The Gipper Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Well I guess I am going to boycott this NFL game tonight....but not voluntarily. It is only shown on the NFL Network, and my cable company doesn't provide that. And, you know, if they are talking about a ratings decline, it is likely far more over the fact that the NFL is branching off into these specialty....(read, very limited) venues of showing their product. NFL Network, and what? Yahoo access or Amazon Prime or some such nonsense? And all for money....yet....riddle me this: wouldn't they make a lot more money showing these games to the largest possible audience. You know, like broadcasting them on CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN. You know...the networks that everybody gets? Anyway, about the game, As you may know, this is THE longest standing, most played rivalry in the history of the NFL, Bears vs. Packers. And I heard that the all time head to head record is 94-94-6. And the teams are only 4 points apart in all these years. And those years number 96 years (or...96 tears?) since 1921.

Wow, 94-94-6 is pretty cool. Sad to see that they will overshadow this once epic rivalry with the stupid shit the NFL has allowed to fester and cloud the game this season (a carry-over from last season, even). Pathetic. I'll tune-in from a bar somewhere, hoping Trubisky plays, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATENEARS Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hey Gipper, Why do I owe you a pitcher of Margarita's? If I remember right, you wanted to bet that Trubisky wouldn't be the first overall picked, but I don't remember taking that bet as I NEVER thought he would be. Is that correct, or am I just forgetting something here? You in town this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they got trounced by the Bucs, but they did come back and beat the Steelers and played the Falcons with 6pts. The game will be much closer than you think and with the Packers injuries, the Bears might just win out right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that whether he should or should not go that high that he WILL be drafted in the Top 10...and of course he was. I was hoping that you were right and that he would fall to the Browns with their second pick...where (which was like #12). I may have to go revive the thread to confirm what I claim here, but I think I am right. I am around...or can be. I had asked Z to PM me his text numbers to let me know what, if anything is going on. Don't know that I got that yet. I can PM you with that. Steve plans to go up for the tailgate, not sure about the rest of his weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of utilizing streaming for new programming has swung to the riduculous. It should swing back to a sensible level soon. Another example is CBS who just debuted a big budget new Star Trek series. The only way to watch in US is via their streaming about close to $9 per month. It's literally the only original content on there you can't watch on network tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st episode of Discovery was great, big budget special effects. But am I going to buy the streaming service @ $9 a month for one show? Nope. Basically PPV, and IMHO, CBS is making a big mistake. I'm sure NFL exexs have tossed around the idea of making the Super Bowl PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
