It's a shame that it's a Monday night- and going up against Redskins/Cowboys(normally one of the highest rated games of the year for MNF).

Love them doing Fox NFL Sunday from there the day before. That'll be must watch for sure.

Stever pissing in the cheerios again

Anyway, I'm glad it is going against some random nfc east game than the patriots.

I plan on attending the game. Should be a nice couple days in the big city

except for the fact that the Redskins/Cowboys got the best ratings in 5 years last year on Monday Night Football:

It's hardly a random NFC east game.

Baseball doing well on FS1.

I get the feeling baseball is doing very well overall...

ESPN's opening night and then opening day quadrupleheader was up by 48% compared to last year. The Opening night game was the top opening night game in 5 years.

One thing about baseball- there they put pace of play things in place- and they have worked. Games are around 8-9 minutes shorter(even though offense is up by almost a half a run per game- 8.60 to 8.16). So it'll be interesting to see if that continues.

That's great to see. It's what many of us have been saying other than you know who. It just time for the public to get use too thinking and finding FS1.

Positive statements about FS1 during 21st Century Fox's earnings statement:

So, what's the under/over on Bill Simmons signing with Fox?

That would be a great hire.

ESPN trying to spin it as if they decided to let him go.
Pretty clear at this point that Simmons hates ESPN's guts.

I remember he was cracking alot of jokes about FS1 when it came out.

Bill Simmons is a man-child. Can't listen to his voice without cringing.

USWNT vs Ireland friendly on Sunday averaged 319K viewers on FS1; NY Red Bulls vs NYCFC 233,000; Garbage Time 188,000.
