Between the endless parade of YouTubers that no one over the age of 25 had ever heard of and the gimmicky segments that came with them, <a href=\"https:\/\/awfulannouncing.com\/youtube\/first-nfl-broadcast-made-big-game-smaller.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube\u2019s maiden voyage into NFL broadcasting<\/a> was set out to accomplish one thing: impress younger viewers.<\/p>\n<p>As one might expect, that came at the cost of disenfranchising the core audience which is, well, people who have no idea who the heck <a href=\"https:\/\/awfulannouncing.com\/youtube\/deestroying-sideline-reporter-nfl-game.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deestroying<\/a> is. Count Chris Long among that core audience.<\/p>\n<p>The former defensive end turned host of the\u00a0Green Light with Chris Long podcast had some sharp words for the broadcast on the most recent episode of his show.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Chris is having a tough time adjusting to the new age of TV programming \ud83e\udd23 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kuQ5RImPNE\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/kuQ5RImPNE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Green Light with Chris Long (@greenlight) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/greenlight\/status\/1965479258073206844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">September 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI watched the YouTube broadcast of the game in Sao Paulo, and I felt immediately like somebody who was being ushered to, like, an early grave,\u201d Long began. \u201cLike, it just felt like, \u2018Time to die, boomer. You don\u2019t know who Deestroying is? Time to die. You don\u2019t want to see MrBeast\u2019s, like, giant f*cking pearly white smile as he Squid Games 2 NFL fans through a f*cking goal post? No problem. Just go to bed, you\u2019re old anyways.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole thing to me, it\u2019s jarring. And I understand what old people feel like when programming changes because, like, I just don\u2019t get it. But I\u2019m old. And nobody wants to be the guy that\u2019s like, is sh*tting on, like, streamers \u2026 like, I don\u2019t want to sh*t on young people. But I\u2019m like, \u2018Man, I really felt it the other night.\u2019 I\u2019m not going to throw a fit. I\u2019m still going to watch the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for Long, that\u2019s the only game YouTube will be in charge for this season. Thankfully, we can all slink back into the comfortable ramblings of Terry Bradshaw once again, without interruption from MrBeast.<\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s safe to say, Friday\u2019s YouTube broadcast of the Los Angeles Chargers\u2019 win over the Kansas City Chiefs&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":131765,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,91356,91357,593,30972,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-131764","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-chris-long","11":"tag-green-light-with-chris-long","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-nfl-on-youtube","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131764\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
