On a scale from 1-10, with 10 being the highest in regards to dumbness, they are a 15. I'll pile on here, Thursday night football Allowing refs to decide games when they have the technology to fix this mess is available. Putting NFL football on Amazon Prime. Putting games on Peacock and charging for a game. Sideline reporters. No one gives a shit about their dumb ass questions. I'm sure there is more that I am missing.

The playoff game on Peacock erked me. Ownership/leadership's league wide strategy here is a little befuddling to me.
I don't think this product is what it used to be. Maybe I'm getting older, or maybe it is just getting worse. Part of me believes we're watching this evolve into something else entirely, like Camp, Heisman, and the forward pass. Part of that I can understand. I don't understand how making the product less accessible, especially during the most important time of the year with the league's poster boy during prime time, helps with growth. The product on the field is questionable, it's accompanying coverage is hardly objective and is often unpalatable. In my experience, typically, fathers who have intimate experience with the game generally have conflicting feelings about letting their sons play. When I was a kid, a lot of other kids got "pushed" into football but I see a lot more parents being a lot more protective about that now (rightfully so). If the product is already questionable, I already have experience with this to know there are better hobbies to push my kids into, and my kids can't even watch the fucking games? Where is this going? I hope the spring league works. Competition is necessary. |

They know what they’re doing…. When I watch games on the app I don’t like backing out of the app so I’m on the app the entire game. Games on regular TV besides the Colts I will channel surf during commercials. So putting games on the app makes fuckers like me stay there because don’t wanna deal with the backing out and reload buffer bs

The streaming only games are annoying, but I'm sure it's all about the money Amazon and NBC are paying. And to be a little fair to the Peacock game, you can have 3 different logins stream Peacock at the same time so it's easy to share your account if you so choose. |

"Gene, this is Troy. Coming out of the timeout we just saw the ref run up and sucker punch a mom who was holding a baby in the first row. The baby fell and died and the mom is in the IR with a brain bleed and isn't expected to make it. What are your thoughts here?" "Well Troy one thing we have to consider is we aren't there so we don't really know what mom said to provoke that. When I was a ref often times fans would say I blew a call- and that's not really acceptable. Brad Allen is one of the all time best to ever do this, the very best. For Brad to feel he had to kill a baby and likely the baby's mother, that mom very likely claimed Brad made a bad call vs the Lions, and ya know, I think I can understand why Brad would react like that, I really do. Most of these games, nearly all of them, the people are there to watch us make calls and huddle for 3-4 minutes and then look great on the TV when we finally address the penalty. When a fan, even a mother of a baby dares to insinuate we aren't great, well I think that has an impact on the integrity of the game and that carries consequences. So I think Brad did the right thing there, and I think we just play on." |

Pile on:
I cannot stand they way every camera is a slow zoom until they can't keep the picture steady. Holy crap guys! Just show the field. We miss SO much of the game because of this stupid ass competition to see who can zoom the most! Why do they zoom in on the ball when it is in the air? Just show the area of the play or better yet, *gasp* the field!!!! Zoom on replays if you must...

That said, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Walter Camp/John Heisman reference here. Well done, Mr. Session. Way to bring it. |
