part of the hit is Covid-related, I think (no sports bars, no home gatherings to watch the games, no workplace watercooler sports talk). Once that goes away, people may will drift back.

Was a die-hard Pats fan for the past decade. After the BLM **** I quit cold-turkey. Don't even miss it. I spend my Sundays hanging out with my family now.
My response to all of my beloved entertainment becoming in-your-face-Woke now has been to build up a stash from The Before Time, when companies cared about making great products instead of pandering to blue checkmarks.
My already huge cache of pre-internet video game carts and discs has practically tripled in size the last two years. I have no regrets paying for all of it because I'd rather play them over and over again than buy into EA's latest woke opus. I still spend the same amount of dosh on video games that I do every year - it's just going into the pockets of eBay sellers instead of woke corporations that hate me.

BLM is a grotesque joke. Blacks are now killing each other in record numbers, and several times now with a baby or a young child victim who was caught in the cross-fire. No problem. What is the problem is when one these hoodlums decides to battle it out with the cops, that's when the BLM team gets miffed.

Back in August, I just got tired of the damned things. Tired of the smell, the stains, the cost. Everything. I bought a fuse vape, got the highest nicotine cartridge and switched over. Have I had a real cig since ? Sure . if it was averaged out, maybe one per week. But I haven't had a real cig in 3 weeks and that last one I stubbed out after half because it was nasty. Now I don't want them at all. I think this applies to sports also. Maybe even other stuff.

Could be. I didn't intend to quit, but the e-cig did the trick. I still consume the evil nicotine, but not the real things anymore. The thing the them (for me, anyway) is that it dealt with the physical aspects of the habit (hand-to-mouth movement, for example) in a way that alternatives don't.

The Olympics coverage in the US is absolutely shit. At any given moment there are dozens of fun or exciting events that get ignored while they broadcast some athlete's sob story or rhythmic gymnastics ribbon twirling or something.
Show Judo, show wrestling, show more downhill events, whatever. Just stop showing 99 minutes of ice skating, 30 minutes of athlete background drama, then 99 minutes of ice skating.

Depending on where you are, I'd recommend haunting local/regional online gun forums where people sell their stuff privately. Unlikely in current conditions, but you never know, some guy is always getting out of the hobby and selling his set-up, and maybe for a decent price. That's how I acquired most of mine, but that was in non-panic conditions, and it took some time.
Thanks for looking out for me, rhomboid. I do appreciate it. When things settle I'll definitely be on the lookout.

Posted by: ... at December 15, 2020 04:04 PM (gFSyp)
this could be a sticky. They are opening up sports betting for a good reason, it supports the sports. And you can throw in fantasy football etc. Without those things, they would be long gone.
I remember when people loved their team simply because it was their team, from they state, town, etc. It really wasn't that long ago, it was the 80s when everyone was into it. These sports chose to make themselves a niche business. The NBA found its future in China, just like the sorry, no account, Kentucky Fried Chicken. If you doubt me, check their history. They realized decades ago they were stagnant here. All their growth comes from China.

I know the Summer Olympics committees have been talking about adding something similar to ice skating for years now.
Olympic Ballroom Dancing, anyone? :-P
Of course, they'll refuse to enforce any sexual role rules. So we'll get men dancing with men, women dancing with men, etc. etc.
Posted by: qdpsteve at December 15, 2020 04:12 PM (L2ZTs)
And yet they won't put in a three-gun competition.

Well "real work" that generates income also generates tax liabilities, so what are they complaining about?
The IRS was just giving their work the recognition they demanded for it!
Posted by: TrivialPursuer at December 15, 2020 04:12 PM (k4dH2)
Because these insta "models" and only fan girls are idiots, and don't understand what taxes are, and were shocked that they're supposed to claim money sent to them by some simp over the cash app as income, and do quarterly reports with the IRS, and withhold money, and FICA withholding, etc.
And then the IRS said "hey, give us 40% of the money you earned this year." and they said "whaaaat?!? No fair!"

Formula 1 is unrelatable to the common man's driving experience.
Those aren't really cars in any real sense. I mean they have a motor, seats, and wheels, but its just a passing resemblance.
And... I like Rhythmic Gymnastics with the ribbon and all. Its not a sport but its like watching a really acrobatic cute girl dance. How is that bad?

Was listening to sports talk radio (I know, I know) and they were interviewing some QB about how they always give canned answers. So they asked him a question about a fake opponent.
"Well, this team is tough. They're well coached. Disciplined. We're going to have to take it one play at a time."
He did that for about four or five questions, never once saying anything you wouldn't hear pre- or post-game.
Was hilarious.

it is a clever joke but unrelated to the history of the sports. They all came from Oxford, Cambridge type events. They were sports played by the elite at university. They were all called football. Gridion football, association football, and rugby football. They were all football and the term had nothing to do with how may times you kick something.

I've been a fan of the New Balance 608 for years. Get it in black. Nice looking leather shoe that can take a lot of punishment, is good for standing for hours on end, and can pass most office dress codes. It's versatile.
My only complaint is that my most recent pair squeaks like crazy due, probably due to the new non-slip soles.

and they never show the combat arts much anymore
or power sports.
NBC usually has raw feeds of the various events available through their app or on their website, but they do a horrible job of getting you at them. click on a specific fencing bout, for example, and they'll drop you at the start of the eight hour video in which the bout you asked for appears with not much clue of when, precisely, it happens.

I feel released. I think and do so many other things now. It really is amazing just how indoctrinated or consumed I was. Fifty some odd years. I guess it's like belonging to a cult.
Well, I did watch the Masters and a few other major golf tourneys. Also watch the US Tennis Open. Neither of these sports play a fake black racist National Anthem or is anyone on the sideline promoting rapists, drug dealers and men who assault other humans.
People stood when the anthem was played and nobody fucking kneeled.

New Balance for me. I have hard to fit feet (I have ludicrously high arches), and they were the first outfit to truly help me. The girl there had me try on a bunch of shoes and then after about pair five she said, "Okay, yeah. You're hard to fit and we're not going to get there right out of the box. Let's mix and match parts until we find the right combination."
It took about an hour - during which time the salesgirl was *incredibly* patient - and at the end I walked out with comfortable shoes for the first time in *years.* They aren't too cheap (not terribly expensive, but they're not bargain basement) but the fit and I am treated like a human being when I go into their stores. I have my sneakers and my boots, both three years old, and both about due for replacement now. I'm going to get precisely the same things again. They just work too well to bother shopping around at this point.

There's a gay rodeo, but as I understand it the gay rodeo has fully-legitimate rodeo events. It's just that all the participants are gay.

I would REALLY love for a big scale, several-year study to see just how effective advertising actually is. Do you actually earn millions more in profit by buying millions of dollars in ads??

I wondered about the efficacy of ads until I married Dolley.
She sees Taco Bell on the screen and then says, "I could use some Taco Bell about now."
That never happened with me.

1) Score more points than the other team
2) Don't let the other team score more points than you
3) Avoid scoring fewer points
My favorite "analysis" is when they say things like guy X just "wanted it more" than guy Y.
Yeah, no. When you get to the pros, those guys have massive egos and monumental desire to win, every time.
That and someone "didn't show up to play" meaning they gave less than their typical performance. That's always a winning piece of analysis.

I wondered about the efficacy of ads until I married Dolley.
She sees Taco Bell on the screen and then says, "I could use some Taco Bell about now."
That never happened with me.
My five year old wants everything he sees in commercials. It doesn't matter if it's for five year old boys or not. He sees a Home Mortgage commercial, he wants it.

Must see TV
Posted by: JB1000 at December 15, 2020 04:24 PM (Kf5r9)
Fun thing: the salary cap was already scheduled to go down this year for the first time ever before the Rona hit and took out their stadium money, which isn't TV money but it ain't a small piece of change either. Now if you figure all those season ticket holders are propping up the ratings, which they also juiced by doing an Obama like "saved or created dodge)...
Next years cap could be a blood bath.
What. a . Shame.

I haven't watched any football this season. I've always been a big Packer fan. But it was easy to turn them off this season. I thought they'd gotten better last season, but of course the NFL betrayed us again this season. And Rodgers reminds us with his comments on Kenosha that being a good quarterback doesn't mean your a genius.
It's like Joe Theisman said, "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."

I would REALLY love for a big scale, several-year study to see just how effective advertising actually is. Do you actually earn millions more in profit by buying millions of dollars in ads??
=
That work has been done.
The amount of money spent worldwide, tells you what the reports showed. Of course, there is a huge amount of BS in that kind of science and its real easy to waste a shit ton of money on ads.
Every see a political ad that affected you?
Same thing happens with car ads.
Good ads cause a good reaction/emotion - enough times and that good reaction is emotionally attached to the product, if the ad is done right. When it works its literally hypnosis.
Ads can be designed to build that connection, or designed just to get attention - like a desperate aging ex sorority sister who knows she is aging out of the market, going with the halter top and daisey duke's at the alumni get together.

A big thing in the 1980s when I got my Technics was having to buy your own cartridge. It has a "T4P" mount, which was plug-and-play for that item, so that you didn't have to mess around with really tiny screws.

Tulsi is still hard left on a lot of issues, such as gun control. She needs work. If you could convince her to move away from her hard-left views then she'd be an interesting face for a new party. Part of the reason that I want Trump to form a new political party is that the GOP brand is tainted, and there are a lot of conservative Dems who could be convinced to join a MAGA party who would never register GOP.

Merrells. More like hiking sneakers/boots but they are probably the most comfortable footwear I've ever worn. And I also wear Chippewa boots - made in the USA. Nice boot.

WB is probably glad that their Rona plan of dumping films on HBO Max will keep the public from realizing just how little the public wants to see Batman as played by a scarecrow.
Now the question is do they sue him for refusing to workout, which should have been in any competent contract.

I'm very late to this thread, but my theory is that sports viewership has declined in part due to emotional burnout. Watching sports, and especially rooting for a team, involves an emotional investment. Fans of most teams are going to be disappointed more often than not. This is fine in normal, stable times because for most people, most of the time, life is pretty consistent and boring and inserting a little fake drama is fun. But in this ongoing slog of COVID plus everything being politics all the time, people don't have the emotional surplus to invest in frivolity. If they're going to consume entertainment, they want to know that it's going to have a happy ending. If you're a Broncos fan, for example, you know things are going to end badly, so why get worked up about it at all?

So later, the captain asks him if he was in a porn and he instantly says "no that wasn't me, see that guy has a tattoo on his ass, and I don't!" (pulling his pants down to show his lack of a tat)

Not a spokesmen for them. But i recall Mephisto as very expensive shoes designed with no fashion in mind. They are uber rugged shoes for people who have feet problems and want to have as little pain as possible walking. The shoes last forever to be honest. I have a few pair but the sandals stood out. You can send them the shoes back in 6 or 7 years for a resole for about $40. The shoes themselves last forever.

Lebron working at a carwash is probably something we'll never see. Probably.

That's what I really want too and that includes Goddell and the rest of the leftist execs. Let them all take a yuge hit because of their wokeness.

and since you we are in the weeds here, and I like to recommend stuff. I
say go with Thorlo socks. There are others out there that are quite
good, but a nice pair of Thorlo socks in a really nice shoe will make a
crapload of a difference. The troops used to go for them, at least the
people in the know.

I used to work there years ago. Absolutely the best sock you can wear -- at least up until the past year or so. The manufacturer sold off the brand to some marketing company. The hosiery mill will continue to make them, last I heard. They are one of the last 100% USA made sock makers left.

I think for a lot of us, news was what made us rethink watching Big TV. There has been no journalism there (except, for a while, Fox) since about 2008. Now all the real news is on BlazeTV and podcasts, and what's left of Hollywood isn't worth the gaslighting that comes with it. The Big Media no longer have anything I want.
In related news, the Comptroller of the Currency (which regulates banks) has proposed a rule that would make access to the banking system a civil right, so that the kind of blacklisting that Visa, PayPal, and Chase do would be illegal. You can submit comments on it here:

>I've never understood the appeal of actually watching the Olympics.
Before we were completely ruined by the Bakakke Media, it was a huge event.
IF you wanted to see one of the more esoteric events, you HAD to be tuned in at all sorts of odd hours.
Now you can select between Curling matches, Live.

The Olympics were big because it was a way to fight the Commies without using actual bullets. Once that passed they were doomed to die.

Nope, rugby is facing litigation because of the concussion problem. They are following the same problem the NFL went through due to players' lawsuits.

579- if you are not looking for style, but actual walking support, i suggest SAS. San Antonio Shoes made in San Antonio Texas. They have some walking shoes that are rated for all types of orthodics if one needs them. The show quality is out of this world imo. Other than that, for a running shoe, yeah Brooks.
Posted by: Quint at December 15, 2020 04:21 PM
Quint- I will look for those. I do much more walking than jogging these days. As I mentioned above, I have some Keens that are good for trail hiking but they wear my feet out on a paved surface after about 3-4 miles.

they're good. I can't tell you the one I picked but it is a walking shoe type tennis shoe. Call them, they have very good customer service. There is a specific walking shoe that gets lot of plaudits. That is what I went for and I have never looked back.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive
a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
