Nope. I see it still gaining relevance and presence.. When I was a kid (oh god.. one of those stories), I listened to the draft on the radio. That was the only coverage of it. I dont even know why I listened, I didnt know who the players were.

Now, even the combine is must see TV.

America cant get enough. I expect saturation will start to set in over the next decade though..

I'd be curious to know why the OP even suggested this. Is it possible he's not as into it because the Hawks lost the Owl? Because I see no comparison to the NBA losing its relevance. For me, I could take the easy way out and say it was because the Sonics disappeared, but if I was being honest I lost interest a couple years before that. There was just such a talent drop with the league being infused with a bunch of high school players.

I think more people than ever, question it's true credibility.

LOL, yeah I just heard that the combine ratings were up like 200% over last year.

Btw, NBA ratings are also up, so not sure what the OP is talking about...........I don't think he does either.

Curious to see how it is being received in the UK. I know Rog is hell bent on putting a few teams over there. Is a WFL (World) or GFL (Global) in the cards?

Seahawks lose heartbreaking Super Bowl. Within a month, OP thinks NFL is fading. I'm curious if he thought this last year when we were defending champs.

Very well.

The Wembley games speak for themselves, the demand is absolutely ridiculous. I can see 5, maybe 6 games being held here next year provided enough teams are prepared to lose a home game.

I don't want a franchise in the UK though, to be honest.
