I admire you for continuing to dig your heels in on this argument.

NFL diehards are euphoric about the fact that they have less than .00000000001% of the Off Season to actually gloat about its level of "importance" and "relevance"

Moving forward, What is your goal in this thread? Not attempting to be mean spirited, just asking a question

This has got me thinking, what was the genesis of this thread/argument? Was it when Bernstein & Goff spent multiple segments discussing an NBA eigth-Final matchup and people were taking the piss out of them for it, so LTG got all butthurt and tried to argue that NBA playoff interest dwarfs that of NFL off-season interest?

long time douche was incredulous that the trade of a top WR in football (at the time) garnered discussion on local radio airwaves. If people actually cared about the NBA, it wouldn't have happened.

It will be fun when the NFL Combine gets higher Tv ratings than whatever NBA trash happens to be televised on those days.

ESPN opted to air special editions of NFL Live from the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis during its standard two-hour opinion block on Thursday and Friday, and move High Noon, Highly Questionable, Around the Horn, and Pardon the Interruption to ESPN2. In a vacuum where the goal would be to maximize ratings for ESPN's flagship network in that window, it is hard to frame this decision as anything other than highly unsuccessful. However, it is possible to consider other factors in Disney's relationship with the NFL and perhaps conclude that the potential ends justify the means.

On Thursday from 4-6pm ET, NFL Live averaged 241,000 viewers and on Friday it averaged 251,000 viewers. Here is what the opinion shows averaged on the previous three Thursdays and three Fridays in February (full data at bottom of page):

Slight Dip in NFL Combine Audience
Coverage of the NFL Combine averaged a 0.17 rating and 267,000 viewers on NFL Network, down 3% in viewership from last year (276K) but up 19% from 2016 (225K). Last Saturday’s window, which included the quarterback, wide receiver and tight end workouts, was the top draw with a 0.24 (-8%) and 389,000 (-4%)

This year's Super Bowl was watched by an average of 123.4 million people in the US, making it the most watched broadcast since the 1969 Moon landing.

Preliminary US TV ratings put Sunday's game just behind Apollo 11's historic landing, which was seen by an estimated 125 to 150 million people.

Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime on Sunday in Las Vegas, NV.

. At this point more people would watch Mahomes watch paint dry than they would watch the NBA playoffs, and that's totally fine. Just accept it. It doesn't mean basketball sucks.

NBA Draft averaged 3.74 million viewers

Thursday’s opening round of the NFL Draft averaged a combined 11.29 million viewers

Yep

I have no idea what you are saying here.

Because if they did, then the NFL Combine would never be televised on a station that draws fewer viewers than the IHSA Championship Basketball Game does.

Once again, the NFL combine not outdrawing live NBA games isn't the big win you think it is.

Yes it is if the topic pertains to "Off Season Football" And if Brick isn't "gaslighting" every issue then what exactly is that he actually does around here? Just Asking A QUESTION

So why is it a big win that actual live NBA games will draw a larger audience than people running in a straight line?

It's always been about interest in terms of discussing things outside the actual games.

I bet the Combine outdraws the NBA this weekend. Excited to see the numbers

You're very confident in your support of a losing argument over the years. I will give you that.
