1. Here’s what I wrote in May when the NFL decided to put a playoff game on Peacock: “The NFL can do whatever it wants. The NFL is Teflon. If the NFL put a game on at 3 a.m., we’d watch. The NFL has a grip on this country that gives them the power to do whatever it wants without any ramifications.”
While I’m not above taking a victory lap, I’m not reminding you of these words to pat myself on the back or show you what a genius I am. I’m just reinforcing that the NFL can do whatever it wants, from treating fans horribly to ignoring an officiating problem, and we’ll go along for the ride.
This was proved yet again this weekend when the Miami Dolphins–Kansas City Chiefs game Saturday night drew 23 million viewers on Peacock.
