Or people go to a bar because it's a weekend and they're willing to get hammered early like a drinking brunch. So you watch football that way. So I could come up with 100 reasons why football was better than baseball.
know it's funny there's businesses that are being started and i'm gonna get the name wrong i don't know if it's pronounced chasm oh it's the the sphere like uh that arena because people don't want to be on their couch they want to be an environment like going to the game where you can celebrate with people and have that it's why these stadiums when the team is on the road they open their home stadium and 40 000 people come to watch on the jumbotron because of that feeling of being there
No, because everything's by comparison. So it makes us look worse as an industry. But then we'll do the math on the media deal and say, all right, if they're getting five times our rate, what's the reason? Is it based on viewers? Is it based on somehow what the networks need to program?
Because it certainly can't be based on the hours that baseball could provide, because they can obviously provide more. So We never saw it trickle down. We never got to go to sponsors and say, look, the NFL has these numbers, so we're going to up our rate card. We just never could do that.
I love a solo movie. Me too. I like watching games alone, actually, because I don't like being bothered. And that comes from probably 18 years of watching games and being bothered all game. But I enjoy it. I watched the championship games, and I was solo. And I could do whatever I wanted. I could mute it when I didn't want to listen to Brady. I could put it louder. I could stand up.
I could pause it if I wanted to go to the bathroom and not worry. Like, I love the control of being alone.
I don't enjoy watching sports or watching movies or watching award shows with other people.
Well, I think it's important. I think that to control the viewing experience, it's something that we all talk about is how do we give the viewers more control with their bundle, more control with their camera views. And it turns out people don't actually like the level of control that they thought they would. I'm just a little different. I do like that level of control.
And I manifested, I find, by being alone is the best way.
The number of people who actually pick their own camera. Wait, wait, explain. Picking your own camera angles was something that was available. Remember when you could, there was a 3D time, you could get the glasses. There were different angles and you could decide how you wanted to watch the game.
It's funny in that that is what they thought would be added value for the consumer. That's what all these increases in technology and improvements are, is let's give the consumer what they want. Except consumers, at the end of the day, we all think they're so sophisticated in their desires.
The question is what percentage of people actually thought that they were sitting you on the abyss?
But what are baseball and baseball games as well? There's a number of minutes of action. We would study this. It's also overblown, and I'd like John to probably disagree with me.
Is there anything more random than the extra time called at the end of a half?
You're right.
If it's nine in the first half, you just have to do the math.
Oh, I thought the 45 winds up to 51. No. So the 45 stops at 45? Stops at 45. And no one's counting the extra time? Everybody's counting the extra time, but there's no public display of it. There is on TV.
Well, I love that they let a play develop in soccer. Where in football, in other times sports, you don't can say, oh wait, we're on a fast break. Like, yeah, the buzzer went off, but we're on a fast break.
I want to quote Bud Selig here, because anytime I can quote him, I love to do it in honor of Bud. And we would complain whenever we had a call go against us. And there's a head of baseball operations, on-field operations. After Joe Torre was done with the Yankees, it was him for a while. Now it's Mike Hill.
And you call in, and sometimes you go all the way up to the commissioner when you get a call against you, an umpire's call against you, a block in the plate or a ball strike or an out. And Bud would say, all right, here's what we're going to do. We're going to keep track for you. And you'll find over 162 games, this was my first year to win the league.
