stevewin Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Any word on eliminating the ESPN and Fox Sunday shows? How about all the announcers? How am I supposed to make truck buying decisions without Denis Leary and generic, non threatening bearded Chevy guy advising me 30 times per hour? On a semi-related note - watching the NCAA tournament last week I feel like I watched the same commercials 100 times each. It got to the point I literally sometimes changed the channel just to watch anything else (even another commercial) until a game was back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 If the NFL wants to catch up with modern times, they need a subscription service run entirely online. I don't even have cable anymore, neither do a lot of people in their 20s like me. I would pay $100 a year for a service like NFL Gamepass that also gave you access to live streams of every game, and I'm sure many fans would agree.

Ittakestime Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I still don't understand how the richest sports league in the world can figure out how to play 45 mins straight without a commercial, but sports in America (besides soccer) are constantly interrupted by dumb ads. I would rather see an ad on a jersey or next to the scoreboard, than have to stop the game for 2 and half mins. I barely watch commercials, end up changing channel or scrolling through phone.

CountDorkula Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) I forget exactly what Goddell said but if you can find the presser from super bowl week or any follow up that might help. Some radio guys suggested different things they would do to reduce the amount of actual commercials. Some of it had to do with half screen ads after touchdowns and extra points and never actually cutting away for a commercial break. This Touchdown brought to you by. That touchdown celebration brought to you by That power spike of the football brought to you by That sound tackle brought to you by That kickoff brought to you by That Incomplete pass brought to you by That interception brought to you by That fist down brought to you by That ad I just read brought to you by Edited March 22, 2017 by CountDorkula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 wow goodell is actually starting to worry about the quality of the product instead of revenue for a change. Hard to believe he's doing something smart for once. Next thing I want done is for there to be an option to mute the color commentator and analyst. I just want to hear the sounds of the game.

Dont worry they will find ways to recoup that money Ad's on jerseys. Everything will have an ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 But I love seeing commercials right after the extra point...and then more commercials right after the kickoff. It's my favorite part of the entire game to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really bothers me now in the tournament games sometimes between foul shots now they throw up ads at the bottom of the screen. Is nothing sacred?

[Mike Rowe voiceover] This is the all new Ford super duty charged. FX50. it's got this. and that. and this. and it comes fully loaded with this and that, so that you can do this and that, without having to ever deal with this. because when you do this for a living, you have to have a truck that's just as that.

Punching Bag Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 This is awesome news. all the commercials made the games almost un-watchable. Now just the team can do that for me. We need some on board to make it unwatchable for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 What is the Mike and Mike show? Right Alex? They torture al Qaeda prisoners in some black site prison with an endless loop of Mike and Mike saying "Subway Fresh Take Hotline". Then they move onto Dixie and the Midnight Runners.

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Such weird 'thinking' taking place. From the league's financial perspective, I've gotta think the extra point move was to make the XP more dramatic... which it now is, cough Mr. Carpenter, forcing us football nuts to stay tuned through the commercials to see the 'meat'. But now they want to eliminate the commercial breaks surrounding the XP? Not a rocket surgeon to be found anywhere near this league. Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna complain if they eliminate every break which does not concur with the natural flow of the game.

nucci Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 They need to use the college replay system. Going to a 2 minute commercial break for a play that takes seconds to call is the big part of the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
