gftChris Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I wonder why there's such an inversion? Are they marketing more the 'experience' of going to the games? Are tv channels not showing them as much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think the thing about baseball/basketball....is that those sports are so much more local broadcast oriented. The national numbers I do not think take into account the local viewership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Where is NFL draft in that chart? I wonder also if it is taking in to account people watching games in bars, or via means that aren't necessarily recorded, such as via online streams?

Browns149 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Today is a GREAT day for sports. The Tribe home opener and the second round of the Masters. No football to be seen or heard of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBrown Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Tim does the business again We are so poor at the moment, the young lads like Kane, Mason and Bentaleb need a rest but those borught in, dont perform.

macula31 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I know you don't like Sherwood gftChris, but Villa's fortunes sure have changed since he arrived. He's even got Cleverly playing superbly atm. I can't wait for Sunday. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 He is doing with Benteke what he did with Adebayor when he took over us, just getting the ball to him as quickly and often as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm yet to be convinced it's anything but the Harry Redknapp/Tony Pulis/Stuart Pearce 'bounce' effect. Let's wait until the summer, see who he brings in, wait til next year, see what style of football he plays. if this is his "we just need to get points we'll worry about style later" approach to just the next month, then great. If this is plan A, B & C (as it seemed to be at spurs) then less great. I'm suspecting the latter. I'm also quietly confident of a win this weekend.

LondonBrown Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 haha another English managers are rubbish post, give Redknapp the players and money Mourinho has at Cheslea and he'd win just as much and in a lot nicer style as well. We can all set up a team not to lose and buy three £30m attacking players and hope they win the game for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Why did you boys hijack my thread? The question was whether or not you could think of two important sporting events that happen on the same day (that are not football....football that is, not futbol...but futbol could be one of them.)

Browns149 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Is Lerner looking to sell Villa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yes, been trying to sell for about a year now. Word is that he has a deal lined up for the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yes, been trying to sell for about a year now. Word is that he has a deal lined up for the summer. I have been expecting him to buy into the MLS after he sold the Browns....but no word on that yet. Maybe once he sells Aston Villa he will look seriously in that direction. Hopefully, as the MLS has expansion plans that don't really include Cleveland. The MLS expanded by 2 teams this year: another NYC team and Orlando. Also, future expansion will take place in Atlanta in 2017, another LA team in 2018, and Minnesota in 2018. Also under consideration are to put teams in Miami, Las Vegas, Sacramento, San Antonio/Austin, and St. Louis. Cleveland had been talked about but that was about a decade ago, and the guy that was to be the owner, Bert Wolstein, died. So maybe Lerner can step into the breach here. Arthur Blank, owner of the Atlanta Falcons is the proposed owner of the ATL MLS team. A group headed by David Beckham is the proposed owner for a Miami team. A guy name Peter Gruber is heading up the new LA team proposed ownership group. A guy named Bill McGuire will be the Minnesota team owner. The owner of the Sacramento Kings, Vivek Ranadive is proposed owner of a Sacramento team. A guy name Gordon Hartman is the proposed owner of a SA/Austin team. And I understand that Cavs owner Dan Gilbert has some interest in bringing an MLS team to the Detroit area and playing in the old Pontiac Silverdome.
