Orphaned references in 2023 NFL season

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2023 NFL season's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "contract":

• From Cleveland Browns Stadium: Feran, Tom (January 22, 2013). "Mike Polensek says utility First Energy will have its name on a stadium powered by the city's electric company". Politifact Ohio. Retrieved November 2, 2016.
• From Kliff Kingsbury: SportsCenter [@SportsCenter] (August 29, 2014). "Kliff Kingsbury & Texas Tech agree to new contract worth $9.1 million in 2015, w/ $200K raise each year through 2020" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
• From Stephon Gilmore: Spotrac.com. "Stephon Gilmore". Spotrac.com. Archived from the original on November 1, 2016. Retrieved October 31, 2016.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:26, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Top 10

So since cable and streaming don’t really get treated correctly and most of the time only games on linear tv dominate the top 10 most watched games so should we make a top 3/5/10 list for most streamed/cable tv games or even some notable ones? Hoopstercat (talk) 18:44, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

No, unless you get a different source. The current sportsmediawatch link states, Streaming services ESPN+ and Peacock are not Nielsen-rated and thus games that air exclusively on these platforms will not be included. Thus, you will end up unfairly only listing Amazon streamed games. As for cable-only games, NFL Network is generally in less homes than ESPN, so you are going to be hypocritical if you are making that same argument that cable is in less homes than linear TV.

Yes that ESPN is in more homes than NFL Network but all of ESPN's exclusive games are overlapped by ABC windows which means their ratings have actually probably been about the same this season (pending week 5 NFL Network results) so cable tv only would be close, since it’s linear tv (broadcast networks) that have really taken a huge step from cable, but at least a notable list outside of the top 10 may work Hoopstercat (talk) 12:55, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

There is no need. There is a pretty good argument that we don't really need the top 10 viewership but that's a discussion for a different time. Esolo5002 (talk) 16:07, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia has only been including it since 2014 because the source used for that has been around since that season, I believe. Also, I think it's just a fun stat/source of information to bring up. You may want to possibly bring it up for debate if you think other's feel the same way as well. 24.187.46.97 (talk) 03:38, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Retirement Addition

Quick question. As NFL kicker Robbie Gould has officially retired (2005-2015 with Chicago, 2016 with NYG, 2017-22 with SF), should he be placed in notable retirements or with the other players in the retirement list? Techie234 (talk) 00:22, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Since it happened after the season begun, he would be included in next year's list of retirements. See 2024 NFL season. 24.187.46.97 (talk) 00:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. Techie234 (talk) 14:40, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Correct placement for Gould is on this page, as he did not play during the 2023 season. Frank Anchor 19:53, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
