Reply to comment by SuperQuinntendo in Apple reportedly backs out of NFL Sunday Ticket negotiations by who-hash
I’ll take anyone that can make the service reliable and at a decent price point.
I was hoping for Apple only because they would try to force the lower price.
I’m cutting the cord (again) this year once our township offers fiber and this will be my legit way to watch the games.

Yes I'm perfectly fine with that. Teams aren't trying to pull one on fans. They're doing this so players stay healthy going into the post season. I'd rather see these stars in the playoffs than a pointless late season game. It's better for the game for these guys to stay healthy.
Every NFL team that has a playoff spot locked does this, but nobody bats an eye. Overplaying players shortens careers. No one with a conscience should be advocating for that.

I agree. Normally they don't swing much but over the years I've noticed a bunch of games that swing in 1 teams favor with the refs. Like the Superbowl last year for the Rams. No live ball fouls until 60ish seconds left in the game then the rams get 4 on 3rd or 4th down to extend the drive? Coincidence I'm sure.... I have some more Vikings examples but I'm biased and could definitely be exaggerating in my head. I don't think the NFL sways every game but it's pretty clear they occasionally do.

This game was pure fucking garbage! Not December garbage, I’m talking August 90% humidity 100 degrees in the shade fucking rotting piles of shit.

I do think nfl refs are FAR more competent than nba and mlb in terms of usually not affecting the game as much. Yeah there are occasional bad holding calls or PI that should or should not have been called, but this was the first game in recent memory where it honestly seemed like a fix was in.
And for what it’s worth, I’m a giants fan, I had no stake in this game whatsoever.

Hope the media makes sure to bring this up every year like they do with Philly

I could not believe what I was watching. At one point the Colts intercept Cousins so my dad and I start to talk about the playoff implications for our teams once this game is over, and by the time we started paying attention to the game again the Vikings were in the redzone on the 10.

I see people blaming the head coach, is this not on the defensive coordinator? What happened

Don't even really follow the NFL. I'm just excited for the Secret Base video on this moment in history.

OK - do you also think it’s outrageous that players collect salaries for games they sit out when perfectly able to play? Cause the commissioner has to balance the fact that players and teams don’t want to make less revenue too.

Teams are resting perfectly healthy players because it better fits their playoff aspirations. Which sounds fine until you consider that fans are being bent over backwards for tickets, parking, food, etc to attend games.
Sports are entertainment first and foremost and the NBA should take these actions and more to make sure fans see the best possible product.
To me, it’s ridiculous that guys getting paid millions and millions can’t give all they have for the fans who pay their wages by paying for tickets and tuning into games on TV. They’re ridiculously fortunate and they should be held to that standard.
