DJExile posted:I'm gonna give Matt a little benefit of the doubt here because last night he was better than anything he's done in the booth in the last 8 years. He's still not spectacular or anything but he seemed pretty comfortable and more in his element. He did okay except he kept pointing to the screen instead of using his telestrator which got on my nerves

DJExile posted:I'd really love to see the Film Room idea expanded to other sports because it has an absolute shitload of potential, especially for big NBA playoff games, the upcoming World Cup, etc. The only thing with the NBA is that because the pace is so quick that you can't really break down a play without missing three or four others in the process.

Bob Costas' gross face and everything being on tape delay are a good 1-2 punch to get me to skip the Olympics. He looks like a stoned child molester.

Ho Chi Meeeeee posted:Gus Johnson is terrible at football. He just reminds me of a shittier, more banal version of Ray Hudson. He doesn't really know how to call it or the flow of the game so he gets excited for anything that might call for excitement. Same thing is why he's lovely with combat sports.

I assume ESPN2 would have been airing a mid-tier college basketball game which could probably have done better than ~400,000 viewers (and that was their money telecast with celebrities and poo poo)

as it stands they have no economic reason to do so; if disney can get you to pay for disney’s streaming service and for a dedicated “geek” service with marvel and lucasfilms properties and then license their fox and abc properties, it makes more economic sense and has less risk than bundling it all into one even if consumers would be happier if the nfl didn’t already exist as an ironclad mutually assured destructive enterprise with the owners i would imagine they’d model themselves after the ncaa in terms of regional networks along with one delusional team in texas with their own channel; i know there are regional sports networks that sort of fill this niche already but those aren’t owned by the nfl or their teams

harperdc posted:Doesn’t Daniel Snyder also own the/a regional sports channel in the DMV area already? I know part of the complaint about him/his team is that the local media he owns provides pillowy soft coverage of the Washington Racial Slurs. that’s true; what i meant to/should have said was these channels don’t feature the nfl’s branding or the branding of the individual teams so they aren’t inextricably linked like, say, the longhorn network FuzzySkinner posted:While I rather appreciate the revenue sharing model the NFL has as a fan of a small market? while a la carte sports consumption will suck in many ways, this will be a welcome change; i also think the revenue sharing is good in a sense that it forces teams to acknowledge that they are all part of one larger team and that they need to act in the common interest even as they compete with each other (although that leads to leaguewide blackballing and price fixing on safety salaries so maybe actually a bad thing)

iwentdoodie posted:My thing with Norfolk/HR getting a team is will they actually go and be fans? I see it having that many viewers as a symptom of the population base (primarily transient, not native) watching their home town team. yes and no; like kibner said you have to play the long game and you’ll sell tickets to games just on the basis of the large transient population going to see their favorite teams when they come into town but if the team is run well and wins it’ll attract fans from all over virginia just on the basis of proximity

Rick posted:That lead to a bad year last year, but there has been a nice uptick which had been lead by them finally having a Clipper team that is drawing interest and a Lakers team that is winning. But they definitely need a good team as a draw for the early game for sure. it’s also worth mentioning that the celtics are Good again so they’ll probably bring an influx of fans in and the raptors are holding steady even without kawhi but neither of those teams has a certified star on them to draw in people who otherwise wouldn’t be watching; durant coming back would also help shore up those early tv schedylea i would think giannis would be on tv as often as the nba could get away with but hey what can you do
