Can't over expose your product. Part of the appeal of football is the one game a week. 


NFL is huge because of gambling and fantasy. Just having games on Sunday helps with fantasy for sure

How many of yal played football? I played from 8 yrs old through HS and can count on one hand the number of guys I know who got concussions. I can think of once or twice of having my bell rung but thats about it.


This x100

Parents worried about their 12 year old getting concussions are ridiculous. Concussions don't start to happen until about the high school level. Middle school kids aren't near big enough or hit hard enough to generate concussions. Hopefully by the time a kid gets to high school, they will be smart enough to be able to make their own decision

There could well be something to the notion that the Saturday night games are gonna oversaturate the market.


Where is all this talk about Saturday games coming from? The NFL has been playing late season Saturday games for years while college is in a dead period. As far as I can tell, they aren't eminently planning an expansion of Saturday games.

There has been talk about expanding the number of playoff teams and extending playoff weekends from Friday to Monday.

That's a period where you are over-saturated with football as it is.

Cuban is not crazy & is certainly not an idiot. I heard him talk several times, most recently on CNN the other nite, and he has visions & ideas that are light yrs ahead of the vast majority of us. He does have an agenda as an owner of a NBA team, but that does not make him wrong. Consider just how impractical, from a fan's perspective, the idea is of basing a NFL team in London. I'd take his ideas on business trends any day of the wk.
