  1. Tepper has 38% of his investments in these five dividend stocks. He probably has others, but these are some pretty large positions. So if you're trying to emulate Teppers money investing strategy so you can eventually buy the team from him, it's a place to start: * Facebook/Meta * Federal express * nvidia * intel * Microsoft https://finance.yahoo.com/news/billionaire-david-tepper-invested-38-193200477.html
  2. If you're looking to represent, but don't need the logo on everything
  3. If you live in the panthers viewing area, it will be aired locally
  4. Current tv contracts expire in 2033. If anything were to happen for a per-team package, that's when it would be reviewed/considered The only way the $ would work would be for all teams to get an even cut of the individual packages. So if the Cowboys have 99 subs and the Chargers just 1 sub, they both would split the rev share amount 50/50. Can't see the cowboys agreeing to that dilution
  5. For those curious: this is not an additional streaming playoff game for the schedule. Amazon is taking the one streaming game that was on Peacock this year as their own next year due to a clause in their contract (per WSJ)
  6. It won’t happen. It’s been covered with quotes from the NFL here in the past as to why
  7. his response is more than we heard from others in similar/nearby roles to similar comments made this past season.
  8. Any suggestions for under-represented names (like Vinny) that'd be appreciated /recognized ?
  9. Yes Lots of comments when worn at TBvCAR games, most often along the lines of "He didn't play for you", "He didn't play for us", and "We hated him here in TB"
  10. Somehow, even with one game left, it appears that I've won the season-long college+pro office football pool. I know, no idea how that happened either. I was coin-flipping with some of the choices. The prize? "the football jersey of the team of your choice". I'm going with a Panthers jersey (duh). But the question is -- which player? Only have three currently: Mills, Kuechly, Testaverde. Somewhere in the stash there's a fake/cheap $10 Peppers one - could probably upgrade that one with the HOF honor. If you have a pick of any Panthers player (not on the current roster - I don't like to pick active players on purpose) -- who would you pick if given a free jersey choice?
  11. 8k looks freakin' amazing when you see it live. but we're a ways off from getting anything close to that on this side of the world. We're having trouble getting to 4k in general. I can see 8k video boards in stadiums for locally-produced stuff, but the replay feeds won't be at that quality for a while
  12. All 4K football broadcasts are upscaled from 1080p. Lots of systems -- like the slo-mo stuff -- are limited to 1080p on the backend Nobody is filming NFL in native 4k
  13. It could be that CBS doesn't have the streaming infrastructure setup to handle a super bowl-sized audience on the 4K transcoding/distribution backend. It's likely a CBS decision rather than a cable company demand
  14. CBS will be airing the Super Bowl in 4K, but only via dedicated 4K cable channels. It will not be available in 4K anywhere else -- including the CBS app, the Nickelodeon broadcast, or any local channel (either via antenna or otherwise). The Paramount+ streaming service will also not be carrying the game in 4K, but will be in 1080p there.
  15. Let's use the whole quote, please. He was not embracing piracy, merely recognizing one aspect that piracy appears to have brought to the table. His main point was that piracy resulted in the people who worked on the show not making as much money as they would have. https://variety.com/2013/tv/news/breaking-bad-creator-vince-gilligan-piracy-boosted-shows-popularity-1200737192/
  16. Even if the creator says it's ok, that doesn't mean the distributor selling the product agrees. The only way that works is times when the content creators post their content on a (legit, free) service -- like when De La Soul posted their entire catalog on their own website for download a while back. They didn't mean "hey, here's all our songs for you to post on pirate websites". It was "here's all our songs so nobody has to go to a pirate website for them"
  17. As mentioned earlier, majority of households only subscribe to Netflix and at most one other service per month. Majority of households are not 6x$30/month
  18. with a $1.5b investment in Epic Games https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/disney-epic-games-deal-new-universe-franchises-fortnite-1235818438/
  19. HBO paid approx $5m per episode for Game of Thrones. Some episodes cost more than that. But all the $ came from HBO (more than 85% of HBO's revenue comes from subscriber fees). Streamers are cutting shows from their lineups that they don't have the IP rights for. MAX cutting MINX this season is one example, as it eliminates an (unnecessary) license fee from their budget.
  20. It probably will. YouTubeTV continues to grow, with the largest number of subscribers for a "cable alternative" (aka "skinny bundle") vs Hulu+Live TV or others. If things keep going the way it has been, expect to see YouTubeTV surpass satellite in terms of subscriber count in a few years. But the differentiator is going to be whether YouTubeTV has anything to offer that's different. They allegedly gained 1m subscriptions last year with Sunday Ticket. But that's not sustainable long-term if there aren't any other exclusives to the platform or differentiator If the new Sports-Only bundle takes off in popularity, we may see YouTubeTV subs dropped by those people who really only wanted sports programming and didn't care about local channels or whatever else YTTV brought to the table that isnt available elsewhere
  21. not a joke, it's true. Somebody has to pay for the content creation/licensing. if you're paying for a pirate stream (either via money or their own overlayed advertising), then that's money that doesn't go to the content creators. Buying a bootleg t-shirt outside a concert doesn't pay the band performing inside.
  22. Netflix's largest subscribed tier is their lower-cost ad-supported plan. There is an audience willing to trade lower fees for seeing commercials. I do pay attention to commercial spot load, and am equally annoyed. But I also know why they're present. Could a streamer charge a higher CPM, limit spots to a max of 15s apiece/one min max per break, do "this program is sponsored by" lead-ins....? Yes to all of these -- just a matter of time until things balance out. There are content providers today who created their programs without natural commercial breakpoints, believing their content would be seen commercial-free on a streamer. They're not happy with the situation either. If you want a bad commercial experience, you should have watched A Few Good Men on BBC America this weekend. Long spot loads seemingly every 6 minutes -- including smack in the middle of the Jack Nicholson courtroom scene. It was horrible compared to what the streamers are doing
