RIPPA Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 From what I can gather - it is somewhat the same from week NFL Network will always be airing a game at 8 pm on Sat and Sun The Sunday early afternoon game will be on some sort of CBS affiliated station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The only things that are going to change, AFAIK, is CBS proper won't have a game most weeks, and part way through the season the TNT games will move to their streaming service thing.

RIPPA Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 For all intents and purposes - Dundon bought the entire league Vince has to be thrilled that he dodged that bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is about twice as much as it would take to fix the Flint Water crisis by the way...but fixing a second rate football league is much more important than that. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Having like 2,000 fans at the games in massive stadiums probably doesn't help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 San Diego football is like indie wrestling. The promotions who can only get 2000 are running in stadiums that hold probably 20,000 while the NFL team that could easily hold 60,000 is probably running in a building that holds half that. I bet if you look at history a few of those WFL teams in the 70's died before it made it to the first game. The problem is that all I hear is how the NFL is kind of involved. If so I guess that also shows another example of Goddell stupidity to not make it past week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Interestingly, San Antonio's attendance actually increased from Week 1-2. They're outdrawing the Chargers, FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Orlando also drew 20K+ in their first game too San Diego claimed 20K and the game mentioned above (in the rain) which clearly was tickets sold and not people who walked into the stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so true, especially in sports. Think about how many of the people covering sports leagues are also either paying or getting paid by that sports league. Think about how the NFL basically got a concussion documentary pulled from the air, or David Stern stopping Stan Van Gundy from being hired by ESPN, or the fact that almost every baseball team in a major market has its own network to cover their games. It's bad enough that people have their biases, but when the entire industry has biases you should always be skeptical of how things get covered. Dave Meltzer is actually one of the few "sports" journalists who I think is giving his actual opinion on matters, because he has a platform that exists independent of the sport he covers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Also - and this is coming from Steve Spurrier so... yeah - but the apparent reason the AAF needed the cash was because an original investor bailed on them Quote “I think what happened is an original investor sort of led us into believing he could come up with the money to get us through the first year, and then he sort of bailed out,” Spurrier told Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel. “He didn’t have [the money], and we found Tom Dundon. I think [Dundon] liked the idea so much, he became the majority owner [of the league] and now we’re all set to go for quite a while.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
