| Gee, I wonder how this came about? The meat of the article: [AwfulAnnouncing] Saturday afternoon’s Falcons-Eagles game on NBC drew a 17.4 overnight rating, down 5 percent from last year and 12 percent from 2016. It was the lowest for the early Saturday time slot since 2009. The Patriots-Titans matchup Saturday night on CBS was the lowest-rated game of the weekend, with a 16.6 overnight. That was down 9 percent from last year and 18 percent from 2016 and was also the worst performance in that window since 2009. The Jaguars-Steelers contest in the early window Sunday on CBS pulled a 20.4 overnight, down 12 percent from 2016. (Last year’s game in that slot was moved to primetime due to weather.) That was the lowest mark in its window since 2002. Finally, the Vikings-Saints duel Sunday afternoon on Fox drew the best overnight rating of the weekend (21.8) but was still down 23 percent from last year and 17 percent from 2016. |

| #6 This is the year the NFL lost me. I didnt leave the NFL, it left me. Coddling kneelers, feminist bullshit touts, the bogus "pink" month for Komen (far better funds for cancer fights), and general kwotowing to SJWs, preaching Progressivism instead of actually delivering football to those who want to see it. College ball from now on. |

| #5 I've got a Windows !0 PC (spit) and I get their PMS news. They are desperately touting the NFL. They wont mention the declining viewership/attendance or show the number of empty seats. "Oh look! a squirrel! and it is getting kicked in the nuts!" |

| #4 Boring... What we need is more "expert commentary" and more Time Outs: for commercial breaks and official replay. \s The thuggish player behavior and childish sideline protest theater is just the final insult. |

| #2 First year of playoffs that I am sitting out. The league, Goodell and the liberals sucked all the fun out of it. Now I just don't give a shit. Most likely won't watch any games next year either. |

| #1 I didn't see them play the national anthem for the ones I watched. Next year they need to have everyone be respectful. |
