I do wonder how many people watch because of gambling/FF only. Count me as one. I am addicted to the Red Zone channel because you see all the scoring plays and as Scott Hansen says, you get 6+ hours of NO COMMERCIALS!!!

 

Without Red Zone and no gambling, I don't think I would watch...certainly not nearly as much. The product is not that great IMO...

 

I loved how in a recent interview Roger Goddell said the NFL does not support gambling... In anyway! Lol!

 

The NFL is where it is because of FF / gambling... Period.

I laugh when someone says they never buy something because of advertisement.

Agreed...Anheuser Busch isn't spending that much cash if nobody is buying based on the ads...

100% guilty. I watch quite a few more games than I would if I didn't play fantasy football.

Well, I would suggest that TV played a pretty big role in there too. Probably don't have the explosion in FF and gambling if the NFL's product didn't translate so well visually to the small screen.
