Where does ESPN get their attendance information?

No way.  Even including PSL owners there's no way 95% of tickets were sold yesterday.  That's what the Panthers reported to the League and where ESPN gets their information.

PSLs, then they put up the single game tickets and they pre-sell those. That’s how it was designed to operate.  It’s why the games are never “blacked-out” locally.

Per NFL policy, a game cannot be televised locally if 85% of tickets are not sold.

They sold 95%. It’s just no one showed up.

Still something very fishy there and I'm not on a boat in the ocean.  I think someone hit the nail on the head with "distributed" tickets, i.e. charity.  They can donate 5,000 tickets to a corporate sponsor or charity and not sit on those tickets.  I think they are on the hook for any tickets on hand. 

I bet PSL holder rate is nowhere near 100% and the single game seats sold probably were a blip.  Again, fuzzy math.

There were not .45 cents tickets.  As with most things on social media, that was made up.  

They were extraordinarily cheap, but not 45 cents.

That .50 per ticket went viral. It even hooked a couple small time writers and I had a couple friends text it to me. Shows how fast fake info can spread if people want to believe something.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
