So the fact that more people watch the NFL than bad tired sitcoms and beta singing shows is not the point USN or anyone with a brain is making. Of course more people watch live sports- always have. The point is- read slowly- NFL ratings are down compared to PAST NFL RATINGS- in a big way. Do more people watch the NFL than scripted singing shows? yes and who cares.

More people watch the NFL than scripted shows. More people don't watch other sports. The HOF game (first preseason game) did better ratings than most of the MLB and NBA playoffs. The Saturday night CFB game was #13. AL Wildcard (cable) did a 2.1, compared to 3.1 for The Voice.

you do realize that ratings were down last year compared to prior years, alot of that was blamed on the election, this year ratings are down from the lower ratings last year.... so unless you do some wierd ass math..... RATINGS ARE DROPPING, the problem is the big tv contracts are based on certain ratings and thus a crap load of the revenue per team is based on that. So these dumb morons that are pissing off their consumers..... are going to kill their paychecks....great plan

The stations sell advertising based on ratings. If they aren’t delivering the same ratings as last year, ad revenue will go down. This isn’t about total eyeballs on the game, but whether there are more, or less this year than last.

Very insightful! USN said the NFL is failing. The #1 sport isn't failing no more than Apple is failing when they report 60 billion in profits as opposed to 70 billion.

Sure you did, that's why your office collateral duty is IT weenie.

I thought you were in high school in 97 based on previous posts.
Why if I was in H.S. in 97 would I not be able to purchase stock in January 2016?

Wow, you're special. You should pass this on to all the advertisers who paid for commercials thinking these games would get better ratings.

H2's Forrest Gump NFL 2Big2Fail campaign continues.
You should have bought Apple in January 2016.

People overpay for things all the time. That doesn't make what they pay for a failure, it just means the buyers valuation was off. Stupid is as stupid does.
Please update my printer driver when you get a chance. Thanks.

Insightful. You shouldn't take out your lack of ability to value/think logically on me.

Because nobody cares if you invested your $257.72 in Pizza Hut earnings in Apple stock.

Why if I was in h.s. in 97 would I be working at Pizza hut now?

I have a pretty damn good record on stocks here, and general understanding of the economy and finance. Regardless if it was 200, or 2,000, or 20,000 or 200,000 (it wasn't sadly), the fact that I see Apple as not a failure, and by your logic Apple was a failure, is telling.

I also don't consider someone overpaying for X an indication that X is failing. That's just stupid, but that's how you think about things.

So the fact that more people watch the NFL than bad tired sitcoms and beta singing shows is not the point USN or anyone with a brain is making. Of course more people watch live sports- always have. The point is- read slowly- NFL ratings are down compared to PAST NFL RATINGS- in a big way. Do more people watch the NFL than scripted singing shows? yes and who cares.
More people watch the NFL than scripted shows. More people don't watch other sports. The HOF game (first preseason game) did better ratings than most of the MLB and NBA playoffs. The Saturday night CFB game was #13. AL Wildcard (cable) did a 2.1, compared to 3.1 for The Voice.

Is the NFL failing?
YOY? Yes, it would appear so.
Unqualified. Is the NFL failing?
Unqualified my ass. Apple and the NFL are not analogous. At all.
