Well so is the NBA, lol especially his team. The only sport on the rise right now is baseball.

Soccer.  Real Salt Lake paid a $10 million expansion fee a decade ago, it’s $150 now and growing for MLS.  More 5-19 year olds play soccer than any other activity now, including Boy/Girl Scouts.

A declining NFL is still more popular than the NBA and I doubt that ever changes.

NBA has the same issue that baseball has they play so many games in the regular season, that no one except for diehard fans pay attention to it. Most people tune in to the MLB and NBA once their post season starts, as opposed to the NFL where each regular season game is far more significant.

Also when you factor in the parity that each NFL season brings you don't get that level of hope across fan bases league wide in the NBA like you do in the NFL where it's any given Sunday or  any given season whereas in the NBA the top 10 players seem to be clustered on 3 or 4 teams and everybody else is just also-ran.

NBA's popularity in the US is about the same as it was, although the tv ratings are suffering the same decline as virtually everything else.  But internationally, basketball is far more popular, and the NBA profits from that popularity.  I went to the Philippines several years ago, and Kobe Bryant was probably the most popular athlete in the country, next to Manny Pacquiao.  And Europe is similar, Lebron and Kobe are very popular, while Tom Brady could probably walk the streets of Paris without getting a second look.  

 

But I am glad Cuban doesn't want to buy us.

Football has always been America's sport. Rodger Goodell was dragging it down by expanding it to other nights and making international games. That man and most of the owners are so out of touch with there base they thought they could manipulate and force liberal agendas on a blue collar class that just voted in a wildcard president. The biggest astonishment is they have doubled down and have adopted a even more far left agenda. We are definitely in crazy times.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
