Direcztv is already out of the consumer conversation, although they may still try to negotiate a continuation for the sports bar business. I’d like a team-by-team subscription rather than pay for individual games or picking the whole package. if the only option is buying the whole package, it’s still cheaper to view/eat/drink at home than it is going to a sports bar and eating/drinking there. But if the choice is between YouTube and Amazon Prime….. I think more people would would rather go through Amazon than through Google.

With just 23 days left in the current DirecTV Sunday Ticket contract, Apple has pulled out of the negotiations, leaving just Amazon and Google in the race word is that Apple wanted to sell individual games or teams, while the NFL wanted to make it an entire package. The NFL also wants to keep a certain price point to appease CBS and FOX from potentially losing viewers. as for Disney, while it could have been used to power Disney+ or ESPN subscriptions, the deal was likely too costly for a company currently looking to cut costs,

Making an assumption that Wilks has proven himself to have the "interim" title removed. Others have said that The Rooney Rule requires two external minority candidates be interviewed before Wilks can officially be offered the position. Would it be a reasonable option to solicit the NFL to suspend the Rooney Rule for Wilks? Would hate for the Panthers to do pretend interviews with potential candidates and run into potential lawsuit issue for no reason

i hope at some point we will get the honest story about Luke and Greg's departures

Luke may not want to have the time burden of being a full-time coach, but might be open to helping the Defense learn/watch tape as part of game prep.

FMIA/Peter King had an interesting piece on Baker this week, related to a chance encounter a while ago that Baker had with McVay where they spent 5+ hours on a flight next to each other chatting football.

I have this for QB representation already

Stadium PA volume/mixing (heck, ANY microphone/amplifier/speaker combo) needs to be treated the same way as concerts are -- Have somebody walk around with a meter and a reasonable ear, with an iPad running some audio mixing program and adjust things as needed from the audience viewpoint instead of just reaching over and cranking the volume on the board. See this all the time at major concerts or other venues where they're making tweaks away from the mixing board. It's like when you have some singer/guitar at a restaurant/bar with a Giant Amp aimed at dinner tables 3 feet away (not an exaggeration), and deciding that it's more important to hear the music than it is for the diners to talk to each other. Loud doesn't equate to audible, and a lower volume might make the audience appreciate the music more than having to fight it. You can have loud AND you can have audible. But only if someone pays attention to what the actual output sounds like out in the bowl.

True statement from the article: Choosing to use black in any fashion, if not part of a team’s color scheme, is lazy, boring But then there's this: Here’s a list of teams that can wear black in their main unis or in an alternate, because black is part of their original color scheme: . . Carolina Panthers — only because no one cares . . I think we can all agree -- blue jerseys or black jerseys are where it's at. White jerseys are questionable at best Source: https://deadspin.com/teams-should-be-outlawed-from-wearing-black-1849825452

Why are we talking about drafting another young QB when we have Corral on the roster? Sure, he's unproven right now - but couldn't we build around him? Or do you want a 2nd young QB to partner with him and build from there?

If Baker had gotten the play off, we would be in better shape. You know Aaron R would have. Football awareness is critical

Mark Sanchez is not a good commentator

PIE for being a win on a short week.

“The TNF schedule is looking pretty good from here on out” thanks Al, for the compliment

Our defense is speedy. Let’s keep that up

MOre tv shots of Blank than of Tepper.

Cardiac cats time, I guess?

We’ve seen worse

Worked for Detroit.

Corral?

Game is on local WSOC and WAGA , no need for Amazon if you’re in the local viewing areas

Better than a lambeau leap!

Needed to do this at halftime when the refs asked for fresh flags

FOX would have stuck on the air at the end of that punt and talked about why it wasn’t a penalty.

They can still throw a flag late, can’t they?
