Thursday through Monday, standalone Thursday night football game, Chiefs Ravens, Friday night international game, Eagles, Packers, and then the games all day Sunday, into Monday night football, 123 million people. The highest week one total audience since 2019, now I imagine that's buoyed a little bit by having an extra standalone game on Friday, but still it's still they're doing fun. You got to go back five years to find the last time they had that many people and that many eyeballs on them in the first week of the season. You go to the next line here, 21 million people TV and digital. That's average viewers per NFL game, 21 million at a time. On average, watching NFL games up 12% from last year, the most watched week one on record 21 million per game. This is what printing money sounds like by the way, network performances, NBC's kickoff game and week one, Sunday night football game. So that would have been the Ravens, Chiefs with the Sunday night game between the lions and the Rams, 25 million people up 3% from last year, the highest two game kickoff weekend average since 2015 nine years ago, Sunday afternoon. This is just your, you know, one o'clock, regular old ones CBS and Fox windows, highest week one Sunday afternoon viewership since 2016, eight years ago, up 21% from last year. How about an average of 18.4 million people tuning in to Sunday afternoon football contests? They can do whatever they want. And here's the last one I'll give you Monday night football on ABC ESPN plus ESPN two. Now, this is with many people in America, millions, I'd imagine boxed out by the dispute between Disney and direct TV. You know about this? I do. Yeah. I'm a direct TV consumer. I'm also luckily a YouTube TV consumer. I have both right now, the double dip for September while I'm waiting for the net season to end. And then the second it does, she go direct TVs out until next April at the earliest. If it's back, I hope all off season that the net's find a way that I don't need it again would be nice if they did that would be great one time Monday night football, ABC ESPN plus ESPN two second most watched Monday night football week one game since 2000. What is that God? Is that an Aaron Rogers effect? I don't understand that. You've got to go back to 24 years ago. There's only been a one game. More people tuned in for on Monday night football, 20 point four million and astounding week one performance in a national football league. So those numbers just kind of, you know, it starts, it starts to become rainfall at certain points where they just sound astronomical and you don't even know if it's good bad and different. Just trust us that it's good. But here's what's amazing to me. At a time where fewer and fewer and fewer people are watching anything else on television, those numbers going up is that much more remarkable. In other words, on an average night, now there's no such thing for us and our been football watching households, but for the rest of America, for the people that aren't necessarily tuning in our part of the rhythms of it, and on your average Wednesday, fewer people than ever per capita are going, I'm going to watch the programming offered by ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, whatever. I've got other options used to be cable was the other option than AMC. The, you know, HBO's of the world will sort of enter their hats into the ring with the prestige television shows beyond TBS tonight. Yeah. So you, they're all just kind of, you know, trying to crawl or claw their piece of the pie away. Enter the streaming apps, which changed everything. Oh, have you watched the new Yellowstone? Well, have you watched the offshoot show by the guy Taylor Sheridan? Who does this? Well, are you watching the barrel? And Hulu, are you watching the 97 trillion things that come out on Netflix every hour? What about the new prime prestige show? There's a billion to one options, fewer people than ever are just going, what's on channel four? What's on channel seven? Like nobody does that anymore, pretty much. And for the NFL to go, that's nice into the headwind that everyone else is getting blown back a thousand yards. They're planting their flag further than it's ever been. It's unreal. They are a juggernaut who can't be stopped and we keep thinking you and I, but also just the collective royal, we, everybody, whether it's head trauma or it's some type of, you know, the controversies with players off the field occasionally or owners, that there's just going to be a moment where there's a bit of a reckoning and maybe that the role is slowed and it just doesn't seem like it. It seems like it's a ball, a ball rolling downhill. And this ball just picks up more and more and more snow and eventually it's an avalanche now. And it's not just a hill in your neighborhood either. That's, that's Mount Everest. It's rolling down. I don't know how, I don't know how it would slow down. There is still this belief. I saw who was it that's, it was Mark Cuban 10 years ago in 2014 said the NFL is too greedy. They're trying to do too many things internationally or dig games on different days of the week. More of a good thing is always going to water it down. And his point was they're too greedy. It's going to be the pig that gets too fat, gets slaughtered. Totally. In 10 years from now, it's going to be in trouble. That was 10 years ago. And I saw that quote come back today. Now, someone might be saying the same thing today and we'll have to fast forward to 2034 and look back, but it's all worked. I mean, everything they're doing seems to be getting them going even more and more in the right direction, financially, at least. I don't know if the sport is better if the games are better, if the quality of play is better. The business is certainly booming. There's no doubt about that.
