      In 2017 the NFL alone accounted for 71 of the year's 100 most-watched telecasts.
      In 2007 that figure was 22 of 100.

      The numbers are from Nielsen.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        I would like to see how they glean this information. The billboard top 40 was paid for by record companies for 50 years. The rankings were shit and I’m starting to think TV ratings are the same game.

          Nielsen has problems, but its not paying for ratings that causes it. Record companies wanted to manipulate sales of records through airplay and a sense of inevitability. Radio stations wants listeners to sell advertisers to. If Arbitron was collecting payola, then there might be a Nielsen parallel. But the payola was mainly between the record company and program managers/media companies. Payola probably complicated finding listeners.

          Nielsen's problems have to do with the old journal they asked families to keep. A problem of self selection; who wants to keep a journal of TV habits? The electronic box they first used could not tell if anyone was actually watching the channel that was playing.

          Their most recent problem was a blessing in disguise: digital consumption frustrated them for years as they were just measuring live eyeballs and those numbers were shrinking. But when they got their hands on the digital data (Live +3 days of DVR and Live plus 7 days, plus buying the program on streaming services, plus network numbers on their own streaming websites) they actually had better data than ever before.

              I understand that C-Ben was a bust for da Bears (the Great Arm of Butte was sitting there with his phone). However, Benson was a stud for the Pack, albeit briefly. Watch the films, and the O was pretty effective at running the fake handoffs pistol force stuff (playactions) with C-Ben.

                Do they make the results of their findings public? Would the NFL have anything to gain by monetarily inflating those numbers?

                  You can subscribe I believe. And by you I mean a large firm because I bet its not cheap.

                  But the full rundown on numbers is not released publicly for free. You often see the Top 10 or Top 25 with the headline stats (rating and share). However, advertisers are part of the membership, if the numbers skew toward one outlet, it would be a big hit to the sale of the information. There are competitors, though they are smaller.

                  So of course the NFL, but especially the networks, would love to inflate their numbers. But they are only one side of the paying equation I believe.

                  Its probably ripe for stupidity, I just haven't seen it reported anywhere that its ripe for abuse. Most of the complaints are about their methodology.

                    In other NFC North news, new Leos coach Patricia is working players pretty hard in practice and playing starters in the fourth quarter of meaningless exhibition games.



                    The Detroit Lions looked heavy-legged in Friday's loss to the Giants, it might be time for Matt Patricia to pull back on practice


                    So if the Lions come out the gate gangbusters, all our complaining about WhineyMikey being too easy in t.c. will be born out.

                      • Why Your Team Sucks: Detroit Lions

                        Every year, this team finds a way and interesting way to get fucked by a quirk in the NFL rulebook. It’s almost like they have a fetish for it. They’re definitely losing at least four games because of the Helmet Rule. In December, they’ll all don gimp masks and conspire to lose at the very last second on Sideline Warning penalty.

                        • Janis just lit up the fourth string Eagles defense (one reception, one drop, one PI drawn). Shades of Michael Irvin! And Troy and Buck got a fourth and 26 shot in just as time was expiring. F U guys.

                          • Janice can’t even make it to Hard Knocks. Bill Schroeder actually laughs at how bad Janice is at running routes.

                              • OK, so I am not suggesting you watch the Bills Bengals on FOX for entertainment, but John Ross just left two Bills defenders lockless after a double move on an under thrown ball by Dalton.

                                KYP, is this guy legit? He looked like Barry Sanders with that change of direction.
