The season opens in Philadelphia with the Eagles hosting in the Cowboys.

Chargers are opening their season in Brazil, reportedly against the Chiefs. It's expected to be free globally on Youtube on that Friday night.

The NFL is somewhat saturated in the US already, I mean short of a game on every day of the week which almost seems inevitable at this point.

The NFL is branching out internationally to sell more merch and TV rights.

Travel and Scheduling Nightmares.

Why don't they just open up thier Own Football league in whatever Country they choose and leave US football to the US.

They have a Game coming up in Australia I heard somewhere, may or may not be this year, starting time would be 6am EST ...

Now how many NFL fans will they draw watching that game here ?

If MY team was playing at 6 am I highly doubt I'd be up then to watch ...
Btw, is that game 6 am on Saturday or Sunday or is it Monday ????

Edit:
Sydney Australia is 10 hours Ahead of us in the US EST. (according to Alexa)

MONEY!

They want more of it. The NFL have gotten about all they can out of the US. So they are looking outside the US.

Why are you taking this personally?

Welcome to my world as a fan of Cricket, Soccer, Motorsports.

The NFL wants fans in Australia. They want Aussie sports networks to pay dearly for the NFL. This is how you grow a brand globally. This isn't about you. They already have the American broadcast money.

Fwiw, I am not taking ANY of this Personally, not sure why you would think that.

Btw, what happens when a company gets Too Big ?
It Splits ...

Personally, the NFL could get a LOT better in the States (wouldn't make more money though), theres plenty of people playing in the NFL trhat are not very good ...

How many teams do we have each year that don't even win half thier games ?

As opposed to 1976 when all of the teams were undefeated, had 2x 1,000 yard rushers each, and every team's defense had 10 sacks a game while the offense gave up no sacks a game?

How many teams do we have each year that don't even win half thier games ?

*BSOD*

The global YT week 1 game is confirmed, just not who the Chargers' opponent will be (many suspect it'll be the Chiefs)

YouTube will stream an opening week NFL game for free

YouTube is broadcasting the game.

I think I'm going to create an online service that tracks where the heck games are going to be available. They are fragmenting the coverage so badly here. I know it is great for the bottom line right now, but how much will CBS and Fox be willing to pay for rights when the NFL is eliminating scarcity of coverage?

FINALLY .....

After 2+ Months
Aaron DRAMA Rodgers has decided to grace the Pittsburgh Steelers with his presence ... Maybe.
I believe he still hasn't signed, but has made known that he will ... before Camp opens next week.

Personally, you would think that the sooner your in, the quicker you can get comfortable with your New Teammates particularly on how the run routes for the Wide Recvrs.
As well as Learn someone elses Playbook ... A playbook is similar to learning a new language I'm told.

As a Long time Steelers Fan, I accept that Rodgers is better than what they have had recently, but the Drama that comes with him is ridiculous ....
He is the Poster Boy for the Me Me guy, Oh Look " Its "All About ME"

This is Very Unlike the Steelers ...

Thankfully its only for a Year.

Aaron Rodgers signing one-year deal with Steelers ahead of minicamp

The problem with that approach is that it doesn't take into consideration the value column-inches of speculation and keeping your man or team at the top of everyone's hour.

Welcome Mr. Rogers:

 

[Jimbo]

Being a Steelers fan ...
I have already had ENOUGH of the Aaron Rodgers DRAMA ... OMG

It started in April, Oh, I'm Too Good to Sign when everyone else does ... all thru the Spring and Summer, he finally signed ...

Will they be better, slightly, not by a Major amount.

Now, once he signed they showed him signing (why ??? who knows, maybe for PROOF)

Well, someone noticed a Wedding Ring ...

Today (or yesterday) he revealed Yes, he got Married a few Months ago ...

More Me Me Me from him .... He won't say Who he's married to ...
Thats the Next drip of the Rodgers DRAMA ....


I knew this type of thing was going to happen, I've never seen the Steelers Stoop this low for a player ...

 

[Yespage]

Problem is, they typically win 8-10 games a year which will never get them high enough to take a Top QB.

They could be like Buffalo and be bad for a decade. You want that instead? Brady dominated Buffalo, but part of that was because they sucked for so long during his career.

 

[Foxbat]

I'm wondering when this thread becomes the 2025-2026 NFL Season Sticky thread. We're practically in the pre-season games…

More Me Me Me from him

It is all about the column-inches and the podcast airtime.

Your missing the point ....

Its all about HIM , HIM, HIM

Nothing to do with a columnist trying to put words on paper or in a computer or podcast ...

With Aaron you don't have to worry about that.

 

[harshness]

Your missing the point ....

The point is keeping your brand front and center.

Perhaps nobody is beating down his door to do game calling and he doesn't want to be the next Tony Romo in his NFL afterlife.
