The NFL Cancelling "Mic'd Up" Due To Budget Cuts Is One Of The Dumbest Decisions Made By A League Famous For Dumb Decisions https://www.barstoolsports.com/newy...cisions-by-a-league-famous-for-dumb-decisions

NY Post- The NFL Network is being forced to cut $20 million out of its projected budget and, in the process, already has eliminated at least five shows, including one that featured Deion Sanders, The Post has learned. The less-than-hoped-for budget has made negotiations with on-air personnel tense, and there is a feeling some will either not be retained or be forced to take pay cuts, according to sources.
The moves have been made as part of the NFL’s overall budget, which includes what is expected to be an amped-up celebration of the NFL’s 100th season this year. NFL Network has apparently absorbed part of the project into its budget. NFL Network is definitively cutting five programs. Sanders’ “21 & Prime,” “Power Rankings,” “Pick ‘em,” “Playbook” and “Mic’d Up” are off the air. The future of the weekend edition of “Good Morning Football” is in question.
I’m sure this soundbite has been used for Roger Goodell in the past and he probably isn’t responsible for every single decision that is made on the NFL Network, but I am using it anyway.
There aren’t a lot of things that can stop my stupid brain that’s been broken by the unlimited content choices of 2019 from scrolling on social media or the TV channel guide. But one of the few was a Mic’d Up segment on Twitter or the actual show on NFL Network. It doesn’t matter if the Mic’d Up followed around a player more wholesome than a boy scout like the Andrew Luck Mic’d Up
A crazy fuck like Bruce Arians
A journey into a little game like the Super Bowl, where you can hear the real time human reactions to huge plays that decided the championship
Or just bouncing around the league and finding out which players and coaches actually have personalities
Now I’m sure losing a show hosted by Deion Sanders or one devoted to power ranking things ruined some peoples’ days. I personally would rather watch paint dry while someone scratched a chalkboard in my general vicinity. However the reasoning for the cancellation of Mic’d UP is even crazier.
In response, the NFL Network said it was actually upping its investment, but it was shifting where the spending is taking place with the NFL 100 celebration. “As part of an increased investment in programming and content for 2019, NFL Network will unveil several shows geared towards a celebration of the NFL’s 100th season,” an NFL network spokesman, Alex Riethmiller, said in a statement to The Post. “These shows will replace a handful of existing shows from our 2018 schedule.”
So wait, the NFL Network is cutting Mic’d Up so the NFL can suck its own 100 year old dick with what I imagine will be some cool shows but also some shows featuring black and white games featuring guys named Otto and players that ran a 6.0 40? That’s as ludicrous as the NFL crying poverty and cutting shows in the first place. The Sabols are probably rolling over in their graves seeing an all-access gem like Mic’d Up get the axe for highlights they probably shot in the early days of NFL Films along with the occasional incredible use of the NFL’s history like the Super Bowl commercial (that Saquon Barkley AKA the Giants won by the way).
TL;DR- I guess Mic’d Up is dead so we can get some lame countdown of the best players/teams from the last 100 years as well as fresh content about the best Packers/Bears games from the last century.
