Not a big deal imo.

 

I think people who gamble on the games might disagree. Extending a game that coaches would let end under normal circumstances can alter the score, result in injuries, etc. all for network and not football reasons.

 

No sports league wants to look like it's letting outside forces influence game decisions.

 

ESPN should be making/influencing zero coaching decisions.

Although I believe the time outs led to CJ still being in and getting carries which ultimately led to a fantasy win for me the above post is spot on

What was the over/under on the game? I wonder if it cost people money.

 

 

I didnt bet the game but I doubt it did. 26-33 points would still be an under

Not defending ESPN, but all they did was ask. Perhaps blame should be placed on the idiot who actually took coaching suggestions from the network airing his game.

To think they even had the gall to ask is unbelievable.
The gall to think that ESPN would want to get in the advertising spots they contractually get during the game to pay off the $1b they spent for the MNF rights. The NFL is a business. ESPN is a business. The game's a business. Edited by cdrudge

The big question is how often does this happen? Do they ask coaches every week in every game to do this cause that affects all kinds of stuff...

 

All of a sudden we start looking back and wonder "why the hell did so and so call a TO???" now we r asking ourselves if it was "network TO"

 

Personally if I was a coach ur #1 proirity is winning the game period. If that means benching a star back or saving TO"s for important situtations or running the clock out. That is what coaches get paid for. If the Network need TO"s let the ref call it like it is. "This is a network TO for commericals" Don't "ask" the coaches to take TO's.
