The Sacramento/Stockton/Modesto TV market (as defined by Nielsen) is ranked 20th in the U.S., and is pretty far ahead of existing MLS markets (KC,...
@ElJefe with one of the finest posts in recent BigSoccer memory. Starting with a calm, informative approach, and closing with threats to make...
One of the biggest wins (IMO) is getting all of those Friday games on UNIMAS. That network has tons of distribution, and I believe it is even...
I just wish someone had a full audio recording of the front office meeting with Vergara where he told everyone to speak Spanish, and remarked that...
This design seems a bit basic to me. On the one hand, the right angles give it kind of a classic look. On the other hand, I'm not a fan of the...
Lead-ins, Lead-ins, Lead-ins. They obviously have a huge effect on the league's ratings, which is why FOX is a much less desirable outlet than...
https://twitter.com/JeffreyCarlisle/status/448486214161940481 Looks like Gedion rejected the German U-17 invite so we live to recruit another...
It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Knave, and all the realistic coaching prospects in the world won't make any fcking difference.
A quick CAN/USA population comparison tells me that's the equivalent of 3.16 million viewers in the USA. Pretty impressive.
I don't think the "long game" ends with NBC dumping a bunch of money on MLS in 10 years. The more likely long game (IMO) is signing a shorter deal...
Is it too late to re-open negotiations with NBCSN? Clearly the EPL lead-in could be a huge driver of viewership.
330,000 viewers on NBCSN according to SBJ's John Ourand: https://twitter.com/Ourand_SBJ/status/443462268768890880
NBC ratings continue to grow. Really think they are on to something, and it's a shame MLS won't be sticking with them. The "fit" demographically...
^^ Agreed with many of your points, especially the list of things they did not have buttoned up surround the announcement. But I think you're even...
It's to protect TWC's "investment". The Crew is being used as a pawn to get a small group of people to switch to TWC. If TWC can get ~1,000 people...
A day has passed and this is still pathetically short-sighted. I'm sure TWC dropped a pile of cash on Precourt's desk, but I highly doubt the pile...
From a distance, this appears to be a disaster. It's hard enough for Crew STH's and diehards to get these games, but what about non-diehards?...
I think having more direct involvement from MLS clubs will be a boon for USL Pro. Independent USL clubs now become much more attractive...
Even worse!
This press conference does not inspire much confidence.
Really cool news for KC fans. As a USA fan, the thought of a top young defender developing at Juventus would be intriguing, but getting to...
I understand trying to make a play for some CBA leverage, but this kind of off-hand comment could easily be picked up by mainstream press, and...
Toronto invented Seattle.
I wish. Most of them were probably in the very early years of the league, when there was little reporting/understanding of how the teams were...
Ugh, you're right. Bad move from almost all angles.
