Dislocated toe. So disaster averted (I think? I don't know how long a dislocated toe keeps you out).

The ESPN/NFL deal will result in the NFL owning 10% of ESPN.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

It's not perfect but they do have actual nuanced discussion and analytical minds on to talk about things in the NFL world. Unfortunately they do mix in some of that brain dead toxic arguing as well but for their NFL coverage at least it's not completely that.

With that said I think ESPN basically only makes money on televising actual sporting events, I don't believe any show just talking sports makes money(for ESPN or any other network)

The gulf between something like NFL live and whatever the equivalent is for the NBA is crazy. I think football is much more high level to understand than the other sports, but it seems like ESPN thinks the average fan is too dumb to care about that type of discussion instead of drama talk for any sport that's not the NFL.

I agree with it taking a higher level of understanding for the NFL versus NBA but to be honest I kinda get it

Its generally much more interesting to learn and talk about the nuances of an NFL game or matchup then it is with the NBA so with their NBA coverage they simply appeal to the lowest common demoninator
