Episode notes
Champions Face High Expectations
- The Eagles enter opening night as reigning champions with heavy public expectation and an eight-and-a-half point spread.
- Pat and crew frame the game as a high-stakes statement night that could set the tone for the season.
Red Zone Monetization Was Predictable
- Pat predicted the Red Zone would add ads once monetization began and the market signaled demand.
- He acknowledges it's inevitable but says fans will still watch despite disliking the change.
Interpret Fan Polls With Skepticism
- Treat preseason and early-season polls skeptically because respondents skew toward engaged, optimistic fans.
- Use poll context (who responded) before generalizing fan sentiment.
