On Tuesday, the English Premier League announced that Sky Sports and BT Sport would retain the league’s domestic television rights at a staggering cost: About $7.9 billion over three years starting in the 2016-17 season, a 70 percent increase over what they’re currently paying. And when international rights are factored in, the league is expected take in about $13 billion over the course of the deal, or around $4.3 billion per year.

Obviously the rest of Europe is worried, very worried.

When was the last time they won it before last year?

 

 

To be fair, for years it was only the Big Four in the BPL before the UAE guys purchased City. And of that "Big Four," Liverpool has yet to win an EPL title and Arsenal hasn't won it since 2003-04.

 

Since the BPL was created in 1992, only five teams have won it, and Blackburn ('95) isn't even in the league anymore while City only started winning in 2011-12.

 

As an Arsenal fan it seems like Arsenal develops the talent to win but ends up selling it off in its prime (Henry, RVP, Fabregas, Nasri, Clichy, etc.) I don't follow the team well enough to be a regular in here but I feel like the goal is just to make the top four and any trophies are just gravy. Spurs is the same way (Bale) but they can't ever break into that top four. I mean, is there really an expectation for Kane to be with Spurs for life?

 

No doubt the BPL is the best league in the world with its success over here really unprecedented and leading domestic U.S. league's to at least consider attempting to garner the same success in Europe. No other league can come close to claiming that success, but competitively the BPL lacks parity just like those other European leagues.

I do not necessarily think that BPL is the best league in the world based on quality, I think the three to leagues are all really close, but they certainly are the most popular.

To be fair though, they have a huge advantage stateside and that is the language. This has helped them get better TV deals over here and in turn their popularity grew much faster.

I am excited about the FOX deal for the Bundesliga that starts next season. Would love to see their presence grow over here the way BPL had. Of course as a Bayern fan a lot over here will view me the way I always viewed Man U fans.

I'm an Arsenal fan and u r lil wrong there bud. Arsenal used to develop talent and sell it for big bucks to finish paying for almost a billion dollar stadium they built in 2006. In the last 2 years Arsenal spent close to £170m on bring new players in. Arsenal made paying off stadium #1 priority because of 10% interest rate on a loan. Because stadium is completely paid off, Arsenal has close to £120m in annual transfer fees. If not for the injuries, Arsenal could of easily be #1 or #2 in the BPL. Arsenal is a striker away from being a very dominant team.

BPL is the most watched league in US. It means BPL will get mad money from TV deals. Mad money from TV deals means more money for teams to spend on top class players.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By CRA · Posted

      99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.

      Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
