YEARS ago on the puddle I started a thread about how the NFL has strategically placed themselves to be talked about year round. In the offseason diff announcements are strategically placed in the off times. Every so often in the offseason something is up with the NFL to keep them front page.

Now, cuban is talking about games on TV too much....even though the NBA has games pretty much every night of the week. He complained about Thur night games along with SNF and MNF, and then Sat as well at times and think they are gonna implose in ten years.

While I am not sure how much bigger the NFL can get, I am not sure they are going to really implode. Their limited season length is set up to keep the fans always wanting more.

I can see fantasy football bringing in casual fans and even hardcore fans paying attention to players outside their team (or the big time stars). As for vegas, you have to have an interest in order for people to bet. Vegas didn't make horse racing popular. I love wrestling, however I know if vegas took over wrestling betting, it would not take wrestling to the level the NFL is. So, I can't give much credit to Vegas when it comes to the NFL's success.

lhslep134;1596790 wrote:That's because you chose to ignore the second part of Azu's post where he mentions fantasy, and that vegas and fantasy go hand in hand, not working to compete against each other.

You can't just sever his statement because you disagree that it's just vegas because his whole point was the combination of fantasy AND gambling contributed to the boom. And I can't disagree with that.

"A team official confirmed White would present Hoyt with two seasons tickets and two Super Bowl tickets.

Hoyt also will receive pregame sideline passes to any one game and will be a guest of White's at training camp, where he'll sit in the VIP section and talk to players after practice."
