Saw this early morning here in London so it was evening in Hawaii where I assume Brandel was getting ready for The Sentry.
KVV came for him and it isn’t going well for Brandel so far. Will be interesting to see how this goes on Wednesday when the rest of Golf Twitter starts to see it:
It’s such a bad faith argument. You can’t criticise the amount of ads on anything if you yourselves have even one ad in your content. He must know it’s a bad faith argument, given he’s an adult person.
To argue that the broadcast ad load and NLU are the same cos NLU put a 2 minute ad in a 2:05 hour pod…? Take it away please.
Also - “the TV companies have overpaid SO MUCH for these contracts that stuffing the product with ads is the ONLY way to even get close to re-couping” isn’t the get-out-of-jail-free card that he thinks it it.
Seems to be running the “do you know what a hard camera is, Chris” approach here. So easy to dislike.
This is how I learned I’m blocked by brandel
Someone should tell him that they didn’t have to pay $1Bn for those rights. That’s the amount they chose to bid. And factored into that decision was some calculus on how much revenue from commercials they would get.
I’m sure NLU does the same, but at least they take into consideration what the inclusion of too many commercials does to the product.
Nobody is happier about twitter’s change from 140 characters to unlimited than Brandel Chamblee.
Still don’t understand the CFB is dying point from the original tweet. But yeah, Brandel is wrong on this one.
Oh Brandel
@Tron’s first tweet this morning is a retweet of this.
God I cannot wait. This whole bullshit from Brandel is prefect going into the first “Happy Hour” today as well.
This is just a longwinded excuse that Brandel doesn’t have YouTube premium
What does YouTube premium have to do with it?
27 million people watched Michigan / Alabama…
Brandel is a dipshit, obviously.
Brandel is the type of guy who thinks he’s the smartest and coolest person in every room and in every situation. But deep down everyone around him and even his friends know he’s a dweeb.
I have typed out a several different replies but it is honestly hard to troll something so stupid.
Brandel’s knee jerk response is the epitome of all the Tour/TV execs that seem to think commercials are literally the only way to recoup expenses and allow advertisements. How’s golf literally the only sport that can’t seem to get creative at all about allowing opportunities to feature sponsors that don’t interrupt the flow every 5 minutes? Sponsored commercial free blocks, signs on the course, digital green screen ads on the fairways/greens, heck even allow sponsored holes, etc.
Just feels like there are so many opportunities and no one is willing to even try anything. All they can think of is more commercials.
But…playing through!
I think the dying product was about the PGA Tour and not CFB
You’re probably right, just reads funny.
