blip

Friedman assembled a championship roster last year, his second in five years, so maybe this past winter will count as an expensive blip.

That will take some doing, especially in countries such as Brazil, where American football barely registers a blip on the sports radar with interest dwarfed by the passion for soccer.

Although experts expect that number to have dropped slightly for 2024, they are warning that any fall will almost certainly be a blip.

After winning the Premier League in six of the previous seven campaigns, last season was dismissed as a blip as Manchester City suffered just their second trophyless term under Pep Guardiola.

Even if you pay for the ad-free tier, series are often interrupted by weird little blips where, presumably, ads appear in economy seating.
