By, by average Joe fan!

Get ready. Any bets in a few years the average Joe NFL fans aren't going to be able to watch their local teams, unless it's pay for view!  Sounds like their greasing the wheels now.  There are 5 international games this year!

"The NFL will play a regular season game in Madrid, Spain in 2025, as the NFL prioritizes global growth and expands the International Games to new cities and markets around the world."

New frontiers.  Expand the market; make more money.  Despite some PR moments, they’re not in it for charity.

 

BUT, they might want to take a moment and see how that worked out for NASCAR.  Not that having to buy premium channels to watch races was the only problem but it sure helped kill the fever for a lot of people.

Just sayen, not all the loyal old fans, can pay for the NFL viewing package!

Another prediction.

 

Under the cloud of "Woke Inclusion"
Just like the Mn state flag and the Mn Twins, the Vikings name will be going away in a few years! Their already making them look like Snow flakes!  We can't have the uniforms of angry Norwegian people!  Sounds funny but. Wait for it!

It would cost you 830 bucks to watch every game this NFL season under multiple platforms.

 

I don't have peacock or espn+ or whatever they want me to have, so I'll just have to relent on being able to watch a few games.  I refuse to cave in to their demands just to watch the Packers play the Eagles in Brazil.  I think last year peacock had the exclusive rights to the Miami/KC playoff game too.  I'm sure that will occur again in January.

Not sure how they did the wood back then, but now they have plastic I'm sure you could bend into a circle if yea needed.

That antenna reminds me of my childhood. My father would have me go up on the roof and yell at me out the window to turn it certain directions for better TV clarity

Ours came down to the ground on the outside of the house so we could just walk up to it for turning, and get yelled at safely.

Yep times are a changing.

We used to bow hunt out a little shack along the snake river out of Pinecity.  

The Vikings game came in a bit better on the black and white when we boosted my buddy up the tree, so he could hammer the rabbit ears up there. We could at least now see which team had the ball on the fuzzy screen!

had several antenna's that way and still have a UHF one here!!!
