Wow you nailed it jesuisvtguy!!! This is the relationship vs transactional

Model. Ironically I am a Red Sox fan and I always joke saying I pull for the Red Sox and whoever the Yankees are playing.🤣 Because the Yankees are almost always so good, it effects the Red Sox. Retail is very transactional and wholesale is very relationship oriented. The TV networks more than any are run by transactional people. They don’t get the relationship side of the business.? They don’t get that viewership will go up with more teams having a chance. They don’t get or at least act like having Arizona State doing well, long term brings in more fans. Great post, you nailed it!

I wonder if JD Vance was streaming the game on his phone at all of these

Vance made a joke about blowing off the inauguration

CFP was stupid to let it drag out into the NFL playoffs. Everything needs
reestuart • 01/23/25 10:49 AM ET
6 weeks and odd days and intervals is just stupid
Vienna_Hokie • 01/23/25 04:13 PM ET
Yep. NFL can finish with 14 teams in about 4 or so weeks. That includes

Drop the CCG’s, *add week 0 rivalry matchups, let Army Navy play weekend

Yeah, I think move the entire regular season up to week zero. Finish

2 problems and suggestions

My way of making your #1 happen in response to reestuart. I wish #2 was
Stech • 01/23/25 11:04 AM ET
the conference championship games are borderline useless now, IMO.
reestuart • 01/23/25 11:15 AM ET
They are, but they are $ makers for the Conference, but as previously
Stech • 01/23/25 11:25 AM ET
I'm good with anything that gets the CFP moving by the first weekend
reestuart • 01/23/25 11:38 AM ET
when did they start having Herbie as an announcer?
HokieAl • 01/23/25 09:55 AM ET
Had to look it up. It was 2006, with Dan Fouts in that seat before him.
Roanokie • 01/23/25 01:13 PM ET
For consideration, some data on the champ games
HokieAl • 01/23/25 10:54 AM ET
Herbie's problem is he talks way too much. I think he's OK as an analyst,
reestuart • 01/23/25 10:50 AM ET
Agree, it’s dominated with expansion by the P2, but some weren’t in those
Stech • 01/23/25 10:49 AM ET
I'm a sample size of 1, but I wasn't as interested...
jesuisvtguy • 01/24/25 12:30 AM ET
I think that's why there has been a push for gambling.
