I rarely watch it now. I don't know why. Guess I just don't want to give up 3-4 hours of my day for it anymore.
Local ratings down significantly in NFL’s biggest markets

another underrated reason at least in NY is that the weather's been NICE.
No rain for a month, 70s all month long. No reason to be cooped up at home when you know it won't be long til you're trapped in there til early May.

Baseball is my favorite sport but it has its fair share of issues as well. Lack of star power in small markets, teams with terrible offenses like the 2024 Yankees somehow making the World Series, the Colorado Rockies just being a completely hopeless franchise, etc.Seems like CFB & MLB are the only sports on here that folks don’t think have a bad product right now
If the Dodgers attempt to get Soto, Manfred gotta block that shyt on some David Stern "baseball reasons" tip. Dodgers already stacked WITHOUT Soto, with Soto they might three peat without breaking a sweat.
Also they want to expand MLB, I'm against that as there's not enough talent to go around for every team to be respectable. If it wasn't for DR supplying talent it would be looking real spooky for baseball with the team it has right now
If MLB expands we will see some truly awful baseball being played as there's not enough MLB talent in this country to support expansion.NBA and CFB are the only good products overall right now IMO. I'm a Mets fan and my team is good and well run but I want to see MLB have a good product overall
It's possible NHL has a good product too but I don't watch Hockey.
Post season wasn't that good. First round was solid and that was it. ALCS was pretty much blow outs (Dodgers and Mets went 6, but most of the games wasn't close) and WS was done in 5 games.

The weather is why I didn't watch NBA playoff games that was played on Saturday/Sunday afternoons
Those first NYC warm days be popping up while the NBA playoffs is going on.Rather hang out in Central Park and enjoy the nice weather than sit indoors and watch basketball

Only the first two games of the ALCS were blowouts. One was decided by the walkoff HR by Cleveland, one in OT, and the other with the Yankees breaking a tie in the top of the 9th with 2 runs. The ALCS was entertaining as hell.
Guardians lost in 5 games and at no point did anyone think they had a legit chance at winning. The game the Guardians won, the Yankee fans were more mad Judge lost his post season moment than they were worried about the Guardians winning the series.
Even as a Yankee hater, there wasn't a single second that I thought they was gonna win. Guardians looked out match because they couldn't hit.

That doesn't mean they weren't entertaining games because it was assumed one team would win. Those games were anything from being locks. We see underdogs win all the time even if overmatched talent wise in baseball. These ain't like the NBA where the overmatched team is a near lock to win the series.

Yeha I don't see em either.
It's only about local ratings and of course shytty teams will get local markets disinterested.
Idk how the chargers local ratings dipped by 25%, probably a couple of fans turned off their TV randomly.
Ehhhh I guess. As the games were happening, most never felt that much in the balance. They felt like Chief games lowkey. lol. Look closer than they actually feel.

Nah I fully disagree. Yankees been notorious for choking in the playoffs. Check the season thread during those games. They were for sure they were about to blow every game at the first bad play or hit given up.

Texans play 3 games in 10 days. CrazyDont forget Thursday night games and flying all over the world. Its comical...they cut back on practice and hitting but added a game. Bu...bu...but player safety though.

Dog folks don’t give a shyt about player safety. Denzel Ward got double the concussions Tua has had and the conversations on what his future holds ain’t nothing like Tua’s. Olave been getting block knocked off two straight seasons. Ain’t a soul talked bout his loved ones need to drag him from the game.Dont forget Thursday night games and flying all over the world. Its comical...they cut back on practice and hitting but added a game
Fair enough. Maybe if I was neutral my perspective would be different.
Didnt the Jets just do that? I remember when 3 in 17 was something a few year back when I believe the Ravens did it. Now 3 in 10 or 11 is basically commonplace. They show 0 fukks with the scheduling. You would think they would have Thursday games after a bye or after another Thursday night game. But nope they dont think twice about having a team play in Thursday after playing a short week the week before. Used to get a bye after playing in London. Now they just act like its any other game.
