TNT fukkin up this season too. They got the Lakers@Suns as their second game on Thursday :mjlol:


Edif-Actually looking at the entire game schedule on Thursday, the only other game in nighttime slot was Philly/Portland and they play at 7 instead of 7:30. I'll give them a pass, they had no choice :hubie:

No, they didn't want it because they had a hit show with housewives. Al Michaels and bill Simmons talked about this. It was idiotic especially since SNF is the biggest show on tv
SNF is where it is because dikk Ebersol knows how to produce TV. Meanwhile ABC to this day would rather show celebrity ballroom dancing than ever reconsider getting MNF back. ABC wasn't interested in moving around or pre-empting their TV lineup for football they didn't want. Remember, back then ESPN had SNF, and ABC already didn't wanna keep MNF (without ESPN, MNF woulda probably been an NFL Network exclusive).

It's funny how they complaining about subscription declining when (as of a few years ago) they were getting the most money per subscription that wasn't a premium channel (HBO, Showtime, etc). ESPN was getting like $5 and change per subscription. Premium channels get like $11 per subscription. It's them paying all that money in NFL & NBA deals than it is the on air talent salaries that's costing them

Wow that is fukking terrible who the fukk is determining these weekday national tv slots. They had Dallas and Minnesota slotted for a Friday game after the break but thankfully they put Boston vs Toronto on. Who really thought a game involving Dallas and Minnesota was worthy of being on national TV? Lakers/Suns isn't even deserving of being on Spectrum Sportsnet let alone TNT I might just tune in to hear Barkley crush everyone for showing that shyt.

I'm a way your right. But cutting the cord is a more widespread movement than getting the black boxes from back in the day and it's easier for anybody to do.

both the NFL and NBA are cheeks at the moment to be real with you

College basketball cheeks too. Not a great time for sports
