I feel like it's a bit of a stretch to flame someone for using a Foghorn Leghorn saying, but a dude commenting on NBA for a living should probably know better.

I think there is enough room to know that Gatorade has probably enough interesting tidbits and innovation to warrant a book but have it also hilarious that Darren Rovell wrote it and uses it to gatekeep people on Twitter.

FlamingLiberal posted:I’m pretty sure the 3-4 seeds in the West could all have beaten this Cavs team Nah, Boston was pretty equivalent or slightly better than Portland/OKC by most metrics and that was a close series. I expect Cleveland against either would could have gone either way, but I don't know that they'd even be favorites. Toronto was way better than the 3/4 seeds but I won't use them for shookness reasons.

"This video contains content from the NFL, who has blocked it from display" It's impossible to talk about the NFL trying to innovate slightly without remembering they are the NFL.

xbilkis posted:but also Comparing single game ratings when NBA has 6x the number of games isn't exactly an apples-to-apples. edit: I think NFL viewership is doing fine, but dismissing the the fact that one sport is rising and the other isn't because one sport isn't on for 82 vs 16 regular season games isn't proving much either.

Boston and Philadelphia aren't good? Some of this is just a natural eb and flow coming off a few years of growth. It seems like the NFL is a little more engaging this year and some of the NBA viewership may be going there right now.

Players generally like the bye weeks and it would be easier on their bodies. It would mean a week less of off season but they'd probably be ok with it. Added revenue to go to the salary cap would be gravy.

NBA's ratings were softly high last year for a few different reasons, so this regression isn't a big surprise. Lebron taking a semi-sabbatical and the fact that NBA is going to be a canary for moving to streaming is going to accelerate the dip.

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:me either. berman has his faults but he was really good at being a belligerent idiotic sports guy recapping the day's games. i used to watch that every week, NBC's doesn't have the music and is not as good I thought Berman was decent at what he did but he has/had a REALLY over-inflated sense of his importance to the football world. I recall some interview he gave where he matter-of-factly stated that he was a major reason for NFL's popularity surge in such a way that it was a given everyone knew about.

Yeah, there have been many JVG rants that I've really liked but the frequency of those vs "old man yells at TV" is definitely moving in the wrong direction the further JVG gets from the actual game. What I'm saying is color commentators, like Supreme Court Justices, probably should have term limits.

Edward Mass posted:My dad thought about cutting the cord, so I did some math based on his and my mother's viewing patterns. It turns out their tastes are so varied, cable is cheaper than the mix-and-match of "cable with buffering" services they'd need to get. My wife was kinda the same way, but when I canceled cable and got an OTA antenna and Hulu (we already had Netflix) she just changed what she was watching. A lot of stuff on cable is pretty much replacable background noise.
