2024 NFL Schedule
My wife and I have a neat opportunity through a client of hers to watch the Vikings @ Bears game (whenever that is) in a suite with on-field passes before the game. Being in a suite will help tremendously, but still fingers crossed the game isn't January 4th! :P This company/client is a long time staple in Chicagoland and is actually one of the food vendors for the team, so we're thinking this should be pretty cool.
I can't believe there hasn't been any leaks yet. Maybe today?
Starting to spill now:

You know the NFL is rooting hard for this year's rookie class of QBs to hit hard. They sell the QB matchups. Its what brings in the fringe fans, the fanatics and everything in between. If you look at the imagery and product the NFL churns out, its all about the QBs. So the more good ones, the better for the brand.
I really do think that JJM will be that face for Minnesota. It's coming.

Nope. Falcons at home against Pittsburgh Week 1.

All of the negatives you laid out are valid but if you're the NFL and the NFL owners-- a business trying to make money-- you're going to try and grow the game, no? Going international is the obvious route to take. I don't fault them for doing so.
I'm in my 30s so for me the NFL has never been this niche sport we need to cradle and protect the sanctity of the game or whatever. It's always been huge and has only gotten larger as time has gone on. Someday it'll reach a saturation point and they'll have to dial back. Mark Cuban predicted they'd hit that point years ago lol and it just keeps growing. Until then I don't get too bent out of shape with the business practices. It makes me happy when they pull huge ratings because that means more eyeballs, more coverage, more random people at parties or work I can talk to and expect to be in the know about the games. I don't see that they're playing in a new place and think oh no it's the beginning of the end. Quite the opposite, for me.
BEAT THE GMEN!
Agreed. I'm much older than you, but I don't get all curmudgeony about the NFL expanding overseas, going on different streaming platforms, etc. The NFL is King and long live the King.
Week 1: at New York Giants (9/8)
Week 2: San Francisco 49ers (9/15)
Week 3: Houston Texans (9/22)
Week 4: at Green Bay Packers (9/29)
Week 5: New York Jets (London, 10/6, 8:30 a.m. CT)

The schedule is the schedule, I don't ever fret about it except for playing outside in late December or January and other than Seattle in December, they don't have to deal with that. This is a transition year regardless, so I'll be skipping the NFL Sunday Ticket and going pure Red Zone Channel.
