The game is safer a little bit more every year and players are playing longer and longer. 15 years ago Josh Allen would have maybe 2-3 more seasons left. Jerseys and tickets are expensive, but watching from your couch is cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I question whether that is Roger himself but rather the owners and NFL committee who have moved the league and it’s coverage in that direction.

BillsVet Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 14 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: That was Bert Bell. Rozelle expanded the league. Bell had a deal with a now defunct TV network to share revenue among owners from 1 game a week. Not a big challenge because the game in the 50s was largely driven by stadium attendance. Teams also negotiated their own TV deals locally which wasn't shared. Rozelle came in and not only expanded the league, he took the increased revenues from gate and television deals and shared that among the NFL owners. And much of that required getting more games on television across multiple networks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he has made any efforts not to see it succeed, just saying this country is so football crazy he could and it would make little difference, people would still watch it.

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 He has improved from being an absolute joke of a commish to a decent one.

My point was the the concept of sharing revenue already existed and to some degree had been agreed to before Rozelle. 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: Not saying he has made any efforts not to see it succeed, just saying this country is so football crazy he could and it would make little difference, people would still watch it. This country used to be baseball crazy. A succession of Commissioners have watched it become almost irrelevant as the NHL. Why is that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
