Patriot Killa Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 53 minutes ago, NYJ1 said: My point is Geno sucked, was an @$$hhole, and was the complete opposite of anything resembling a team leader. Zach is shooting to be everything Geno was never. Agreed there. Appreciated him wanting to earn his role as a player, starter & teammate as soon as the draft ended. Working out with his fellow rookies, sticking around NY & getting accommodated to the lifestyle and fully embracing his new home. That’s a thoughtful employee who really puts premium value on making things work from a communication standpoint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the game in 75 or 76, when JP Parise scored in OT to beat the Rangers in the playoffs. I was all in on the Islanders then. Suffered throughthe playoff loss to Mike Palmateer and the Maple Leafs, and then losing to the Rangers in 79 before we went on the Cup run.

It has been in decline for about a decade+. Its not going to go under, but the popularity certainly isnt there/where it should be.

Idk, someone here always makes it a solid point to cry about how the NBA sucks.(not saying you are) I don’t doubt the downward spiral from a statistical standpoint though. The NBA is bold and controversial at times & it can rub people the wrong way. It just doesn’t feel like that when you go online though, because there’s so many places to discuss basketball between a sports forum, Twitter, IG or any other social media outlet. I guess when you look at the big picture every American sport gets the same amount of outside attention and it’s all the same in actuality.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it wasnt me, I think the only time I've ever brought it up was talking about jersey sales but I could be wrong, hell idk. I'm more fascinated with the numbers and data of these things as opposed to the ideology of why there may be a decline. It SHOULD be more popular than it is, especially when you rewind to the 80s and compare to the NFL's growth rate. From a numbers standpoint it doesnt make much sense that the viewership is what it is today. That's the point where the conversation goes into why, but theres so many varying factors it's basically a pointless argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not a huge secret that it's in massive decline in regards to viewership. I think it's more a case where the popularity of the NFL has grown leaps and bounds while all the other major sports have softened (but baseball and hockey far more than basketball). This Gallup poll data is interesting: https://news.gallup.com/poll/224864/football-americans-favorite-sport-watch.aspx Viewership across non-football has plummeted though the monoculture in basketball is vibrant these days and i thought their bubble last year did a great job capitalizing on the dearth of live sports. Basketball and Baseball both suffer from long seasons that make individual game results feel meaningless a lot of the time. However, after the NFL and CFP, March Madness (where you have a high concentration of meaningful games) is itself one of the biggest media tentpoles of the year and amongst the most expensive media.
