As usual, the answer is to "just say no". Find something else to do with your time that provides more satisfaction and less ********.
Personally, as the enshittification of the NFL has gone up, my interest level has gone down.
The games on TV are so filled with ads that even using a TiVo that can skip over commercial breaks and in-game ad reads is unsatisfactory. So much ********, so little entertainment. So many ****ty teams, including ours. Just not worth my time!
And the announcers suck. All the blah-blah-blah just isn't adding value. Romo used to be interesting when he would tip off the play calls based on pre-snap read but clearly he was told to stop doing that since he was showing up the other talking heads. Collingsworth really sucks, cant stand listening to him. Don't like Brady either, too wooden, too much jock-speak.
These days, at best I look at the 20 minute post-game edited cut-downs on the NFL channel on u2b. Just the plays that are worth seeing, nothing else. This works for me but sooner or later NFL will stop doing this because it undermines their "broadcast partners".
Compare and contrast what NFL has on offer compared to Formula 1 racing's F1TV product. I paid $80 for the 2024 season and got 24 race weekends with zero ads. This includes the actual race along with the qualifying runs so a full weekend of action if you are into it. Lots of pre-race and post-race content too.
I know NFL's numbers look great but to hell with them, their product sucks.
