The whole elam ending shyt is wack too. The average dumbass fan don’t wanna turn on the game and see the whole score reset each quarter like nikkas playing price is right or some shyt 
It’ll probably be $50 billion over 10 years.
And y'all still believe they're getting $75 billion for their media rights.
The NFL could put on a flag football league tomorrow with practice players and have more viewers than the NBA regular season.
Disney (ABC/ESPN) paying $2 billion per year.
WBD (TNT) paying $2 billion per year.
Then a third partner let’s say Comcast (NBC) pays $1 billion a year.

At this point, put the game at the end of the play-offs like the Pro Bowl.
Final send-off game before the off-season and any champions on the team can have one game to show off their championship status.
Lowkey an NFL celebrity flag football would be fun af to watch. End zone dances by some of these artists would be

Well going out and having one of the worst all star games ever isn't a good way to prove them wrong.Media, OG players, and some current have talked down the All star game what was anyone expecting? Of course it be low they tell people all the time NBA sucks
Pros play MUCH harder in the Drew.

Compare the ASG from 11 years ago to today:
Right from the start, there's at least a bare minimum of effort. Any 1-on-1 matchup was taken seriously, guys are still having to set screens, there's even half-hearted transition defense. Are they still getting the fukk out of dodge for dunks? Yeah. But none of the "No sir, after you" bullshyt we had on Sunday.

The league got better athletes and shooters but can't bring the ratings up during an All Star game.

They gonna have to put Bad Cac Mac in the actual game next year 
Even that is NFL money per media partner though. ESPN right now pays 2.7 billion per year to broadcast MNF for an average of 21 million viewers per game. NBA averages around 1-2 million per game. The math doesn't add up for ESPN to pay that much for a Bron-less, KD-less, Curry-less NBA.
Their current deal is $24 billion for 9 years. They're starting the media push for $75 billion now and Iger/Zaslav gotta be laughing in their office at that number. Even $50 billion is a Dr. Evil number.
Disney is paying like $1.4 billion per year. Another $600M ain’t out of the question.
WBD is paying like $1.2 billion per year right now.
So you’re thinking the league bringing a third partner will only get them marginally closer to $35 billion over 10 years?

Maybe if the game was on network TV instead of cable it would draw more numbers.
Pretty much yeah. 40 tops.
Another $600 million isn't a drop in the bucket. That's almost a 50% increase in price on a re-up for ESPN and even more for Warner for a declining product.
They can't just claim for their partners to pay +50% or more without justification. Warner just spent a ton on Charles and the gang so I think they'll keep the rights, I don't get what value they're presenting their partners with the extreme increased cost other than pointing to it being live sports
