Report: Jeff Triplette will retire – ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/01/07/report-jeff-triplette-will-retire/)

Wow...have to say Im happy cause this dude and his crew are terrible.

He's an ex colonel in the military, I appreciate his service but you're right his crew was fn awful. Im going to be a little sad cause every time I see his crew or Jerome Bogars crew I knew someone was fixing to take it right down sixth street made for some good chuckles. Hell Triplette damn near blinded a guy with a flag. And Bogar can't even say flag it sounds like fag so he started saying penalty instead. lol

Big time down...saints and panthers down 21% from last year. Wow

Markets and matchups son

But 21% for the prime matchup...? That’s big. Plus folks were home this weekend...half the country was in a deep freeze watching tv.

Valid point. Pretty sure a lot of people spent more time inside this past weekend than they normally would because of colder than normal temperatures.

Andy Reid must coach Georgia too. Fucking pathetic. I hate football but I'm also a masochist. So torn.

Yeah it doesn’t explain the full drop off, maybe half with the rest being the continuing downward trend. Let’s see what the drop is this weekend with the big boys stepping into the ring, NE, Pitt, Philly

That is bad, wow. NFL is in trouble, NOBODY thought baseball would end up like it did, IMO it's the fact that the games have gotten too long with every play being reviewed, the "concussion protocol" is getting out of hand to, every time a player is hit hard they have to go to the tent, the game is getting to where defenders cant even hit hard anymore. Might as well play college style and just score 55 a game.

I think I have never careless about a wild card weekend then this past one. Even though I am not a fan of the Ravens I was hoping they got in just for something to watch/care about.
