Around The NFL - 2022

[SD]

Rams claimed Mayfield

[PhillyPhreak54]

Wonder if SF put in a claim and the Rams did it to block them

[QB Eagles]

Shanahan blew off the idea of wanting Mayfield so I doubt it.

[Diomedes]

They're talking up Purdy like they'd rather have no one else.

for any of my sunday ticket users

[General_Failure]

This is the shteintiest timeline.

[PhillyPhreak54]

the NFL people must be aghast that someone is equally as arrogant as they are

So, Todd Martzke, explain the CBS/FOX thing. If I have Sunday ticket I am still watching games that are broadcast through those networks.

[MDS]

any game that is given to you on fox/cbs will continue to be unavailable on the ticket

the easiest answer here is that cbs and fox pay a billion per year and they want to drive audience there and protect them as much as possible

[PhillyPhreak54]

ah i see - hence the arcane and completely idiotic blackout rules

[QB Eagles]

Apple likes global rights and no blackouts, like they got with MLS. They would also like the ability to have some room to innovate with the broadcasts.

These things are anathema for the NFL.

[MDS]

like any business, its profit maximization

if they charged xx for every game no blackout, people would buy that and never watch cbs/fox. the value of the deal would go down and the league wouldnt make it up on an increase in subs. if you like that idea, its exactly what MLS is doing starting next year. you pay like $200 or something and get every single match. ill let you figure out the viewership differences between the nfl and mls.

[Diomedes]

I'll take a stab at it

no one watches baseball

everyone watches football

more or less

[MDS]

mls would be soccer, mlb is baseball. but sure.

mls viewership is better than it was but we're talking about a product that averages like 500k viewers versus one that just got 25 mil for a brock purdy blowout

[Diomedes]

Oh, you said MLS

same difference
