"What a way to end a presser": an NFL sign-off
NFL on ESPN's short draws an unusually fast audience, with Marvin Harrison Jr. and an Ohio State reunion becoming talking points.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 101,183 views a day, 39 times a normal first day on this channel (2,588).
What a way to end a presser 😂
NFL on ESPN found a lighter moment amid its Week 5 coverage: a press-conference ending billed as "What a way to end a presser 😂". The short drew about 40,000 views in its first six hours, already far beyond the few thousand a typical short attracts over a full first day.
The comments are considerably busier than usual, too. Much of the conversation centers on Marvin Harrison Jr., including the prospect of a reunion with C.J. Stroud. The two played together at Ohio State, giving that discussion a college-football connection beyond the NFL implications. Those comments are viewers' interpretations, not confirmation of a transaction.
It isn't the channel's only off-field moment drawing an unusually large early audience. Another short features Adam Vinatieri joking during a halftime celebration for making the Hall of Fame. Alongside the game analysis and overtime discussions, ESPN's football coverage has room for a decorated kicker's comedy turn.
