Will You Be Able to Watch Football in 2011?

Posted on by

The 2011 NFL football season is in a very dark place right now, so dark in fact that you might not be able to see it.  Yes, you may not get to watch football in 2011.  The NFL and its players are in court (and mediation) trying to work out a new collective bargaining agreement since the old one expired but both sides have demands that the other side is not willing to meet.  NFL fans worldwide are watching this drama play out not on the football field but in the court room and most recently in the mediation room.  The sides have attempted to mediate their differences for months now but they are having problems.  Having to watch this must be hurting football fans who right now are doubting whether or not there will even be a NFL season in 2011.

There are quite a few big sticking points that I’m watching to see who will give some way.  There is splitting revenue, the owners want more and the players don’t want to give more.  There is also the topic of extending the season to be 18 games instead of 16 games.  While all NFL fans would love to watch more football in a year, the players aren’t too happy about having to suit up for an additional two games per year.  They feel that their bodies already take enough punishment in a 16 game season that they don’t want any more games.  But if they are concerned about receiving more money then they should consider suiting up to play more games.  The more games that are played, the more people watch football, the more advertising dollars and dollars made at the stadium for tickets, hot dogs, and beer.

The mediation is stepping it up a notch, we even have Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joining the mediation talks.  Jerry knows money and I’m sure he senses that not having the 2011 NFL season is not in anyone’s best interest.  There are also players, mediators, and other representatives at the mediation talks.  It seems like there may be too many people with too many opinions and desires in one room.  Both sides should assign one person to deal on their behalf and this would help speed up the process.

What we need to watch in the upcoming weeks is which side will make some concessions.  Will we watch the owners give way a little or will the players concede a little.  Whoever gives up a little first may gain the respect of the other side and it may start a snowball effect where the talks will become productive instead of at a standstill and maybe just maybe we can all watch some football this year.

Superbowl Ended with over 90 Million People Watching this Football Game

Posted on by

The superbowl of the pittsburgh steelers and the green bay packers ended and over 90 million people watched this game in the United States.  That is an amazing number of people which was driven by the popularity of the two teams.  Nielsen Ratings calculates how many people watched the superbowl.  If you factor in how many people watched the game outside the US plus how many people watched the game online at p2p4u football sites,  I would guess that the total number of viewers is close to 300 million.  It is surprising that the ad spots for the superbowl did not increase dramatically or at least that the cost is not somewhat variable so that if there is a blowout audience then the cost could go up.

There were 10 football sites which were taken down online, seized by the US government ICE department which had previously posted links to football matches online.  This seizure was done a week before the superbowl and most people are guessing this was done on purpose.  A lot of these sites are back online now, just not using the .com or .net extensions and sticking to the .me, .tv, .eu, and .es extensions.  The reason for this is so that the US government cannot confiscate their domain names since those registries are run out of other countries, while the .com and .net extensions are run out of the US.

The Superbowl started out looking like a blowout when the packers jumped out to a 21-3 lead over the Steelers.  The Steelers managed a touchdown right before the end of the first half to draw within 11 points.  The second half went back and forth but the Packers never gave up the lead at all.  With about one minute and fifty seconds the Steelers got the ball back down by 6.  They could have had the opportunity to win the game with a touchdown drive.  But this drive had to start at their own 13 yard line after a 15 yard unecessary roughness penalty on the punt play.  This penalty has to be one of the dumbest penalties I’ve ever seen, given the situation… after all it is the Superbowl, you have 300 million people watching you, this is going to be the last drive of the game to win the game, and you decide to throw an elbow on the punt play and cost your team 15 yards.  If I was mike tomlin i would have kicked that player off the team and made him walk home that night.
