    LOL!!! Wouldn't that make all of us crusty dwellers? all of us have made comments that fall under that umbrella. Including the one you just made,(or crusty forum dwellers) (Figured you would. Crusty dwellers are predicable.)

    It's laughable you name call, and your statement is just you being a crusty dweller yourself.. LOL!!!

    When I was 13, I went to charm school with a cat named "Crusty Dweller" and I don't think he would appreciate being denigrated in such a manner. Good day.

    Glad you saw that. Yes, most of us are crusty forum dwellers. It wasn't name calling, but an observation of people who are outside of the demographic that matters to the recording industry or the marketing for the Superbowl.

    About 75% of people aged 18-34 watch the Super Bowl and just over half (54%) of viewers are men.

    But the NFL isn’t just a young person’s game. More than 60% of adults aged 65+ tuned in to the Super Bowl as well.

    Not a TS fan either, but I find it funny that people get mad at HER because the TV cameras show her so much. It’s not like she’s asking for it. She’d probably prefer to just watch the game without having cameras on her.

    Two things can be true at once - she can be a (somewhat) self-made billionaire, AND she can be an auto-tuned celebrity (and not a musician).

    She has her niche, and she makes a ton of money off it, nobody has a problem with that. Thing is, as with most celebrities in music or film, they get to a point where they believe their influence matters greatly. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, just as long as they believe it does. I don't think I have to say it, but most are pretty tired of celebrity opinions on anything, especially politics. So if you want to throw your hat in that ring, you have to expect the downsides as well and the critics who will come out of the woodwork. Being a celebrity doesn't make you immune to it.

    My email keeps getting spammed with alerts about new posts in this goddamn thread even though I turned off email notifications, have no bookmarks active for the thread or any damn thing else. I am getting sick of it.

    Well, you started it. You should be able to say when it ends. ;)

    oversite...you took my post off of this thread about real facts about TS and why she got booed at the Super Bowl.


    Oversite, listen to the original poster and take it all OFF!

    Somebody else can open a new NFL thread later in the year.

    Funny how the trajectory of this thread mirrors that of the NFL itself….

    Wait, what?

    This thread is circling the drain and the NFL is a juggernaut that is dwarfing every other sport. I don't agree with your comparison.

    Perhaps you need a new mirror...🤔

    Being the fastest car in the junkyard is nothing to brag about. True, the NFL isn’t down as much as the NBA or MLB…. Yet. Sunday afternoon viewership was down 3% last year, and Monday night was down 14%. Things are getting so bad that networks are dumping the NFL, forcing it to streaming platforms (which most fans hate, due to the fact that it’s so hard to switch between games). Further, the NFL keeps tinkering with the game, eliminating what fans loved about if fo generations. Gone are the days of exciting hits, bitter rivalries and thrilling comebacks…Added to all that, younger generations are showing little interest in sports - indeed, legacy sports are one, maybe two generations away from complete irrelevance.

    The networks moving games to streaming is because they are following the trend of people "cutting the cord" and not paying the ridiculous prices for cable/satellite TV. It also doesn't allow people to skip commercials like DVRs do.
    Switching between games? YouTube TV has a four in one screen option, and that's only option to get Sunday Ticket now. It's designed for watching multiple games. Again, they are following the trends.
    If anything is going to be irrelevant in one or two generations, it is the old concept of having a cable TV bill monthly.

    What will become irrelevant in a generation or two are us baby boomers. And the world will be a much better place when this happens.

    And the NFL will still be around.



    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    When it all goes to streaming I'll still be enjoying my OTA antenna.
