Roger Goodell didn\u2019t mince words when talking about the efforts of pro football\u2019s dedicated network.<\/p>\n
When appearing on the stand Monday as part of the ongoing \u201cNFL Sunday Ticket\u201d trial, Goodell not-so-subliminally judged NFL Network\u2019s production quality when airing \u201cThursday Night Football.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had my own opinion that our production was below standards that the networks (Fox and CBS) had set,\u201d Goodell said. \u201cWe had not met that standard.\u201d<\/p>\n
NFL Network carried \u201cTNF\u201d exclusively from its inception in November 2006 until CBS joined the fray in 2014.<\/p>\n
The last such game to air on the network came in 2021.<\/p>\n
The NFL pivoted the weeknight game to Amazon\u2019s Prime Video beginning in 2023.<\/p>\n
Last season, the league experienced a growth in viewership by 24% relative to its inaugural year broadcasting on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
Goodell\u2019s larger headache pertains to the antitrust suit filed against \u201cSunday Ticket,\u201d the YouTube TV platform through which football fans can watch any game not televised in their local markets.<\/p>\n
Legal proceedings began on June 5 and originated from the filing of a class action suit filed in 2015.<\/p>\n
Plaintiffs asserted that Goodell and the NFL intentionally paired with only DirecTV in order to limit viewing opportunities as well as inflate subscription prices.<\/p>\n
Goodell called \u201cSunday Ticket\u201d a \u201cpremium product\u201d and touted the NFL as \u201cvery pro-consumer.\u201d<\/p>\n
The commissioner\u2019s barbs toward NFL Network weren\u2019t the only tangential comments from the trial to make waves.<\/p>\n
When discussing the hypothetical of NFL teams separately negotiating TV deals \u2014 as opposed to the collectively bargained model now in place \u2014 Cowboys owner Jerry Jones threw the smaller market Cincinnati Bengals under the bus.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am convinced I would make a lot more money than the Bengals,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI\u2019m completely against each team doing TV deals. It is flawed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since sitting atop the NFL\u2019s pantheon in August 2006, Goodell has overseen a skyrocketing of pro football and its branding, both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n
One of the NFL\u2019s hallmarks has been finding ways to better market itself and remain relevant, even during its dullest periods of the offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
