The NFL reportedly asked Katy Perry, Rihanna and Coldplay, their top choices to play the 2015 Super Bowl Halftime Show, if they would be willing to pay the league in order to secure one of the biggest gigs in the world, according to The Wall Street Journal.
 
When reaching out to artists, league representatives asked some acts if they would exchange a headlining slot for a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour earnings, or make another type of financial contribution to the NFL. Sources told the Journal that the suggestion, perhaps unsurprisingly, "got a chilly reception from the candidates' representatives."
 
While the NFL doesn't typically pay artists who perform during the Super Bowl Halftime Show, they do tend to cover travel and production expenses, which can be upwards of a million dollars. Considering the Halftime Show has only grown more popular in recent years — this year's performance with Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers drew 115.3 million viewers, compared to the 112.2 million who watched the game — it makes sense they'd want a piece of the pie.
 

 

Criticize Goodell if you like but at least he is consistent!

How The National Football League Can Reach $25 Billion In Annual Revenues
 
This year revenues for the National Football League will be somewhere just north of $9 billion, which means the league remains the most lucrative in the world.
 
But NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, wants more. Much more.
 
He has stated that he wants to reach $25 billion in annual revenues for the league by the year 2027. It’s an incredibly ambitious goal, especially for a league that many in the media believe is in decline. (It’s not. See this story.) But it is also a very achievable one when considering what the league has in store for the future.

I know I speak for myself and a lot of Huddlers when I say we fuging love the nfl. I can't get enough of my Panthers. Even during the 2-14 season a few years back  I watched every game (hell I even bought tickets to two games that year - the only two we won 9ers and Cardinals lol) .

 

.....but the NFL is a perfect product that is about to start going downhill (and I think they know it)

 

The number one enemy for the NFL is player health. no one is going to want to play football when you find out it literally kills you, or gives you early onset dementia, or any other numerous horrible brain malfunctions

 

hence the "lets make as much money as we can now" attitude

 

the greed omg the greed. pushing the draft back two weeks, scheduling games in London, trying to extend the season, having a special thursday night game available on only one channel: THE NFL NETWORK, and now this.....

 

I know this in itself isn't a huge, but it's getting to the point of blatant, in your face- we're making money off everything associated NFL

 

 

I have never really cared what the Panther's midfield logo is, but now I do. I don't like the NFL that much anymore, but I love the Panthers. 

 

The NFL needs to realize that less is more, but unfortunately I think they know just how limited the shelf-life of this product is.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
