A Prediction For The Next 10 Years:

You will HAVE to have Direct TV and the sunday ticket to watch ANY NFL game, due to them sticking billions into the NFLs pocket. Personally, I don't think 10 years will be quick enough- they will do it within that

Why do you think that? The national networks don't get to do it for free....they have to pay hundreds of millions to the NFL also.

I hate all the thursday games, then you have the double header on monday night, then later with the saturaday games. its all about them pushing as many games as they can to get more advertising dollers.

I wish it would stay the same, all games on sunday afternoon, and the one monday night game.

the way its going, in 10 years there will be games 7 days a week.

I'm stull using an antennae, its 90 ft in the air and I get a ton of channels, when the NFL goes to cable or satellite only, I'm out. I also think that it is a real possiblility that all games could be eventually broadcast over the NFL network or NFL sunday ticket. Why? You ask, MONEY. As soon as the NFL determines that it can make more money as a kind of Pay/per View item, it will no longer be for sale to the big networks. It's big enough to carry its own stinking network, why wouldn't they eventually air all the games on it?

Direct TV pays BILLIONS upon BILLIONS, that's why. People have to pay to watch on there, so they will also bump their rates. Mark my words- it will happen.

So do the national networks.

It'll never be exclusively on a cable provider unless the networks stop paying the fee, which will never happen because it brings them loads of advertising money.

CBS - $622M

FOX - $712M

ABC - $550M

ESPN - $600M

DirecTV - $700M

Those are rights fees PER YEAR.

End of story.

As much as satellite TV and cable are progressing into more and more households, the NFL is such a huge market it will always remain on the big networks and regular TV to some extent. There is way too much money to be made in advertising and as far as the NFL network, why bother when the big networks are paying the fees mentioned above. If they move games strictly to the NFL network and strictly to satellite or cable, they'll never recoup the fee dollars they get now.

When you get the NFL Ticket you are watching the games on a CBS/NBC etc affiliate for that area. It's not a special group of broadcasters, its still the networks out there broadcasting. They just open the cannels up to you when you subscribe.

      Great news. They opened last Wednesday. Sounds like it’s about twice as big. Looking forward to checking it out soon.

      Last weekend I was monitoring a bay on Tonka whether people were still driving out. I saw 6-7 vehicles. In one spot there were 4 trucks with 3 wheel houses. One of the houses was 20 ft+. On Sunday I arrived to see the sheriff put up a thin ice sign that 6 vehicles had driven past.   I returned to fish it last Wednesday late afternoon with 4 vehicles already out. Drove to the spot I fished 2 other times in the last month and drilled the first hole. LiveScope showed the fish 30-50 feet away. Drilled a cluster of 5 holes in that spot and game on. It was almost as fast as you could put your line down. A lot of up bites. After it slowed down on the small jigging spoon, I switched to a 4mm tungsten jig and caught more. The fish shifted 10 feet away once where one of the other holes was and then went back to the initial hole. For crappie, I ended up with a 13, a couple 12s, couple 11s, three 10s and a handful of 9s. Also 4 bluegill either side of 8” plus several smaller of both species. All fish were released. The pictures I posted are the 13 with me, both 12s an 11 and a dink. I measured them on a Li’l Dipper which is accurate from the middle of the hole at the top of the handle. I am going to order a Ketch board. The rod for the tungsten jig is a Tickle Stick and for the spoon a Panfish Sweetheart.   All three times I’ve fish this spot the big fish move out about 60-90 minutes before dark. I suppose they are moving to a different area (weedline?) to feed. If I get out to this spot again this year I’ll try and figure out where. When I drove off the bay there were still 6 other vehicles out.

      Yup. Bullseye on the Ricochet . Bit o simple St Pats humor as that’s how I live n guess this flows thru my fingers.   Always interesting to see how close guesses are here.   where my island is clears out before the bay n large sections of lake so that is fun also. In past a few times last 28 years I hit it right on. Silly icy fun Big Smiles n Keep on Rocken! T

      8 degrees in Rochester this morning.    looking at the 10 day forecast for Cook, not much melting going on out to the end of next week.
