vmax Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 ESPN and the NFL are closing in on a new deal that would extend the network's rights to "Monday Night Football" beyond 2020 and pay the league nearly $2 billion per season, according to Sports Business Daily.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5995093 That's sick for a game I hardly watch. Watch it bankrupt them.
cravnravn Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Ya think I could write a check? Thats insane.
JPPT1974 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 They should be giving it to Sunday Night Football. That is where the big games are at! It is dumb to give it to MNF on ESPN. So awful there, that I can't watch it myself even.
papasmurfbell Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 They should give them the ability to get flex games. The ratings are very high for all games this season. If that trend continues this isn't a bad deal. There is noway that 2bil will bankrupt Disney.
dc. Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 There also has to be some projection in there about increasing revenues - mainly increasing advertising revenues. Plus all the money they get from having the exclusive pre and post game set-up.
