Is there a viable alternative to the current DirecTV-exclusive Sunday Ticket package that the NFL would be able to monetize to the same extent? Satellite TV, like cable, is in decline, but will the NFL be able to free up Sunday Ticket to other channels of distribution after 2022 without hurting the bottom line?

Is it time for the NFL's television rules to be overhauled?

Washington Post reports that ESPN wants flex schedule for Monday Night Football:

Not as easy and flexing a 1 pm game to 8 pm. Teams hate playing on Monday night as it shortens the week.
I agree...especially as a fan who occasionally goes to games.
a labor day weekend kickoff would be better for fans going to games, but less people at home to watch them
That's usually when the college football season kicks off, and I don't know if they have any agreement not to conflict with each other.
NFL had labor day weekend kickoffs until 2000
Low TV ratings were why the Labor Day weekend starts were discontinued after 2000.
Were the Saturday college football ratings on that weekend also lower than normal? Are they still? And if so, why hasn't the NCAA abandoned Labor Day weekend, too?
college football doesn't have a problem starting when less people are at home
many begin their scheduled filled with cupcakes, CBS didn't have an SEC game on that Saturday this year
I'm hoping Asheville doesn't switch to Tampa Bay @ Denver, since Dallas @ Seattle is the bigger game. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are doing the Seattle game.
Am i right? CBS is allowed to show Bengals-Eagles to the end? Have the rules changed?
According to the map on the506.com they didn’t.
The Fox late game ended just in time for "The Simpsons" last night, except they had to keep running commercials.
I adjusted the recording time since I found out in time that this had happened, but it may not have been enough. I haven't watched the entire episode yet. but I did watch "Family Guy" and they couldn't just limit what came after the last commercial break to the credits. They had to have more of the episode as well.
If I had paid closer attention I would have seen I needed to add ten minutes to both, not five.

WRONG !! It's happened MANY times on Red Zone. 8:00 OM ET is RZ's cut off time REGARDLESS of what's going on with the late gameswrong. I already said the explanation
wrong again. NY and Carolina areas the game was there until conclusion. Those markets joined Philly/Minny with about 40 seconds gone in the game
aint gonna happen. So because one game runs in OT lets give the networks up to an hour to BS until the late game? PLEASE PLEASE send me some of whatever you are smoking.
nope. Too late for most folks. Again ONE TIME it happened in how many years of Red Zone?

You must be stuck in a time warp or something
The Bengals-Eagles game was in Philly. Even with flex scheduling, this would've been a De Facto CBS game anyway (Which is was as CBS carried it)

The point was the "bonus coverage" on CBS ran past the 3:25 time and FOX had the DH. Up until a couple years ago CBS would have to leave the game and go to studio unless you had the game from the get-go (which was basically the friends and family game....Philly, Cincy, Lexington, Columbus and Dayton carried it from the get go). Last year this rule was relaxed and both CBS & FOX carried bonus coverage to the end. This game went way past 3:25 (it was like 3:55) yet the bonus coverage was allowed to be shown to all markets that had an early game
