What parameters are being changed by the way? Clarify


Since you know what they are then answer these questions for me

Which person is more likely to be discussed right now Odell Beckham or Lebron James?
Which person is Dan McNeil more likely to be discussing Odell Beckham or Lebron James?
Which person do more sports fans care about currently Odell Beckham or Lebron James?

shocking.... an attempt to veer away from previous comments

that's your MO.... you change the discussion to fit whatever the hell narrative you feel like discussing... case in point.... the original discussion was off-season NFL star player news vs. national nba regular season basketball discussion and what should be talked about on chicago radio. it mutated in to NBA finals ratings vs. nfl draft ratings a page or two ago.

I am not reducing anything. I am using YOUR OWN WORDS;

viewtopic.php?f=100&t=112567&start=600&p=2995721&view=show#p2995721



So; Many games, half empty arenas. You said it, so you prove it.

or STFU about it.

No, you haven't LTG.

I'm glad you are choosing to STFU up about this then.

Since you are talking about moving of goalposts then lets talk about how much the goalposts have been moved (to which you will not respond to either by the way)

I was told in the very beginning by the clown that you are currently defending that NFL talk is much preferred to NBA talk regardless of season. Others backed him up on that bullshit too.

Didn't matter if it were NBA season or post people just loved their football talk. NFL offseason outdraws NBA playoffs. Ok. then when i debunked that mythological bullshit it became well of course the NBA finals will outdraw NFL draft.

Then it became but of course the Conf finals will outdraw the NFL draft.

Then when i demonstrated that the NFL draft only draws on one particular day in one particular round (despite being covered by 6 stations) the clown wanted to extrapolate the data to make it appear as if that particular day is reflective of the entire draft. "Don't use the other days only use day one".

In you and others fools biases you just can't say that you were wrong.

The ratings bump enjoyed by the score has occurred as a result of Cub coverage and not because of McNeil and his vaunted football/guy talk bullshit that people on here pontificate about so much on here.

Its why they timed his return around it.

here, I'll pull a LTG and change the parameters back to the original discussion... which was nfl star off-season player news vs. regular season nba action in March 2018

Which person is more likely to be discussed right now Odell Beckham or Lebron James? Provided Lebron did not have a historic game the night before, breaking Odell news more ineresting than a typical 30-10-8 Lebron regular aseason game)
Which person is Dan McNeil more likely to be discussing Odell Beckham or Lebron James? dan mcneil prefers NFL, so Odell
Which person do more sports fans care about currently Odell Beckham or Lebron James? not a good question. on it's face more people care about Lebron, however breaking Odel beckham news is likely to be of more interest to more sports fans than lebron james regular season game performance in the month of March

blah blah... but to use an LTG word MANY prefer NFL news to NBA news... there are MANY more sports fans who list the NFL as their #1 favorite sport than who list nba as #1. there are of course times (like right now) where NBA news is of more interest than NFL news... but over the course of a year... the NFL is still king. i believe MANY agreed with this line of thinking... but keep on fighting the strawman

To double down on goalposts moving (which you will also ignore by the way)

Look at how many times NFL reg. season ratings were referenced (not part of my point) (Super Bowl ratings) Not part of my point. For some reason that escaped your rather watchful eye. All of those were examples of goalpost moving yet you failed to address that.

My original point was consistent and i haven't wavered. NBA regular season basketball talk is much preferred over NFL offseason talk.

After the draft there really isn't much to care about til Preseason Football.

You sound stupid. ESPN has built its entire network around Lebron talk (for better or worse). In case you haven't noticed Lebron free agent talk is going to dominate the sports landscape for the next month month and a half.

Get ready for it and prepare to be annoyed by it.

nice, glad we are back to original topic. I flat out disagree with the bold comment above. The NBA regular season is mostly meaningless. The title contenders are known before the season starts. playoff seeding of the top 3 teams doesnt matter. seeds 5-8 have no chance of winning the title. the only interesting items that happen in regular season is injuries to star players... for the title teams, the only point of the regular season is to survive it and to establish your playoff worthy bench players. as i've stated many times, the conference finals and nba finals is usually must watch TV for me. it's basketball being played at its highlest level by the best players and is generally a joy to watch.

read my post and try to comprehend it you fucking retard. try... just try.... please... try? i edited it and used bigger text so you could maybe figure it out

You are so stupid that it was clear that the original question contained "currently" (Which means right now). Not "Games in March"," Breaking News" etc.

Both guys are out of season so none of the points you made are relevant.

As it is currently which guy garners more interest?
Which guy does McNeil discuss currently (thus being on the wrong side of a hot button issue)

Simple question. We don't need qualifiers.

Both are out of season "currently"

I wonder how the collective NFL draft rating will compare to the NBA draft ratings?

O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason.

If last year's NBA draft numbers bare out this year probably a 1.5 million difference between the avg for the NFL draft and what ESPN did last night.


NBA has Avg. about 3.5 mil for their draft last couple of years while the NFL avg over 5 mil for the 3 days this year.

average

Clearly the first round matters the most, especially in the NBA draft. NFL day 1 ratings will murder NBA day 1.

_________________

Why is laughable clown? You want to focus on the first round because it kills your silly ass argument regarding the world loving all things NFL if you don't.

Fans care about 1 round out of 7 and yet you persist with this dumbass argument in which you are in essence contradicting yourself the more you go on with it.


You are so dumb that you don't even realize it.

Damn you're stupid. I can name at least five "deviations" from your original point yet you still think you're somehow correct.

_________________

Do you happen to know what the NFL pulled in terms of ratings for day 2? If day 2 is still equal or higher to NBA ratings, I think that would be illustrative of NFL dominance.

Also, ESPN ratings are not reflective as the NFL draft is heavily viewed on at least two channels

LTG.

"why is laughable clown"
Learn English you fucking dumbfuck.

You are the biggest idiot on the board and here you are attacking other people's intelligence. You keep presenting half-truth as fact, you keep changing your arguments, and you lie day in and day out to make yourself seem smarter. You are absolutely worthless and gutless.

Kill yourself.

Should have been what is laughable.

Don't you just love the intellectual "aptitude" tests that posters pose on here Frank?. I sure do.

Where do you think you fall on that scale you damn idiot?
You have a mult following your stupid ass around this board daily posting shit because he knows that you are so easily duped that you'd fall for anything.


The killer part is that this person is probably one of those that has broken bread with your flapjack flipping ass and presents himself as your "message board" friend. He doesn't have the balls to tell you that you are an idiot so he goes out of his way to demonstrate it each and every day.


As far as intelligence goes if you need the internet to validate it for you then you are a bigger fool than first anticipated.

As far as what people think about you on here you should have figured it out months ago boy (not so genius) You have been on the pay no mind list for awhile.

Your incessant trolling of Cubs fans seems to have run its course and nothing that you say ever even remotely passes as an original thought.

You've been reduced to personal attacks and meaningless vendettas. You are nothing more than a damn joke at this point.

You are insane. I can remember you once commanding a guy (Keyser) to respond to one of your posts. You stalk people incessantly for the purpose of arguing. You agreed to let up on BF then the second you were readmitted you started back down that same road with your lying ass.

As far as liars go you try to implore me to distort the NFL draft ratings just so it could help your cause.

You clung to claim that i personally attacked you first even after i presented 4 pieces of evidence to the contrary.

As i told you previously there is something a little off about you.

You will now take to chasing me around in other threads for the purpose of engaging in some sort of message board proxy war.

You have contradicted yourself so much that you've been rendered nothing more than a joke at this point.

It started as people care more about NFL regardless of season or circumstance.


Then it was transformed into

"Of course they care more about the Conf Finals"

""Of Course they care more about the NBA finals"

"NFL Draft outdraws the NBA playoffs but that only really applies to the first day of it"


"NFL in season draws more than the NBA period". Never was debatable from my standpoint.


"NBA free agency won't draw any interest but of course Lebron will dominate the coverage"


"Baseball will be bigger in 3 weeks" Cleverly failing to mention that very few care about Football in early July.

"NFL stadiums aren't half empty". Provided with at least 10 photos to the contrary yet forged on with his lying ass b.s. anyway.

Steady stream of lies and distortions from Fabricating Frank.

2.6 overnight rating. It's important to use the same metrics when comparing ratings, and I still can't find how many overall or average viewers the Draft last night drew, but the first round of the NFL Draft drew a 7.0 overnight rating, and the combined coverage of all rounds drew a 3.57.

Third day NFL Draft coverage draws 37% more viewers than the NBA Draft.
