    The NFL could do some form of a 12, 3:30, 7:30 type of schedule similar to watch CFB does on Saturdays, but NBC has that exclusive rights window in the evening and they usually want to be out by 11:30 for local news. I guess you could give them an NBC game and a Peacock game.

    But again, how much money are they making on the Sunday Ticket? That deal with YouTube TV is $2 BILLION a year (!!)

    Don’t mind the Jets trading for Haason Reddick at all.

    Baasically the Jets acquired Reddick for Bryce Huff and a conditional 2026 3rd rounder.

    The stadium in Buffalo was one of the last equalitarian stadiums built. What I mean by that is it was constructed primarily to handle larger crowds. Seats were largely assigned by seniority number so the people with the best seats in Buffalo (or for that matter Kansas City) were those who went to the box office early the first morning tickets went on sale when the teams started in business. As a result you had house painters with seats on the 45. When Buffalo, Kansas City and other cities built larger stadiums the ticket holders with seniority just moved over the the best seats. When a new stadium is constructed now it generally does not have a larger capacity than the facility it replaces. Now stadiums are constructed to provide better seats to the affluent by providing more luxury boxes and other premium seating. The blue collar family that had loyally bought tickets since day one of the franchise is then pushed out of the prime areas into an end zone or unable to buy tickets at all.
