The Sports Blogosphere reacts to the NFL schedule
The NFL is so goddamn popular that the most mundane of news stories (We knew who each team played in 2015 literally months ago, this was solely for when and where) has gotten to be a media event. The schedule was released and within hours we were surrounded with articles describing every possible angle that this tiny morsel of new information. Analyzing the opening match-up! Analyzing the monday night games! Who has the most primetime games! Articles that are team specific! We got two whole days of schedule chatter from every major sports site on the planet. And we ate it all up. I’m effectively covering it right now by drawing a comic featuring my KSK Kompatriots also reacting to it.
The NFL has us all by the balls. It’s no wonder they laugh and shove away most scandals, and get away with so much, they know even the smallest of news morsels will have us all clamoring for more. Remember last offseason when the NFL was dying, when scandal was breaking, when Roger was surely doomed and everything was over? Yeah, then the season happened, and we all kinda forgot that because we had football again. Then we willingly surrendered our newsday to the release of the goddamn schedule.
We are addicts and the league is the pusher.
The monkey is working on the first power rankings for the season based on strength of schedule, win probability, and no actual journalistic content.
Ape!
Lol KSK
Thank you, I’ve been waiting for the schedule release so I can schedule vacations. This is the first I’ve heard of it. When did it come out? The only NFL news I’m aware of is that the three-week draft travel restrictions in Chicago started on Sunday.
They needed a 3 hour TV special for this after we all knew who’d be playing who after week 17. Most of the game times were leaked a few hours before it anyway.
Christmas Ape!
The NFL, where releasing schedules is a big enough deal that ESPN would rather broadcast that than an NBA or NHL playoff game.
*pushes up glasses* Technically we knew the where already as well, just not the when.
I’m kinda surprised Sarah S. got left out….
Sarah hasn’t written for the site for a while now, I think she got sick of us talking about Pokemon all the time.
I left out a few of the other writers.
Is that ape holding a steaming turd in anticipation of throwing some shit around?
Does writing this comment ever make you a little introspective about your fandom?

Quite possibly the most random thing I’ve ever seen in any webcomic that I’ve ever read.
I listen to the around the NFL podcast that features the majority of NFL.com writers (real nfl news junkies should listen for sure). They don’t like writing about this anymore than you care to read/hear it. The fact is that we are all starved for content and this is one of the slowest parts of the year for football news.
Articuno is clearly the best wall of the three.
Christmas Ape is ready for more of the Nugget Baron
Zapdos Guy is entirely correct.
Articuno is a really good tank, Zapdos gets Thunderbolt and Drill Peck so it’s got versatility, and Moltres… Moltres has Fire Blast and that’s it.
Of course, just talking about the first generation. 😀

You know, now that I’ve been listening to Intentional Sounding, Sam in this comic makes so much more sense.
